## What is BetterMenu?

Ever sat in a foreign restaurant, staring at a menu you couldn't read? BetterMenu turns that moment of confusion into confident discovery. Just point your camera at any menu and instantly get a beautiful, visual guide to every dish.

HOW IT WORKS
Scan — Point your camera at any printed or handwritten menu. BetterMenu's AI reads it in seconds, no matter the language.
See — Every dish is displayed with a photo and a clear description so you know exactly what you're ordering.
Decide — Filter by category and compare dishes side by side. Making a choice easier than ever.

PERFECT FOR TRAVELLERS
Works with menus in 50+ languages — from Japanese kanji to Arabic script
Save menus to revisit your favorite spots and dishes

BUILT FOR FOOD LOVERS
Discover hidden gems — understand exactly what local specialties are before you order
Beautifully structured layout replaces messy, hard-to-read paper menus

WHY BETTERMENU?
Traditional translation apps give you words. BetterMenu gives you understanding. Instead of a literal translation like "red braised lion head," you'll see a photo of a savory pork meatball dish with its full ingredient list. That's the BetterMenu difference — context, clarity, and confidence at every meal.
Whether you're navigating street food stalls in Bangkok, a Michelin-star restaurant in Tokyo, or a cozy trattoria in Rome, BetterMenu is your personal food guide that fits in your pocket.

It works! I scanned a menu and it showed me pictures, dishes looked very close to reality.

### 5/5 — Really good for navigating local spots

*2026-04-12*

Tiny Japanese place, one laminated sheet, all Japanese - dish photos made it easy. Allergen info per dish would be a nice addition.

**Developer response:** Thanks for showing interest, I appreciate it a lot. I plan to add allergen filtering in near future, so stay tuned. I hope you'll enjoy the new feature once it's live!
