Your competitors' prices are scattered across dozens of menus, and comparable dishes appear under different names, sizes and formats. Checking a few helps — it just can't show you where your whole menu sits.
- Menus you can reada few nearby
- Dishes you can comparethe obvious like-for-like
- How oftenoccasional spot checks
That is a sensible use of your time, and it answers a few questions well. It just leaves most of the menu unchecked.
- Current menus to readdozens
- Listed prices to compare1,600+ in one real scan
- Matching equivalentsacross names, sizes & formats
That is not a reasonable manual task for anyone running a kitchen. Which is why most menus have never been checked in full.
Pricing exposure has no alarm bell. An item sitting well below its local band earns less on every order; one sitting well above stands out to anyone comparing. Neither shows up in your numbers as a pricing problem — you only see it if you look.
A few minutes from name to verdict
Search your restaurant
Name and location. No signup, no menu upload, no POS access — we work entirely from public data.
We read real posted menus
MenuBench finds the public menus around you, extracts their listed prices, and matches comparable dishes — typically 1,500+ prices across ~35 venues. It takes a few minutes, and you watch it happen live.
You get verdicts with receipts
Every dish stamped against its verified local equivalents, with the evidence behind each comparison. Where the evidence is insufficient, MenuBench says so explicitly rather than guessing.
Verdicts you can check, not scores you have to trust
We don't tell you to raise prices everywhere. We show you, item by item, where your menu actually sits — with the evidence attached.
Item-by-item market position
Every item on your menu gets a stamp: above market, below market, aligned — or "not enough evidence." We grade what we can verify and say so when we can't.
Evidence and source menus
Every verdict lists the peer dishes behind it, and every price opens the posted menu photo it was read from. Check any claim yourself.
Additional menu observations
Beyond position: extras you include free that nearby venues charge for, and other patterns across the menus we read.
Each dish on its local band
See where your price sits against the verified band of true local equivalents — drawn from the actual peers, not category averages.
Inconsistent price detection
When your own public menus disagree with each other, customers see the confusion before you do. The report flags every conflict.
The evidence map
Every venue that contributed evidence, mapped around you — so you can see whose menus your benchmark actually rests on.

Fair questions
Where do the prices come from?›
From publicly posted menus — menu photos and listings your neighborhood venues have already published. We read them with vision AI and keep the source photo attached to every price. Nothing comes from behind logins, and nothing is estimated.
Are these estimates or real prices?›
Real prices, every one traceable to the posted menu photo it was read from. When an item doesn’t have enough verified local evidence for a claim, the report says "not enough evidence" instead of guessing — that line exists so you can trust the lines that do carry a verdict.
What do I get free, and what costs $25?›
The free scan reads your entire menu, stamps every item, and unlocks two verified findings with complete evidence. The full report — a $25 one-time purchase — opens every remaining verified verdict with its magnitude, evidence ledger, and source photos.
Is this a subscription?›
No. The full report is a one-time $25 purchase. No recurring charge, nothing to cancel.
What if the menu data for my restaurant is out of date?›
The scan reads what’s publicly posted — which is also what your customers and neighbors see. If something looks wrong in your report, there’s a one-click way to flag it on the report itself.
How do you decide which dishes are comparable?›
Two ways, and the report always says which applied. A direct equivalent is the same product under a different name — your quesadilla against their quesadilla. A pricing-family peer is the same product family when no exact match is posted nearby, which reads as the shape of the local market rather than a like-for-like verdict. Both are subject to evidence rules, and every verified finding lists the specific dishes, venues and prices behind it, so you can judge the comparison yourself.
What happens when there aren’t enough comparable items?›
We don’t force a benchmark. The item is marked "not enough evidence" and receives no verdict. Only items with sufficient comparable local evidence get a verified market position — which is what makes the ones that do carry a verdict worth acting on.
Does it work for my city?›
It works anywhere enough venues post their menus publicly — which covers most urban and suburban neighborhoods. The scan is free, so the honest answer is: run it and see. If we can’t find enough evidence, we tell you that instead of inventing a report.
Pricing exposure doesn't announce itself. It just sits there, order after order.
A few minutes, no signup, and you'll see where your menu sits.
