AI agent for catering managers
Event Dietary Requirement Reconciliation Agent
Every attendee with a dietary need has a confirmed, correctly labelled meal.
What it does
Dietary requirements for events live in registration forms, spreadsheets and caterer drafts that do not agree. When registration closes or a menu draft arrives, this agent compares every attendee's requirement across sources by attendee ID. The attendee's latest confirmed record is the source of truth; other conflicts go to the coordinator. It then matches each requirement to the approved menu labels and checks whether each meal's ingredients and allergens are confirmed. Missing allergen information leads to a question for the caterer or a specialist, never a safety assumption. It prepares a review list for the caterer. The coordinator approves instructions, and allergen safety decisions stay with people. Edge case: a guest lists both vegan and fish allergy, so both apply.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
