Research & notes
Research behind Meet My Menu: restaurant discovery, readable menu information, and the moment a diner decides where to go.
01
Before a person walks in, a menu often decides whether the restaurant makes the shortlist at all.
Menu information affects discovery, confidence, and the ability to choose independently. Structured, accessible menus give diners something useful to act on and give search and AI systems information they can understand.

When people ask AI and voice assistants where to eat, only a small set of restaurants becomes visible. Accurate, machine-readable menu information matters before the recommendation is made.

The goal is not extracting words. It is helping someone choose a meal without handing the decision to someone else. Camera guidance, categories, allergen warnings, and recovery after a bad scan all matter.
A camera can read a menu only after the person using it knows where to aim. Good guidance should say what changed, what to do next, and when the full menu is in frame.
