Dining out with dietary restrictions or food allergies shouldn't feel like a research project. Pickle Plate scans restaurant menus and tells you exactly what to order and what to skip based on your personal profile. HOW IT WORKS Point your camera at a menu (even a multi-page one), and Pickle Plate reads every item. In seconds, you get a personalized recommendation: a top entree pick, a few other solid choices, and a clear list of anything that conflicts with your allergens so you can relax and enjoy the meal. BUILT FOR YOUR DIET Set up your profile once with your dietary style (example: keto, vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free, or calorie-conscious) and your allergens (example: peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, dairy, gluten, eggs, or soy). Add custom notes for anything more specific. Pickle Plate remembers your profile and uses it every time you scan. YOUR SCAN HISTORY Every menu you scan is saved so you can reference it later. Great for returning to a restaurant or sharing recommendations. A NOTE ON AI Pickle Plate uses AI to read menus and make recommendations. AI can make mistakes. Always confirm ingredients with your server before ordering, especially for serious allergies. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
