Abstract

A computer-implemented method includes identifying a first menu item on a standard menu of an establishment. A first plurality of ingredients of the first menu item are determined. A first subset of the first plurality of ingredients of the first menu item are categorized into a substitutable category. A second subset of the first plurality of ingredients of the first menu item are categorized into a non-substitutable category. Each ingredient of the first menu item that is in the substitutable category is compared to user preferences. A substitutable ingredient of the substitutable category is excluded, based on the comparisons, where the substitutable ingredient is in the first menu item. An available substitute is automatically identified for the substitutable ingredient of the substitutable category. A personalized menu of menu items selected from the standard menu is generated, where the personalized menu includes the first menu item modified with the available substitute.
