Introduction to MenuMate

MenuMate is designed as a culinary companion aimed at enhancing the dining experience by simplifying the process of choosing dishes from a restaurant menu. Its primary function revolves around analyzing menu images and providing dish suggestions based on the user's taste preferences, dietary restrictions, and allergies. Imagine being at a new restaurant, confronted with an extensive menu filled with unfamiliar dishes. Here, MenuMate steps in to offer guidance. By scanning the menu's image, it can highlight dishes that match your preferences, whether you're looking for something vegan, gluten-free, or simply craving a type of cuisine. It's engineered to facilitate quick, informed decisions, ensuring users can focus on enjoying their meal rather than navigating the menu's complexities.
