XC Café Smart Table

System overview

Coffee recommendations you can understand.

XC Café is a local-network smart-table experience. It uses an explainable weighted formula—not deep learning or a medical mood assessment—to rank safe, available drinks.

The four-step experience

1

Express

Guests manually choose Happy, Calm, Tired, Stressed, or Focused.

2

Match

Preferences, budget, availability, allergies, history, feedback and popularity shape scores.

3

Enjoy

Three ranked drinks show prices, details and transparent reasons.

4

Improve

Bounded feedback signals gradually improve future ranking.

Five benefits

Enhanced customer experience, increased sales and thoughtful upselling, personalized engagement, data-driven insights, and stronger customer loyalty.

Privacy and limits

Guest use needs no account or camera. The prototype stores a random session token, browser information, interactions, orders and feedback on the café’s local MySQL server. It is not a medical system, does not infer emotion from faces, and does not process payments. Staff should apply retention and backup policies appropriate to the café.
