We've built an AI-powered API service for transforming JPGs or PDFs of restaurant menus into structured, machine readable JSON or CSV files. All structural elements like e.g. items & prices are detected & returned with the corresponding text. Try it out!
I know first hand how much effort you must have put into building this kindof thing.
For those less familiar, maybe you could share some ways people could use this kind of tool?
Hi @bvknobloch, this seems really cool. Can we expect some kind of free trial/free demo any time soon?

We've started building this technology as we saw that there is no solution out there tackling this problem. We could not understand, that with the current status of ML/AI technologies, there is no solution for delivery services, POS vendors etc. for inputting a menu into their systems - other than manually transcribing!
Other than current OCR services, we have trained our machine to detect the structures like sections, items, prices on images of restaurant menus. Meaning, by sending us images of menus to our API, our customers would not only receive back the extracted plain text (as OCR services would do) but also the information what structural element the text is (e.g. price: 5.90, currency: USD).
@bvknobloch very nice app and service but when I try to upload it says only pdf are allowed? I have a jpg file of a menu

@youssef_kh no worries, just send it to me benedikt@fedger.io
Our API can handle both, the online form not. Will check & adapt.

Absolutely! Having access to structured data would make tracking and comparing menu items across locations so much easier. Speaking of which, if you're diving into Shake Shack info, this page might come in handy for exploring their location

Could you clarify what you mean by "Restaurant Menu Extraction"? Are you referring to extracting menu data from a website, an image, or a database? Let me know so I can provide the best insights! 😊

Very cool - how would I go about getting an API key to have a play?

That sounds like a game-changer for anyone dealing with restaurant data! I was just looking at Shake Shack’s Menu the other day, and having an API to quickly pull structured data on their burgers, shakes, and prices would be super useful. Definitely curious to see how well it handles complex layouts!
