Pizza Chain Using AI to Make Recommendations

I'm hungry! Oh no… but it's raining outside! 我很餓，但是在下雨！

I guess I'll order some food and have it delivered to my house.
我想吃一點東西，最好送到家裡來。What do I feel like eating? Hmm… pizza might
be a good idea! 吃披薩應該不錯吧！

Wouldn't it be great if restaurants knew exactly what you wanted to eat
before you even knew?

In fact, that is what one pizza restaurant is trying to do. They're trying to
gather information on customers to guess what people feel like eating before
they even order anything! 你還沒有點餐，餐廳已經知道你想吃甚麼了。

For example, if people usually drink a lot of cola on sunny days, this pizza
restaurant will know they need to have a lot of cola ready when the weather
is nice outside.

And if the restaurant learns that I like to order pepperoni pizza on rainy
days, then when it rains in the future, the restaurant might offer me
pepperoni pizza… before I even ask!
以後每次碰到下雨，那家餐廳就知道我要點披薩了，我都不用講。

How cool is that? 很酷吧？ If more restaurants do this, I won't have to think
about what I want in the future, they can just tell me!
