This week’s punch list

Ranked by impact. Tick them off as you go.

1
Drop the dollar signs
Your menu prints “$24.00”. Removing the “$” and trailing “.00” reliably lifts average spend, because diners anchor less on cost.
+3 to 6% avg. spend

Describe your 6 top sellers
Six mains have no description. Adding sensory, provenance-led copy is the single biggest Language lever you have.
+1 to 2 items / table
↳ 6 of 47 items flagged
3
Re-price the Mushroom Risotto
At $26 you sit above the 75th percentile for risotto in Fitzroy. Peers cluster $22 to $24, so you may be leaving covers on the table.

FAQ

Good questions.

The things operators ask us before they upload.

It’s a single 0 to 100 read on how well your menu is working as a sales tool, rolled up from four sub-scores: Pricing (how your prices sit against local peers), Language (how appetising and descriptive your copy is), Structure (sections, ordering, item counts) and Inclusion (dietary and allergen clarity). Every point traces back to something specific in your menu.
We match your uploaded menu to your Google listing using the venue name and suburb you give us, and you confirm the candidate before anything runs. Peers are nearby venues of the same type within about 1.5 km, so you’re compared against the restaurants your diners are actually choosing between.
Your first audit is free and gives you the full score, sub-scores and punch list, with no card and no sign-up. There’s no catch: most operators fix two or three things and that pays for itself many times over. Deeper tooling (AI menu rewrites, item-level peer matching, tracking over time) is where we’ll earn our keep later.
Just your menu as a PDF, up to 20 pages. Photographed or scanned menus work too; we read the text and prices off the page. If your menu only lives on your website, paste the link and we’ll capture it.
Yes. Your menu is used to generate your audit and nothing else. We don’t sell it, we don’t share it with your competitors, and you can ask us to delete it at any time. Peer prices we show you are aggregated ranges, never another venue’s identifiable menu.
Every recommendation is grounded in your menu and your local cohort, ranked by impact, and carries a citation so you can judge it yourself. It’s advice, not autopilot, so you decide what to apply. Nothing changes on your menu unless you change it.
