The present invention relates to a system for supporting users and providers of a restaurant service.

A user of a restaurant service (hereinafter referred to as a "customer") may find it difficult to select a cooking item that suits his / her constitution, taste, physical condition, and the like. For example, a customer who develops an allergic reaction using a specific ingredient as an allergen cannot know whether or not the allergen is contained in each of the cooking items offered at a restaurant or other restaurant. It is not possible to select a suitable cooking item.

For example, in Patent Document 1, as a mechanism for solving the above problem, a customer asks a restaurant clerk (hereinafter, simply referred to as “clerk”) before inputting an order instructed by the customer into the handy terminal. An order entry system has been proposed in which if you enter the contraindicated ingredients (allergens, etc.) you hear into the handy terminal, you will not be able to accept orders for cooking items that include the contraindicated ingredients. According to the order entry system described in Patent Document 1, when the cooking item that the customer wants to order contains an allergen for the customer, the clerk informs the customer that the cooking item cannot be ordered. Therefore, the problem that the customer eats the food containing the allergen is avoided.
