Ordering should not be the hardest part of eating out. Point your camera at any menu and Picky reads every dish, then tells you which ones are for you, which are worth asking about, and which to skip. It helps if you eat carefully - allergies, intolerances, ARFID, autism, sensory sensitivities. It helps just as much if you are abroad staring at a menu you cannot read, or you are simply tired of deciding. HOW IT WORKS - Point your camera at a menu, or paste the text - Picky reads every dish and checks it against how you eat - Dishes that suit you come first. "Worth asking" gives you the exact question to ask your server, so you don't have to improvise MENUS IN OTHER LANGUAGES Picky reads menus written in languages you don't speak and tells you what's actually in each dish, so an unfamiliar menu abroad stops being a gamble. FEWER THINGS TO DECIDE A long menu becomes a short list. Picky puts the dishes that suit you at the top and collapses the rest, so you are choosing between three good options instead of forty unknowns. TELL IT HOW YOU EAT Go past ingredients. Rule out fried food, anything too heavy, or more than mild spice. Set a diet like vegetarian, vegan, halal or kosher and Picky rules out everything that breaks it - including things you'd never think to list, like gelatin or stock. Flag textures that put you off, from mushy to visible green specks. IT LEARNS FROM YOUR MEALS Tell Picky how a meal went and it gets more confident over time: which cuisines suit you, which textures don't, which restaurants have worked before. PLAN AHEAD Save the places that worked. Add upcoming trips and pin restaurants to check before you go. EATING WITH OTHER PEOPLE Start a group session and share a menu. Everyone sees the same dishes judged against their own restrictions, so nobody has to explain themselves at the table. PICKY UNLIMITED Free includes 5 scans to start, then 2 a month, with dish verdicts and names. Unlimited adds: - Unlimited scans - The reason behind every flag - Full ingredient breakdowns - Ballpark calories on dishes that suit you - Saved restaurants and history - Group dining - Shareable scan cards £5.99/month or £59.99/year. Cancel any time. Picky is a food preference assistant, not medical advice. It reads what's printed on a menu and can be wrong. Always confirm with restaurant staff before ordering if a reaction would be serious. Picky Unlimited is an auto-renewable subscription: £5.99/month or £59.99/year.

This belief has grown into a greater vision—to become a preferred global brand for tea drinks & ice cream, while providing the best platform for our partners to achieve their dreams. Today, that belief continues to cross borders, bringing authentic tea to the world. BINGXUE’s pursuit of great flavors spans 72 countries—from the pastures of New Zealand and tropical orchards across Southeast Asia to the tea-growing regions of Sri Lanka and coffee farms in Brazil. We bring together world-class ingredients and fresh preparation techniques, allowing the natural aroma of tea and fruits to interweave perfectly with the mellow texture of fresh milk and coffee. Our four core product lines—Fresh Fruit Tea, Real Milk Tea, Signature Ice Cream, and Fresh Coffee—each tell a story of origin and craftsmanship. We have built an integrated supply chain, with R&D, sourcing, manufacturing, logistics, and training working together as five interconnected capabilities. Supported by our own industrial parks and smart factories, we ensure consistent quality in every cup. BINGXUE is more than a drink—it is an immersive experience. Our stores are designed as five-sense theaters, where sight, sound, aroma, touch, and taste come together in harmony.
