MenuCheck AI uses a multi-factor approach to calculate dietary confidence scores. We combine official certifications, AI-powered menu analysis, and community verification to give you the most accurate picture of a restaurant's suitability for your halal, kosher, vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free needs.
Restaurants with verified halal or kosher certifications from recognized authorities receive a strong increase to their score. We verify certification status where possible and display certification badges on restaurant profiles.
Our system analyzes restaurant menus, descriptions, and online claims using AI. For halal, we look for pork, alcohol, and cross-contamination risks. For vegan and vegetarian, we assess whether the kitchen is fully plant-based or offers dedicated options. This analysis contributes to the overall confidence score.
Users who have visited a restaurant can answer short surveys about its dietary practices. Questions cover topics like separate cooking areas, shared equipment, and how certifications are displayed. Survey responses are aggregated to refine the score. Learn more about how it works.
Scores are accompanied by risk levels: Low, Medium, or High. Low risk means the restaurant is likely suitable for your dietary type. High risk indicates potential concerns such as shared equipment or unverified claims. We surface these factors so you can make an informed decision.
Scores are updated as new data becomes available — new certifications, menu changes, or community feedback. We aim to keep our information as current and accurate as possible across cities like New York, London, and Istanbul.
