Abstract

This paper conducts an in-depth study on the catering recommendation space based on different situations. By consulting the literature, visiting relevant experts, condensing the theoretical knowledge of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) constitutional dietotherapy theory, it has extracted some key factors that can be effectively utilized in catering theory. The variable framework of the situational catering recommendation system is preliminarily constructed. Also, it has designed a mixed catering recommendation space that combines TCM Constitutional Theory and user situation, which not only meets individual preferences but also improves the users’ sub-health status. Finally, through the questionnaire survey, the importance of each attribute in the eyes of consumers has been recognized; then this essay provides a guidance for the recommendation ranking method in the design of the catering recommendation system after making the cross-analysis.
