Menu AI
AI-powered menu management for restaurants. From photo to formatted, priced menu in minutes — OCR, Claude API, and a real-time pricing engine under the hood.
Three systems, one pipeline
OCR Pipeline
Extracts text from menu photos and PDFs. Handles handwritten menus, multi-column layouts, and non-English text.
AI Engine
Claude API structures raw OCR output into categorized menu items with descriptions, allergens, and modifiers.
Pricing System
Real-time tiered pricing engine. Calculates costs per menu based on complexity, item count, and subscription tier.
What it's built with
Problems worth solving
Messy input, clean output
Restaurant menus arrive as photos, PDFs, and handwritten notes. The OCR pipeline normalizes all of it into structured data before the AI layer touches it.
Magic Edit Chat
Natural language menu editing. Users say "add a gluten-free section" and the system restructures the entire menu intelligently — not just appending text.
Multi-tenant pricing
POS dealers manage hundreds of restaurants. The pricing engine handles per-restaurant billing, dealer margins, and volume discounts in real time.
