Frequently Asked Questions
Menu Brain AI enriches every dish with comprehensive nutrition data: calories, macronutrients (protein, carbs, fat), and micronutrients (fiber, sodium, sugar, vitamins). Each value includes a confidence score (70-95%) and is clearly marked as 'AI-estimated' to maintain transparency with customers.
Menu Brain isn't just for display - it's the intelligence layer across your entire DirectOrders system. It powers NLP search ('show me something healthy under $15'), smart cart suggestions, Voice AI dietary responses, and even AI chatbot answers. One brain, every channel.
Menu Brain uses AI analysis of ingredients, cooking methods, and portion sizes to estimate nutrition. Accuracy ranges from 70-95% depending on dish complexity. We display confidence scores so customers know the reliability level. For exact values, you can override with your own data.
Yes. Menu Brain analyzes dish names, descriptions, and ingredients to detect common allergens: gluten, dairy, nuts, shellfish, eggs, soy, and sesame. It also identifies dietary categories like vegetarian, vegan, keto, and paleo. All detections include confidence scores and can be manually verified.
Menu Brain's calorie estimates typically fall within 70-95% accuracy depending on dish complexity. Simple dishes like grilled chicken breast score higher, while complex multi-ingredient items may have wider ranges. Every estimate includes a visible confidence score so customers can judge reliability. For dishes where precision matters most, you can override the AI estimate with your own verified data at any time.
Absolutely. Menu Brain is designed to save you time, not take away control. Every AI-generated value (calories, macros, allergen flags, dietary tags) can be manually overridden in your dashboard. Once you override a value, Menu Brain marks it as 'verified' instead of 'AI-estimated,' giving your customers even more confidence. Your overrides are preserved even when Menu Brain re-analyzes items after menu updates.
Yes. If your POS is integrated with DirectOrders, Menu Brain pulls your items directly from your POS catalog and enriches them automatically. You can also upload a PDF, photos of your printed menu, or a spreadsheet. Menu Brain's AI extracts items, descriptions, and prices from any format. No matter how your menu gets into the system, the AI enrichment process is the same.
NLP (Natural Language Processing) search lets your customers type queries the way they naturally speak instead of browsing rigid categories. A customer can type 'something spicy under $15,' 'healthy low-carb options,' or even misspelled queries like 'chiken parmsan' and Menu Brain instantly returns matching dishes. The search engine understands synonyms, dietary terminology, price filters, and conversational phrasing. It processes 95% of queries in under 10 milliseconds.
