Automatic portion control refers to systems or devices designed to measure and dispense specific amounts of food or ingredients without manual intervention. These systems can help ensure consistent serving sizes, which is beneficial for both nutrition and cost management in settings like restaurants or cafeterias. By using technology such as sensors and digital scales, automatic portion control can reduce food waste and improve dietary adherence. This approach is increasingly popular in the food industry, where maintaining quality and efficiency is essential. Devices may include portion control dispensers or smart kitchen scales that provide precise measurements.
