Palate - Menu Scanner

If you eat vegan, keto, halal, kosher, gluten-free or dairy-free — or you're managing an allergy — you already know the routine. Everyone else orders in a minute. You're still scanning the menu line by line, working out what's safe, and half the time asking the waiter anyway. Palate does that part for you. Take a photo of the menu and it tells you what you can actually eat, in seconds. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ YOUR RULES, NOT A DROPDOWN Set a diet if one fits — Vegetarian, Vegan, Pescatarian, Keto, Paleo, Halal, Kosher, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, or Weight Loss / Weight Gain mode. But real life rarely fits a dropdown, so you can also just write your own rules in your own words: • "I'm Muslim so no pork or alcohol" • "Coeliac — cross-contamination matters, not just gluten" • "Pregnant, no raw fish or soft cheese" • "Low FODMAP for IBS" • "Marathon in two weeks, need carbs" Palate treats whatever you write as a hard rule and won't suggest anything that breaks it — including the drink. ALLERGIES TAKEN SERIOUSLY List what you're allergic to once. Palate never suggests it again, flags near-misses, and marks a recommendation as allergen-free only when it genuinely is. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set up your diet, allergies, rules and budget once. 2. At the restaurant, take a photo of the menu. 3. Get a pick you can actually eat, in seconds — with the reason why. WHAT MAKES PALATE DIFFERENT • Your own rules in plain English — not just a diet dropdown, but whatever your actual situation is, treated as a hard rule. • Allergy-aware — tell Palate what you're allergic to and it will never suggest those ingredients. • It learns from you — rate a pick or tell Palate what you actually ordered, and it gets noticeably better at reading your taste. • Budget-aware — Budget, Mid-range or Splurge, and picks stay in range. • Group orders — everyone at the table on a different diet? Palate picks a different dish for each person, respecting each set of rules. • Ask it anything — "what's vegan here?", "is the soup dairy-free?" — and get a straight answer about that exact menu. • Works in any language — Palate reads menus in Spanish, French, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic and more, then answers in the language you choose. • Travelling? A menu in a language you don't read is the hardest place to eat safely. This is where Palate earns its keep. EVERY SCAN INCLUDES • A dish recommendation matched to your diet and budget, with reasoning • A drink pairing pick • Price and rough calorie estimates • A spice level • A "House Favourite" tag for restaurant specials • A "Best Value" tag for the smartest order • A single dish to avoid, and why GO DEEPER • Glossary — Palate explains unfamiliar ingredients and dish names • Health Score — see how healthy the menu is and which dishes are the lightest picks • Match Score — find out exactly how well a dish fits your diet and taste profile • Ask a Question — pose any follow-up to Palate about the menu, like "what's vegan here?"
