Toast Menu Checker

Toast Menu Checker is a free, AI-powered tool that analyzes a restaurant menu and delivers a custom report with findings on menu structure, language, pricing presentation, and seasonality. Users can submit a menu by URL, PDF, or photo. The analysis uses menu content alongside Toast research and expertise and reference sources such as USDA seasonal produce data and FDA allergen data. Findings are based on menu content and reference sources, not sales, POS, or customer data, and do not predict the revenue effects of menu changes.
