The Golden Record
Layers of AI in foodservice, one record underneath them all.
Agents and intelligence are only as good as the data they run on. Data Controller is the layer that makes every record trustworthy before anything above it reads it.

Why now
Everything changed at the same time.
Three shifts landed in the same few years, and each one makes a bad item record more expensive than it used to be. The data has to be right before any of them can work.
AI
Work that used to take a team of analysts can now be done by a model, if the data underneath is trustworthy.
Digital ordering
Ordering systems read item data directly. Bad data is now a lost order, not a cleanup task.
Regulation & Compliance
Getting item or packaging data wrong is not just a legal exposure. It is the price of doing business with the partners who require it.
