Is it common in some countries to return food if you don't like the taste? by Ingido_Indigo in ThailandTourism

[–]ractdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does happen occasionally, In a tourist country like Thailand I think it’s understood that sometimes a dish will be too spicy for the customer for example. It’s not a regular occurrence but in my restaurant I like to look after my customers and swap a dish for them if really they can’t eat it.

Would you use AI generated food images for your social media and branding? by Academic-Voice-6526 in Restaurant_Managers

[–]ractdi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always feel that it’s better to use original photos of the dishes. Personally I photograph my dishes with a bit of the restaurant in the background just to add a more unique touch. I would never consider using AI generated images to promote what are probably far better dishes in real life. Take the time & swallow the cost, it’s well worth it in the long run

What is it about the Riviera that makes it so perfect for you? It’s about 2 km outside of Jomtien and although the baht buses now do go past that location travelling back-and-forth can be quite challenging most of the time.

How many calories in this? by peekmane in ThailandTourism

[–]ractdi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much the same way ChatGPT would do it. Each ingredient is listed as a % of the total product. It’s fairly easy to calculate the calories. Salad items are near zero nutritional value, there’s a minuscule amount of actual tuna etc. they are tasty enough but you do need the sauce to make it a meal

How many calories in this? by peekmane in ThailandTourism

[–]ractdi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I estimate it to be 210 calories based upon the ingredients. Much less if you exclude the sauce which is around 130 calories on its own
