Menus, review replies, and staff tools are live today. Hotplate flash sales are coming soon — tap the card to read the roadmap.
Upload a photo or scan of your menu. The extractor returns structured dishes with names, descriptions, prices and categories — you review, edit, and publish.
We classify sentiment, summarize what the guest meant, and draft a warm, on-brand response. Edit it, send it — or remove a reply you already published.
We are building Hotplate flash sales for when the community timing is right. Today, onboarding is free: get listed, publish your menu from a photo, and use the review reply tools while we grow the foodie side.
Invite a manager, an owner, a line cook. They accept from email, the restaurant gets a credit bump, and you keep editorial control of who can post and reply.
We went from a PDF menu to a live digital menu in one afternoon. The drafted replies alone paid for the time we spent onboarding.
Drive traffic on demand
Give Omaha diners a crisp menu and fast replies today — and get ready for Hotplate drops that turn slow shifts into lines when the feature launches. Listing and core tools stay free.

Wallet math
Credits are stored in your restaurant wallet. Publishing a Hotplate uses 1 credit. Purchases are processed via Stripe.
| How you get credits | Amount |
|---|---|
| Restaurant created | +5 |
| Each staff member added (non-Owner) | +1 (max 10) |
| Purchase | +$N (at $20/credit) |
| Publish a Hotplate | −1 |
Example: New restaurant + 3 staff = 5 + 3 = 8 free credits → 8 Hotplates before buying more.
We are currently building our foodie community. To ensure your flash sales drive real traffic, Hotplate drops are gated. We are monitoring growth and will turn on the function as soon as the audience is large enough to make it worth your investment.
For most vendors, under 10 minutes. You upload a photo (even a paper menu or POS screenshot), the structure is extracted for you, you review and publish.
One published flash sale. You can cancel before publish without burning a credit. After publish, the credit is consumed regardless of how many claims you get. Each credit costs $20 when you buy more.
Every new restaurant gets 5 free credits ($100 value) in the wallet on signup. Each accepted staff invite (non-Owner) adds +1 credit, up to 10 bonus credits.
Yes. Invite owners, managers and staff. Roles gate who can publish a menu, approve a Hotplate, or reply to reviews. Every accepted staff invite earns the restaurant one credit (up to 10).
Trucks are first-class citizens. You get a movable map marker, live status (Serving / Closed / On the way) and the same menu tools. Hotplate drops are coming soon with the same playbook. Start at /for-restaurants/food-trucks.
We exclusively support locally owned and operated restaurants and food trucks. If you are a national chain, you cannot join the platform. We are here to keep local dollars in local kitchens.
No. Foodies don't order through us — they walk in. The vendor portal is free today. When Hotplate launches, credits are $20 each and only consumed when you publish a drop.
