Subversion 0.3.1 – Nutritional AI for Ingredient Information

Release Date: June 16th, 2023
v0.3.1 was the first step toward enhancing nutritional transparency by introducing an AI-powered ingredient analyzer. With this subversion, restaurants could begin to transform their menus by automatically extracting and displaying nutritional details. Key features included:

• AI Ingredient Analysis: The system could analyze each dish's ingredients to generate accurate nutritional data, such as calories, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

• Nutrient Breakdown: For each menu item, the AI provided a breakdown of core nutrients, allowing customers to make informed dietary decisions.

• Time-Saving Automation: By utilizing AI, restaurants saved significant time that would otherwise be spent manually researching and inputting nutritional values.

This subversion set the groundwork for creating a detailed and accurate nutritional profile for menu items, making it easier for restaurants to adhere to nutritional labeling requirements and offer transparency to health-conscious diners.

Subversion 0.3.2 – Manual Addition & Editing of Nutritional Details

Release Date: June 30th, 2023
v0.3.2 empowered restaurants by giving them full control over their nutritional data. While the AI provided automated analysis, this subversion allowed restaurants to manually add, edit, and fine-tune nutritional information for any menu item. Highlights of this update included:

• Custom Nutritional Entries: Restaurant owners could manually input or correct nutritional details, ensuring accuracy for complex dishes or special ingredients not recognized by AI.

• Editing Flexibility: Nutritional information could be updated to reflect changes in recipes, portion sizes, or ingredient substitutions.

• Enhanced Accuracy: The ability to manually edit AI-generated data provided restaurants with the flexibility to ensure all nutritional declarations were precise and matched real-world menu offerings.

This feature made sure that restaurants maintained control over their menus while still benefiting from the efficiency of AI integration, balancing automation with accuracy.

Subversion 0.3.3 – Auto-Fill Nutritional Values from a Basic Database

Release Date: July 14th, 2023
The final subversion in this series, v0.3.3, further enhanced the nutritional integration by introducing an auto-fill feature. This allowed restaurants to quickly populate nutritional data using a basic database, accelerating the menu creation process. The main capabilities included:

• Auto-Fill from Database: For common ingredients, the system could pull nutritional values from an integrated database, instantly filling in calorie counts, macros, and other key information.

• Database-Based Suggestions: The auto-fill feature suggested nutritional values based on the most common ingredients and portion sizes, saving time and reducing the effort needed for input.

• Seamless Integration with Manual Editing: Restaurants could combine the auto-fill feature with manual editing to fine-tune details or add ingredients not available in the base database.

This update significantly sped up the nutritional labeling process, enabling restaurants to present accurate and comprehensive nutritional information to their customers with minimal effort.
