## What is MenuCraft?

Design menus that actually sell. 
Every item on your menu has a story — margin, mix, popularity. MenuCraft puts that story in front of you so you can reprice, reposition, or pull items before the weekend that costs you. No spreadsheet, no consultant.                  

Features:                                                                                                             
  • Menu engineering matrix: stars, puzzles, plow-horses, dogs — at a glance                                            
  • Price simulator: see margin impact of a change before you commit                                                    
  • Category performance views for seasonal refreshes                                                                   
  • Printable and digital menu export — your design, your way
  • Works with recipes from MyCookbook for automatic cost integration

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-05

MenuCraft got a full redesign.

I rebuilt the whole app around a warm, editorial "linen cookbook" look — ink on paper, one clean accent, real typography. Your recipes and menus should feel like something you'd actually keep, not another cold tech app.

What changed:
• A brand-new warm light theme across every screen
• Recipe cards restyled with serif titles and a cleaner layout
• A clearer menu builder — numbered sections, less clutter, easier to read
• Polished details everywhere: menus, settings, pricing, and the printed-menu preview

Same fast recipe-to-menu workflow. Just a lot nicer to live in.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-05-25

Fixes for Pro access after redeeming a bundle code, recipe photo scanning, and the "hide prices" PDF option. Plus reliability and security improvements behind the scenes.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-04-30

Redeem an ALSTIG Bundle code in Settings to unlock Pro — for operators who bought the bundle on the web.                                           
Cleaner PDF exports. Menus now render through a real browser engine, so page breaks land where they should on multi-section menus.

### 1.0 — 2026-03-28

No release notes.
