Menu intelligence for restaurants

Your menu, in their language. Their demand, in your reports.

Guests ask freely. Gustu answers in their language and recommends dishes from your menu. You discover what your tables are looking for through aggregate reports.

Product

Easier choices at the table. Clearer demand on the dashboard.

One QR does two jobs. Guests say what they like and what they avoid, and find a dish that fits, with the reason. You see that demand as aggregate figures, never tied to a person.

Illustrative guest question

“I want something light. What would you recommend?”

Gustu knows your menu and explains why each dish fits. The guest can carry on with another question.

Conversations become aggregate insights. See which preferences stand out and which questions keep coming up.

For guests

A menu that fits each guest. Their language, their diet, their taste.

Gustu handles the questions your staff answer at every table, every night. Answers come from what your menu says, and it never invents what isn't there.

Illustrative English conversation · Guests can ask in their own language

Could you help me choose something light?

Of course. Tell me what you enjoy, and I’ll help you explore the lighter options on this menu.

Their own language, their own words.

Guests speak naturally in their own language. Gustu replies in that language, without a translation step or chat language settings.

  • “Which options are gluten-free?”
  • Gluten-free
  • Vegetarian
  • Vegan
  • Dairy-free
  • Nut-free
  • Halal

Matched to diet and allergens.

Gluten-free, vegan, a nut allergy: it picks out suitable dishes from the tags on your menu, and sends guests with serious allergies to confirm with the kitchen.

“Something spicy, but not too heavy.”

Spice
Sweetness
Main flavourFlavour notes

Recommendations by taste.

Light or hearty, spicy or sweet? It matches each dish's spice, sweetness and flavour details to how the guest describes what they want.

Why it fitsExample

Tagged gluten-free, light and good for sharing.

  • Something lighter
  • What goes with it?
  • A dessert

Every recommendation says why.

Each suggestion explains why it fits and offers dishes from your menu that go with it. The guest carries on with one tap.

Tap and speak

Guests can simply ask out loud.

Tap the microphone, say the question, read the answer. No typing at a busy table.

Only dishes from your menu
Anything that isn't

It stays inside your menu.

Answers come only from your menu. It never recommends a dish you don't serve or invents an ingredient.

For owners

What guests want, in numbers. Not who they are.

Conversations are sorted into topics and counted in aggregate; guests give no name, phone number or email. The weekly report shows which preferences are rising and which requests your menu can't meet.

  • Unmet demand

    What guests wanted that your menu doesn't offer, with how often it came up.

  • Preferences and diets

    Vegan, gluten-free, light, hearty: how often each preference comes in.

  • Menu interest map

    Which categories and dishes draw the most interest.

  • Peak hours

    When guests turn to the menu most.

  • From QR to conversation

    How many of the guests who scan go on to talk to the menu.

  • Weekly report

    Every Monday: a summary and a to-do list, also as a PDF.

Revenue

Undecided guests order less. Gustu helps them decide.

A guest who can't choose orders what they already know, or waits for a server. Gustu suggests a dish that fits, says why, and shows what goes with it. And you decide what to add to the menu from real demand, not guesswork.

Illustrative conversation
“What would go well with this dish?”

One question opens up another part of the menu. Gustu explains suitable pairings; the guest makes the choice.

  • What goes with it?

    Every recommendation comes with a matching dish or dessert from your menu. The add-on your staff forget on a busy night gets offered at every table.

  • Staff time goes to service

    Guests ask without waiting for a server, so your team spends less of the night explaining the menu table by table.

  • Visitors order with confidence

    Guests ask about unfamiliar dishes in their own language, understand the ingredients and flavours, and choose with confidence.

  • Missed demand shapes the menu

    What guests look for and can't find builds up in your report, so you know what the next dish should be.

We haven't measured the revenue effect yet. Once POS integration ships we'll count orders that came from a recommendation; until then, this page shows no revenue figure.

How it works

We do the setup. Your staff learn nothing new.

We take your menu, structure it and publish it with your logo and colours. With more than one branch, each branch's menu and QR codes are managed separately.

Send us your menu

Share your menu with us. We structure your dishes and prepare a menu that fits your brand; you approve it before it goes live.

QR codes on the tables

A QR is generated for every branch and table. Guests install nothing and sign up for nothing.

Roadmap

What we're building next. Not available yet.

Features we're developing with our pilot restaurants. We don't give dates; when they're ready, Founding Restaurants try them first.

Today

Menu assistance in the guest’s language and owner insights

Next steps

  1. In development

    Ordering and order tracking

    From choosing a dish to placing an order

    Guests order the dish they chose from the table; floor and kitchen follow each order's status on one screen.

  2. In development

    POS integration

    Bring your menu and operations into sync

    Menu, prices and stock stay in sync with your POS, so a sold-out dish is never recommended.

  3. In development

    AI reservation assistant

    A welcome in the guest's own language

    Reservation requests are handled in the guest's language and answered against your availability.

FAQ

What restaurant owners ask us.

What does Gustu actually do?
A guest scans the QR at the table, talks to your menu in their own language and finds dishes that suit their diet and taste, with the reasons. You see what guests look for, what they avoid and what your menu is missing, in aggregate reports.
Do guests need to download anything?
No. Scanning the QR opens the menu straight in the browser. No download, no account, no login.
Which languages does it understand?
Guests write in their own language, without configuring it first. Turkish, English and Russian each appeared in at least 10 conversations in the one-month pilot window.
How does it handle allergen questions?
It reads the allergen and dietary marks on your menu and says which dishes qualify. It gives no safety guarantee of its own, and sends guests with serious allergies to confirm with the kitchen.
What's in the reports?
Aggregate figures: how often each preference and diet comes up, unmet demand, a menu interest map, peak hours and how many scans turn into conversations. Every Monday brings a summary and a to-do list.
How do I upload my menu?
Share your menu with us. Our team structures it, prepares it with your branding and asks for your approval before publishing.
Will it increase my revenue?
We haven't measured that yet, so we don't quote a number. Gustu recommends dishes to undecided guests, shows what goes with them and tells you what your menu is missing. We'll measure orders that came from a recommendation directly once POS integration ships.
Does it integrate with my POS?
Not yet. POS integration is on our roadmap. Until it ships, Gustu doesn't connect to your POS; it runs alongside, on top of your menu.
Does it take orders or reservations?
Not yet. Order tracking and an AI reservation assistant are in progress. Today Gustu helps guests decide; orders are still taken the way you take them now.
What happens to guest data?
We take no name, phone number or email from guests at the table. The reports you see are aggregate figures, never per person. Our privacy notice sets out exactly what is processed and why.

Your guests will ask again tonight. Let Gustu answer. Keep the numbers.

Founding Restaurant places are limited. Try the live demo first; if it fits, apply and we'll do the setup.
