Made by hand for independent restaurants

Every "is this gluten free?", answered in seconds.

I build restaurants a chat assistant that knows your menu by heart, every ingredient, price and allergen. It answers customers day and night, and it never makes a dish up.

No app to install. No forms. Just send me your menu.

Answering now
Is anything here gluten free?
Yes. The Ceviche Peruano ($22.00) and the Aguachile ($22.00) are both gluten free, and the Arepas are made from cornmeal so they work too.
¿Cuál es menos picante?
Si buscas algo que no sea picante, te recomiendo los Ceviche Peruano. Es la opción más suave. El Aguachile está hecho con una salsa de pimiento serrano, así que es más picante.
Knows your whole menu
Every item, price, ingredient and allergen.
Answers around the clock
Before, during and long after service.
Never invents a dish
If it isn't on your menu, it says so.

The same ten questions, all day long.

Is it spicy?What's vegetarian?Does it have nuts?Can I swap the rice?Is that dish big enough to share?

Your team knows every answer, but repeating them through a dinner rush is time they don't have. And online, a customer who can't quickly find out whether something has dairy doesn't email to ask. They close the tab and order from the place that told them.

Go ahead, grill it.

This one is trained on a real menu from a restaurant I work with. Tap a question or type your own. It's the same assistant your customers would get, just on someone else's food.

Menu assistant
Live
Hi! Ask me anything about the menu, from spice levels and allergens to what's worth ordering. What are you in the mood for?

Every answer comes from the menu itself. Ask for a recommendation, then tap a dish to drop it into your cart. The price comes straight from the menu.

How this actually works.

No dashboard to learn, no software to run. You send me one thing, I do the rest.

1

You send your menu

A photo, a PDF, a link to your ordering page, whatever you already have. That is genuinely the only thing I need from you.

2

I build and train it

I turn your menu into an assistant that knows every dish, price and allergen. It usually takes me about a day, and the first one is free.

3

It gets to work

Put it on your website or a QR code at the table. It starts answering right away, and I keep it current whenever your menu changes.

It will never make something up.

Ask most chatbots about your menu and they will happily invent a dish, or a price. Mine can't. Every answer comes straight from the menu you gave me, and it stays on the subject of your food.

Exact allergen info
Does the Quesa Birria have dairy?
Yes. The Quesa Birria ($26.00) has grilled cheese on the tortillas, so it does contain dairy.
Real prices, never guessed
How much is the guacamole?
The Guacamole is $18.50, fresh avocado dip served with house chips.
Stays on your menu
What's the weather tomorrow?
I'm here to help with the menu, food, drinks and anything about dining with us.

It doesn't just answer. It takes the order.

The same assistant now carries a cart and checks out, with the price locked to your menu at every single step.

Add from the chat

When the assistant recommends a dish, the guest just taps it and it drops straight into the cart at the exact price on your menu, never a number it typed.

In store or online

Flip a switch: a running tally your servers read at the table, or card payment online for guests ordering ahead. You choose which is on, or turn ordering off entirely.

A total it can't fake

Every price is recalculated on the server from your menu at checkout. A customer can't edit it in their browser, and the assistant can never invent one. No mispriced orders, ever.

S Sam Kumar, founder

I'm Sam Kumar.

I'm a software developer and a student at Queen's University. I built MenuHost after watching the same thing play out in restaurant after restaurant: servers pulled off the floor to answer questions they've answered a hundred times, and customers walking away from an order because nothing told them what was actually in the dish.

I take on one restaurant at a time. That means I read your menu properly, learn how you talk about your food, and build an assistant that sounds like your place instead of a generic bot. If something in your menu looks off, I flag it before it goes live.

You work with me directly the whole way, from the free first demo to every price change after it. Need your website freshened up too? I do that as well.

Sam

Fair questions.

What does it cost?
The first demo is completely free, built on your own menu so you can see exactly how it answers. If you want to keep it, we work out a fair monthly rate based on your menu. No setup fees, no contracts, and I tell you the number before you commit to anything.
Do I need a website for this?
No. It can live on a QR code at the table or a link you share on Instagram or your ordering page. If you do want a proper website, I build those as well and can bundle the two.
What happens when my menu changes?
You send me the update and I'll have it live the same day. Seasonal specials, price changes, a dish that sold out, all easy to keep current.
Will it make things up about my food?
No. It only answers from the menu you give me, prices and allergens included. Ask it anything off topic and it politely steers back to your food. That is the whole point.
Can customers actually order through it?
Yes, if you want them to. The assistant can carry a cart and either take card payment online or simply tally a table's order for your servers to ring in. Prices always come straight from your menu and are re-checked on the server at checkout, so an order can never be mispriced or edited by the customer. Don't want ordering at all? It's a single switch to turn the whole thing off.
How long until it's live?
Usually about a day from the moment you send your menu. Most of that is me reading it carefully so the answers are right.

Send me your menu.
I'll build the rest.

I'll make a free assistant on your own menu and show you how it answers. Takes about five minutes of your time.
