MenuConverter: AI-Powered Menu Translation

Problem

Restaurants need a fast, reliable way to serve menus in multiple languages without losing cultural nuance from their native language at a cost effective price point.

Research

• AI-powered menu translations with human in the loop review
• One QR code for every language, click for each language version
• Customisable digital menus with metrics on visits by language
• Supabase RLS policies for secure, per-restaurant data isolation
• Integrated Stripe, OpenAi, Supabase and Cloudflare for CDN.
