Why This Works

Built on the same framework top consultants use — validated against a real one

🧪
BENCHMARKED

We tested MenuGenie against a 15-year menu consultant on 10 real restaurant menus. AI matched the expert's classifications on 8 out of 10.

Same Star/Dog/Puzzle/Plowhorse framework
📊
THE MATH

Menu engineering typically lifts restaurant revenue 10–25%. On a restaurant doing $40K/month, even a 5% lift = $2,000/month. The report costs $49 once.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before you analyze.

How does MenuGenie work? +

Upload your menu as a photo, PDF, or pasted text. Our AI analyzes every item using the Star/Plowhorse/Puzzle/Dog menu engineering framework — the same methodology used by professional consultants. You get a menu health score, category classifications, and specific pricing recommendations in under 2 minutes.

Is the free analysis really free? +

Yes — no signup, no credit card, no catch. The free tier gives you a menu score, a preview of 2 flagged items, and your top 3 quick wins. The Pro report ($49 one-time) unlocks the full item-by-item analysis with specific dollar-amount pricing fixes for every item on your menu.

How accurate is the AI? +

We benchmarked MenuGenie against a 15-year menu engineering consultant on 10 real restaurant menus. The AI matched the expert's classifications on 8 out of 10 (80% accuracy) — and caught 3 pricing opportunities the human consultant missed. Full methodology available on request.

What formats does it accept? +

Photo of your printed menu (JPG/PNG), PDF menus, pasted menu text, or a URL to your online menu. Works with restaurant websites, Toast, Square, Popmenu, and most online menu platforms. Photos of laminated menus, chalkboard specials, and handwritten menus also work.

Can I download or print my report? +

Yes. The Pro report includes a "Download Report (HTML)" button and a "Save as PDF" button. The HTML file is a complete, standalone document you can open in any browser, share with your team, or keep for reference. The PDF version is print-ready.

What's the Star/Plowhorse/Puzzle/Dog framework? +

It's the industry-standard menu engineering matrix developed by Cornell researchers in the 1980s and used by top restaurant consultants globally. Every item is rated on two dimensions — popularity and profit margin — to determine whether it's a Star (keep and feature), Plowhorse (reprice up), Puzzle (promote more), or Dog (remove or rework).
