In recent years, with the penetration of the "Internet +" technology, the concept of "intelligent catering" has begun to spread. Improving labor efficiency through technology and changing the labor structure with low quality and low added value have become the keys to the transformation of the catering industry. Nowadays, the technological concepts in the catering industry will be enhanced, and the support of technology for the catering industry will also be strengthened. With the in-depth application of mobile Internet, the mode of adopting intelligence to reduce labor costs and relying on standardization to reduce risks in the business process will lead the innovative development of the industry and accelerate the development speed of leading enterprises. Intelligent cooking machines, robot waiters for food delivery, fully self-service unmanned restaurants and other intelligent business models will appear more and more frequently in catering services.
Currently, some well-known catering enterprises and Internet giants have already applied emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence to traditional catering industry scenarios. Today, we are honored to interview Liu Wei, the president of Beijing Shengbaiwei Catering Management Co., Ltd., and let's talk about how traditional catering industry and intelligent technologies are integrated.

Liu Wei is a marketing expert who has been deeply engaged in the research and analysis of the intelligent catering industry. He has been engaged in catering management for more than ten years and has made important contributions to the development of intelligent catering. Liu Wei once presided over the key project "Research on the Digital Transformation Strategies of Catering Enterprises from the Web Perspective - Research on the Interactivity and Practicality of Big Data Technology in Digital Catering", which provided effective solutions for intelligent catering and won unanimous praise from professional peers. In addition, relying on his outstanding achievements in the industry, Liu Wei also won the "Pioneer of Scientific and Technological Innovation in the 14th Five-Year Plan Intelligent Catering Industry" award at the 19th China Scientists Forum and is a well-deserved pioneer in the intelligent catering industry.
Liu Wei said, "Currently, with the advent of the era of artificial intelligence, the intelligent restaurant model has also entered our lives. The application scenarios it presents include not only unmanned restaurants, intelligent cafeterias, digital logistics management, but also intelligent software and hardware equipment." Intelligent restaurants represent the development direction of the catering industry in the future and are the inevitable result of catering automation under the trend of an intelligent society. It is also the general trend in the future that traditional catering industry will be replaced by intelligent restaurants. In this situation, traditional catering enterprises should clearly recognize the situation, accelerate the pace of transformation and upgrading, and join the ranks of intelligent catering as soon as possible to share the fruits brought by scientific and technological innovation. And Liu Wei, with software application as the core, has boldly carried out practical exploration and independently developed the "Intelligent Catering Big Data Health Management System Based on AI Food Recognition".
Liu Wei introduced to us that the "Intelligent Catering Big Data Health Management System Based on AI Food Recognition" is mainly used in intelligent cafeterias. When conducting dining management, it can query the information on the amount of dishes according to the height, weight and number of diners, and make precise dish combinations. Through this system, precise production and combination management of the dining amount can be achieved, which not only avoids food waste but also ensures that diners can have a healthy diet. In actual application, diners can directly check the nutritional components of each dish when choosing dishes and check the nutritional intake of this meal when settling accounts. Diners can check the nutritional analysis report through mobile terminals at any time.
Moreover, the "Intelligent Catering Big Data Health Management System Based on AI Food Recognition" can also realize AI visual recognition of tableware and dishes through recognition services. Diners can choose dishes on the self-service dining line, place them uniformly on the plate and take them to the settlement area of the intelligent AI visual settlement counter for settlement. The system will automatically recognize and calculate the prices of dishes according to the dish images. Diners can complete the settlement by scanning codes, swiping cards or using face recognition. The equipment can learn intelligently and correct errors automatically, basically without the intervention of waiters.
Since the application of the "Intelligent Catering Big Data Health Management System Based on AI Food Recognition", diners' satisfaction with dishes and services has been greatly improved, and the operation and management efficiency of cafeterias has also been significantly enhanced. According to statistics, this system has saved nearly 40% of labor costs for the operation of cafeterias or restaurants and improved the system construction of intelligent restaurants. Moreover, the forward-looking and innovative nature of this achievement has also been recognized by experts and the society. It has been widely applied to many restaurants and intelligent cafeterias and is a rare high-quality technological achievement in the industry, which has greatly promoted the development of intelligent catering.
Liu Wei said that in the future, the catering industry will continue to apply intelligent systems to numerous practical scenarios with high-quality services and AI technologies of scientific and technological innovation, create intelligent community business models, let intelligent services enter thousands of households, take catering as the essence and technology as the guidance, and jointly create a beautiful and intelligent future.
