Language shouldn't be a barrier
to connection.

Every restaurant owner knows the moment: a tourist walks in, struggles with the menu, and leaves without ordering. These three problems are costing your restaurant $5,000+ a year.

Busy restaurant during dinner service — waiter carrying plates between tables while diners study menus
1 in 3 allergic diners have had a reaction at a restaurant

Every guest deserves to feel safe at your table.

A busy Friday night. A tourist asks about peanuts. Your waiter isn't sure. That moment of uncertainty is the opposite of hospitality. MenuLingo gives every guest instant, verified allergen information on every dish — so they feel cared for, and you feel confident.

Your menu should keep up with your kitchen.

A new seasonal special, a sold-out dish, a price change — every update used to mean redesign, retranslation, and reprinting. With MenuLingo, you update once and every language regenerates instantly. Your QR code never changes. Your guests always see what's fresh.

When guests can't read the menu, they don't feel welcome.

International guests stare at your menu, point at something safe, and leave underwhelmed. They wanted to explore your food, not play it safe. When your menu speaks their language, they order with confidence — and spend 30% more.

Sound familiar?

You want every guest to feel at home. These get in the way.

A diner asked about allergens and your staff weren’t sure

You changed the menu and had to reprint everything

A tourist struggled to order because of the language barrier

You heard about the new allergen laws and thought “I’ll deal with that later”

A bad review mentioned allergens or dietary confusion

New staff needed training on which dishes contain what

If you ticked even one, MenuLingo was built for exactly this moment.

Compliance deadline approaching

New allergen laws are coming.
Is your menu ready?

Allergen disclosure laws are tightening worldwide. Restaurants that aren't prepared face fines, lawsuits, and reputational damage.

Only 14% of restaurants provide allergen info on their menus
🇺🇸

California, USA

July 1, 2026

First-in-the-nation law requiring restaurant chains (20+ locations) to disclose 9 major allergens on all physical and digital menus. QR code menus are explicitly approved for compliance.

Expected to expand to smaller restaurants and other US states.

🇪🇺

European Union

Already in force

EU Regulation 1169/2011 requires all restaurants to declare 14 major allergens for non-prepacked foods — on menus or available on request. Enforcement is tightening across member states.

14 allergens must be declared in bold or highlighted text.

🇦🇺

Australia

February 25, 2026

PEAL (Plain English Allergen Labelling) transition ends February 2026. All food must comply with mandatory allergen labelling requirements. Restaurants must provide allergen information on request.

More jurisdictions updating allergen laws in 2026–2027.

Frequently asked questions

Everything restaurant owners ask before getting started with MenuLingo.

It can’t publish anything wrong without you. You review and confirm every allergen before anything goes live. The AI flags confidence scores so you know where to look closely — and nothing publishes until you approve it. That’s your legal protection.

MenuLingo creates a timestamped audit trail of every allergen you’ve reviewed and confirmed. That documented due diligence is what regs and courts look for. We can’t give legal advice, but we built the audit trail specifically for this purpose.

MenuLingo supports 99 languages covering every major tourism market — European languages (Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, and 20+ more), Asian languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil), Middle Eastern (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian), African (Swahili, Amharic, Zulu), and three English variants (AU, US, UK). All translations are AI-powered and culturally localised, not just word-for-word.

Our AI detects 16+ allergen categories including gluten, dairy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, fish, shellfish, sesame, mustard, celery, lupin, molluscs, and sulphites. Detection is jurisdiction-aware — it maps to Australian FSANZ, US FDA Big 9, and EU 14 allergen frameworks automatically.

No. MenuLingo is entirely web-based — no app download needed, for you or your diners. You manage your menu from any browser. Diners scan your QR code and see your menu instantly on their phone — no app required.

Diners use it — they scan the QR code themselves and filter their own allergies. Your staff don’t need to do anything new. The allergen briefing cards (printable, A4) are there if you want to train staff, but the diner-side flow is completely self-serve.

The Starter plan is $19.99/month. One returned meal costs $25–40. One prevented allergen incident is worth far more than that. Single-location restaurants are our most common customer.

Yes. The Pro plan supports up to 5 menus and the Business plan supports unlimited menus — perfect for multi-location restaurants, hotel groups, or franchise operators. Each location gets its own QR code and analytics.

Most restaurants are live with a QR code in under 10 minutes. Upload a photo of your menu or type dishes manually. AI handles allergens and translations. If you get stuck, we set up your first menu for you — free, no questions asked.

Diners scan your QR code with their phone camera — no app needed. They see your full menu in their preferred language, can filter by their allergies (e.g. show only nut-free dishes), and view detailed descriptions. All allergen filtering happens on their phone — no health data is ever sent to our servers.

Change anything — prices, dishes, specials — and every language regenerates automatically. Your QR code never changes. You never reprint. Seasonal specials, price changes, and sold-out items update in seconds.

MenuLingo is built for multi-jurisdiction compliance. It maps allergens to the EU 14 (Regulation 1169/2011), US FDA Big 9, and Australian FSANZ requirements. The owner-confirmed publishing gate and timestamped audit trail help demonstrate due diligence for any jurisdiction.

After your 14-day trial, you choose a plan. No credit card is taken during the trial, so nothing is charged automatically. If you don’t subscribe, your menu simply becomes unavailable — your data is preserved for 90 days in case you return.

Yes. MenuLingo offers multiple visual templates (default, modern, classic, elegant, and more). You can add your restaurant’s logo, colours, and branding. Pro and Business plans unlock all templates and custom branding options.
