Abstract

Currently, blended food has been a common menu item in fast food restaurants. The sales of the fast-food industry grow thanks to several sales strategies, including the “combos”, so, specialty, regional, family and buffet restaurants are even joining combos’ promotions. This research paper presents the implementation of a system that will serve as support to elaborate combos according to the preferences of the diners using data mining techniques to find relationships between the different dishes that are offered in a restaurant. The software resulting from this research is being used by the mobile application Food Express, with which it communicates through webservices.
