Systems and methods for dynamic pricing of food items

A system comprising one or more processors and non-transitory computer storage media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:

• providing, by the system for presentation via a terminal, an interactive user interface application, wherein the interactive user interface application at least:
• enables selection of a food menu item to be ordered via the terminal, and
• responds to specification of one or more constraints associated with customizing the food menu item, the constraints adjusting respective ingredient characteristics associated with the food menu item;
• receiving, by the system from the terminal, a first user selection of the food menu item, and accessing a first data structure identifying ingredients of the food menu item;
• causing, by the system, updating of the interactive user interface application to cause presentation of information describing the food menu item, and receiving, by the system and from the terminal, specification of the one or more constraints associated with customizing the food menu item;
• selecting, by the system, one or more data structures based on the specified one or more constraints, the one or more data structures mapping ingredient characteristics to respective ingredients;
• and
• determining, by the system for the food menu item, a set of ingredients customized according to the one or more constraints, the determining being based, at least in part, on the first data structure and the selected one or more data structures.
