This paper aims to design and implement an advanced intelligent inventory management system for restaurants, optimizing the ingredient management process to ensure food safety and provide healthier dining options for customers. In the context of frequent concerns about food safety, a system capable of precisely monitoring the quality and shelf life of ingredients is particularly important. By reducing the use of expired and contaminated ingredients, such a system not only helps prevent food-borne illnesses but also reduces food waste by optimizing storage and usage, thereby lowering operational costs and environmental impact. Additionally, intelligent inventory management can assist restaurants in offering dishes that meet health standards, enhancing consumer trust and improving the restaurant’s brand image. Implementing this system not only aids in improving the operational efficiency of restaurants but also underscores the critical role of technology in maintaining public health and promoting a culture of healthy eating.
