## What is Forq?

Forty dishes on the menu and not one picture. Scan it with Forq and every item appears with an image, calories, allergens and the price — laid out like your favorite delivery app.

No more ordering blind because "branzino al cartoccio" tells you nothing.

WHAT FORQ DOES

• Menu scanner — photograph any paper menu and Forq rebuilds it in seconds as a clean, scrollable digital menu, sorted by category.

• An image for every dish — see the food before you order it. Images are AI-generated from the dish name.

• Menu reader in your language — in Italy, Japan or Thailand, Forq reads the menu and shows it in English, with images to match.

• Calories and nutrition — per-dish calorie, protein, fat and carb estimates, so eating out still fits your day.

• Gluten, halal, vegan — mark what you avoid and Forq flags the dishes that suit you, plus the likely allergens in each one.

• The real price — taxes and service charges are surfaced when the menu lists them, so the bill holds no surprises.

• Show to waiter — build your order and show it in the menu's own language. No pointing, no guessing.

PERFECT FOR

• Menus with no photos, where the dish names tell you nothing
• Traveling in Europe or Asia with a menu you can't read
• Eating out while tracking calories
• Celiac, halal, vegan and allergy needs
• Anyone who has ordered a dish and been surprised by what arrived

HOW IT WORKS

1. Photograph the paper menu.
2. Forq recognizes it and builds your digital menu in seconds.
3. Browse dishes with images, calories and prices — tap any item for details.

IMPORTANT

Dish images and calorie figures are produced by AI from the dish name and are for guidance only. They may be inaccurate or differ from the actual dish. Always rely on the restaurant's own information for prices, ingredients, allergens and nutrition — especially if you have allergies or dietary restrictions.

Forq Plus unlocks an image for every dish, up to 6 menu pages per scan, and iCloud sync across your devices. Subscriptions renew automatically; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings.

Scan the menu. See the food. Order with confidence.

### 5/5 — Finally understand restaurant menus abroad

*2026-06-07*

Used this app throughout our trip to Korea and it was amazing 🥹 Just snap a photo of the menu in Korean and it turns everything into an easy-to-read list of dishes with images, translations on my language, macros. Thank you :)

Way better than trying to translate an entire menu with a generic translator. Made ordering food much less stressful and helped us try new dishes with confidence 🤌🏼

Definitely keeping this app for future trips 🫡

**Developer response:** Thank you for the amazing review! ❤️

We’re thrilled that Forq helped you explore Korean food with confidence and made menu translation so much easier. Hearing that the app helped you discover new dishes and enjoy your trip is exactly why we built it.

Thank you for your support, and we hope Forq joins you on many future adventures! ✈️🍜
