AI menu scanning for restaurants
Photograph a restaurant menu, review recognised dishes beside the original and publish only after checking the draft.
Upload your menu before registering. AI creates an editable draft for you to review; the preview cannot charge a card or send a real kitchen order. Need help choosing a setup?
Turn a photographed menu into an editable draft
Upload your menu as a guest. AI prepares a draft and highlights uncertain prices and details for review.
Turn your menu into a draft you can check
Start with a readable photo or PDF. The important test is whether your restaurant can correct the result and keep dish options and selling prices clear.
- Check one fixed-price dish, one portion-size choice and one preparation surcharge.
- Verify that a bottle price or half-dozen price is a selling price, not an extra fee.
- Review names, categories and descriptions in each language you plan to offer.
- Preview the reviewed menu before registering to keep your restaurant.
What you can verify
The upload flow produces an editable draft. Check the actual recognition result using your own menu; no recognition accuracy percentage is promised.

The problem
Manual re-entry of long menus takes time, while unattended recognition can confuse logos, dishes, prices and allergens.
How SMOAI approaches it
SMOAI keeps the source image beside each draft dish and lets the restaurant correct names, categories, prices, descriptions and imagery before publication.
Practical workflow
- Upload the restaurant's own menu photos
- Review recognised dishes beside the source image
- Correct prices, categories, ingredients and allergen information
- Choose or generate reviewed dish imagery
- Publish the approved menu and test ordering
Expected operational outcomes
- Less repeated entry
- Reviewable source-to-dish evidence
- A menu ready for ordering after merchant approval
Who it suits
- Restaurants migrating a long printed menu
- New venues preparing a digital menu
- Operators with multilingual dish names
Who should evaluate alternatives first
- Anyone expecting unreviewed AI output to be food-safety advice
- Menus without permission to use their source photos
Frequently asked questions
Does SMOAI require proprietary restaurant hardware?
No. The web based terminal is designed for compatible phones, tablets, computers and TV screens. Some printer, payment terminal and full remote device controls still require compatible hardware or an Android wrapper.
Can a restaurant keep its existing POS or accept cash?
Yes. A restaurant can record cash or an external POS payment manually, or connect supported online payment services when it is ready.
How should a restaurant evaluate AI menu scanning for restaurants?
Run a pilot with the real menu, staff roles, network and payment method. Confirm the order path, kitchen handoff, offline recovery and staff training before full service.
