Things to ask
- “How was my menu doing this month? Which sections do people read and which dishes do they never open?”
- “Which languages do my guests open the menu in?”
- “What sold best in the last 30 days, at which tables and at which hours?”
- “How fast did we answer waiter calls last week, and which tables call the most?”
- “Raise every dessert by 50 cents and mark the sea bass sold out.”
- “Add a Lunch specials section with three dishes and translate them. We are closed on 25 December.”
- “Design a Christmas Eve menu for 24 December in the style of my menu, keep my Drinks section, put it in the system and give me its link.”
What the assistant can do
Read
- Menu analytics: sessions, time per section, dishes tapped and dishes ignored
- The languages guests open the menu in
- Listing views and phone, website, booking and map clicks
- Orders: totals, best sellers, tables, weekdays and hours
- Waiter calls: what, where, how fast they were answered
- Reviews, venue details, the menu itself
Change
- Prices, sold-out dishes, price variants and options
- New dishes and sections, renaming, reordering, removing a dish
- Dietary tags, allergens, dish and section schedules
- Venue description, highlights, phone, website, email
- Weekly opening hours and special days (closed today, holiday hours)
- Menus for an occasion: a Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve menu, a weekly brunch, designed in your style, with its own page
Translations are done by your assistant
Menus on MENU are shown in 54 languages. Whenever the assistant writes or changes a text diners read, it supplies that text in every language in the same step, so the change is complete the moment it is saved. Prices, availability and hours need no translation.
What it cannot do
Orders are read only: the assistant can see them but never place, accept or cancel one. Payments, team members, integrations and deleting a venue stay on the dashboard.
Data and privacy
What we receive. When your assistant calls the server we receive the name of the tool and its inputs (for example a dish id and a new price), together with your signed-in account and the name of the AI app. We never receive your conversation with the assistant.
What we return. Your own venue's data: its menu, anonymous menu and listing statistics, orders without guests' names or contact details, waiter calls by table, and reviews with the reviewer's first name as shown publicly.
What we record. Every call is logged with the account, the AI app, the tool, its inputs (translations reduced to their language codes) and the outcome, so your team can see what the assistant did. The log is shown on your dashboard and deleted after 180 days. Changes made by the assistant are ordinary changes to your venue and are kept like any other.
Who else receives it. The AI app you connected (Anthropic, OpenAI or another provider) handles your conversation under its own policy. We do not sell this data or use it for advertising.
Your controls. Disconnect an app at any time under Dashboard → AI assistants; its access ends immediately. Access also ends when you change your password or when the sign-in expires. For questions or to request a copy or deletion of your data, write to info@menu.lc.
