Behind every result

More than a menu scan. It helps you choose with honesty.

Every dish is checked using structured ingredient data, not simple keyword searches. When we know, we'll tell you. When we don't, we'll tell you that too.

Catches what menus don't say

Caesar has anchovies. Pad Thai has peanuts. Miso has soy. AlignEat identifies what isn't explicitly listed on the menu.

Thinks about the kitchen, not just the plate

Shared fryer oil. Reused cutting boards. The same pan for different sauces. AlignEat flags preparation risks that go beyond the ingredient list.

A mild lactose intolerance isn't the same as a peanut allergy. AlignEat adapts every result to your personal needs.

How does the menu scan actually work?

Point your camera at any menu — printed, handwritten, QR or PDF, in any language. AlignEat reads every line through a curated, nutritionist-verified ingredient database and an AI analyzer, then matches each dish against your dietary profile in seconds.

What do the four results mean?

Every dish resolves to exactly one of four states. Compatible: it fits your profile as served. Adaptable: it works with a small change, and we suggest what to ask the chef. Couldn't confirm: the menu doesn't say enough for a safe call. Avoid: it conflicts with your needs.

What happens when a menu doesn't list every ingredient?

We never guess. Missing information always means "Couldn't confirm" — never "Compatible". The dish gets a one-line question, translated into the local language, that you can show the kitchen before you order.

Can one profile cover allergies, faith and a diet at the same time?

Yes. Your Dietary ID combines allergies and intolerances, religious and ethical rules, health goals and plain dislikes in one profile. Dining as a group, each person keeps their own profile and the strictest need always wins.

Does it work abroad and without signal?

Yes. AlignEat reads menus in any language, translates between you and the kitchen in 30+ languages, and core scanning works offline — so a beach cabana with no signal is still a scannable menu.
