What it is

MenuGenie analyzes restaurant menus and returns a score, item classifications, and pricing recommendations. It runs on the web and accepts menu content as JPG or PNG photos, PDFs, pasted text, or online menu URLs. Its framework groups items as Star, Plowhorse, Puzzle, or Dog according to popularity and profit margin. A free analysis needs no signup or credit card and provides a score, a preview of flagged items, and quick wins. The Pro report adds item-by-item analysis, pricing fixes, recommendations, and a 30-day action plan; it is emailed as a PDF and can also be downloaded as PDF or HTML. The listed Pro plan costs $49 as a one-time purchase, with no subscription. MenuGenie says URL fetching works with restaurant sites, Toast, Square, Popmenu, Wix, and most online menus. Submitted menu contents go to OpenAI GPT-4o or Anthropic Claude for analysis, without the user's name or email. The service says it retains analyses, reports, and buyer contact details while it operates, and permanently deletes requested data within 30 days.
