Ahaar: An Intelligent Cloud Kitchen Model to Promote “Your Health Matters”

Abstract

Over the past few years, the obesity problem has increased in parallel with the portion size of food. Also, because of the urban lifestyle, online food ordering is increasing. Together, these factors contribute to numerous health implications, including obesity. To improve the dietary practices among urban people, this project proposes a nutrition-metric-based cloud kitchen model, namely the Ahaar. Ahaar, with all its features, promotes the motto “your health matters” in addition to the food ordering and delivery services generally provided by other online food ordering platforms. The proposed model is a cloud-based dynamic single-page application. Here, both the app and website implement micronutrient-based food ratings to increase awareness of a healthy diet. Moreover, Ahaar recommends suggestions based on calorie intake, nutritional information, diseases, and food quality. It precisely tracks the user's daily calorie consumption and monthly budget plan for rations using a calorie and budget tracker.
