Hi everyone, I’m Kevin, the maker of MenuCheck. I have gout, so I know how frustrating it is to open a restaurant menu and wonder what I can actually order. Talking with friends who have other dietary needs made me want to build something that could make that moment easier. MenuCheck lets you scan a menu and see options based on your needs. It’s an early version, and I’d love honest feedback: what would make it more useful when you’re deciding what to eat?

Appreciate the trial tip. Happy to record first impressions of MenuCheck and be honest about whether the scan path feels clear on a cold visit. Totally free. You can confirm your recording day here: https://betabloom.app/clarity-consult
Building Tools That Eliminate Busy Work
Good to see a tool built from a real diagnosis, Kevin. To answer your question about what would make it more useful: for conditions like gout or diabetes, the menu is only half the picture, because most people eat at home far more often than they dine out. A small "what to buy for the week" view that reuses the same dietary filters (for example low-purine or low-sugar shopping lists) would keep users in the app between restaurant visits. Also, when MenuCheck flags a dish as risky, showing the specific ingredient that triggered it (say, organ meat or a sugary glaze) would help people learn the pattern instead of just following a yes or no.

We have already planned that for the upcoming feature, literally based on what you ordered the most, it can generate a grocery shopping list when there is enough data. thank you for the comment !

Does MenuCheck make scanning a menu and eating with confidence feel clear on a cold visit before someone trusts it at a restaurant? Happy to send a totally free first-impression video if useful.

Love that this comes from your own experience with gout. That's usually the sign of a tool that gets the details right. One question: restaurant menus rarely list every ingredient (sauces, marinades, stock bases). How does MenuCheck handle a dish where it can't be sure? A clear "ask your server about X" flag on uncertain dishes would build a lot of trust, especially for celiac and allergy users, where a confident wrong answer is worse than no answer. Also, would offline scanning be possible for basements and spotty restaurant signal?

At this point, only online is available as it's tie to a backend to do live analysis, and this is only to be used as a suggestion, and from what's showing up on the menu, if there is uncertain ingredients that might not be shown on menu, always ask the server to double check first.
Travelling is where I'd need this most. Ordering abroad with a menu in a language you can't read is always a gamble when you have to avoid certain ingredients. Does MenuCheck work on menus in other languages, say Italian or Spanish?

Absolutely!
Since the dietary profile includes health conditions (gout, diabetes, celiac), I'm curious where that profile lives: only on the phone, or on your servers? In the EU that counts as special-category health data, so a line like "your conditions never leave your device" would be a strong trust signal on the listing, right next to the camera scan. Is the menu photo processed on-device, or sent to a model?

all sent to model. app itself is only 4mb in size, all processing happening on the backend.
