SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING RECIPES VISUALLY
First Claim
1. A method of operating a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising, with the at least one processor:
- providing, on a user interface, a graphical representation of an operational environment of a food establishment, the graphical representation comprising a layout of a plurality of ingredients; and
for a recipe associated with a set of ingredients of the plurality of ingredients, interacting with a user to simulate a process of preparation of a product described in the recipe from the set of ingredients, using the graphical representation.

Abstract
A recipe system for simulating an operational environment of a food establishment for guiding a user, such as an employee, to prepare recipes in the actual operational environment. The user may be guided through each step of preparation of a product from a recipe. The recipe system may also be used for training a user to learn a layout of ingredients, and memorize recipes for meals and drinks prepared using the ingredients. The recipe system may allow the user to interact with the recipe system to provide user input to simulate preparation of a meal. The recipe system may track time required by the user to prepare a product and adjust a training process based on user'"'"'s performance. The recipe system can further be used to simulate different layouts of the operational environment and assess efficiency of each layout by receiving user input simulating preparation of recipes using the layout.

13. A method of operating a computer comprising at least one processor, the method comprising, with the at least one processor:
-
providing a graphical representation of a first layout of a plurality of ingredients; receiving user input with respect to the graphical representation of the first layout, the user input indicating selection of a set of ingredients of the plurality of ingredients to simulate preparation of at least one recipe associated with the set of ingredients; and modifying the graphical representation of the first layout based on the received user input to provide a graphical representation of a second layout, wherein at least one ingredient from the plurality of ingredients has a position in the graphical representation of the second layout that is different from a position of the at least one ingredient in the graphical representation of the first layout. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
