Where this applies

Japan, one contract food-service operator that runs care-home, company and school catering. It says it took part in a trial of an AI menu planner in real food-service menus, that menu planning had been concentrated on a few staff, that the tool can generate menus meeting set conditions for up to several months, that a registered dietitian (管理栄養士) checks the menus, and that by its own estimate about 70% of menu-planning work could be cut. An operator's estimate from a pilot, not a measured result; the operator was a partner of the vendor.
