Restaurant Menu Engineering AI

A quantitative menu analysis tool for restaurant owners, bar managers, food truck operators, and cafe owners.

What it does

This AI skill analyzes your menu data and produces:

• Profitability Matrix – classifies each dish as Star, Plowhorse, Puzzle, or Dog based on contribution margin and popularity.
• Strategic Recommendations – tells you which dishes to keep, reprice, promote, or remove, with quantitative justification.
• Menu Structure Analysis – flags if the menu is too long, suggests consolidation, and checks section coherence.
• 5 Dish Description Rewrites – appetizing but factual, using only the ingredients you provide.
• Optimization Summary – top 3 dishes to highlight, bottom 3 to fix or remove.

How to use it

Provide your menu data in a structured format. You can paste a list of dishes with:

• Dish name
• Selling price
• Food cost
• Sales quantity or popularity rating (optional but recommended)

Example:

{
  "restaurant_name": "Bella's Restaurant",
  "currency": "USD",
  "dishes": [
    {
      "name": "Grilled Chicken",
      "price": 16.00,
      "cost": 5.50,
      "sales_quantity": 120
    },
    {
      "name": "Caesar Salad",
      "price": 9.00,
      "cost": 2.80,
      "sales_quantity": 200
    }
  ]
}
