About MindMeal
Know the food before you go.
MindMeal shows every dish on a restaurant’s menu, what it costs and what the menu says is in it, so you can choose where to eat before you walk in. We’re starting in Barcelona.

People use it on mindmeal.net, through a table’s QR code, or by asking Claude or ChatGPT, which read MindMeal’s menus once it’s added as a connector.
Allergens: only what the menu says
A dish shows an allergen only when its menu states it, in the menu’s own words. If the menu doesn’t say, we show “not stated”, never a guess from the ingredients or the dish’s name. If you have an allergy, tell the restaurant before you order.
For diners
- Search every menu at once: “croquetas”, “paella under €20”, “vegan near Plaça Reial”.
- See it on the map, around you or in a neighbourhood.
- Ask your AI assistant: add MindMeal to Claude or ChatGPT once, then ask in your own words.
For restaurants
Your menu may already be here, read from the one you publish. Claiming it is free, and your first month is Pro.
- Pro, a monthly plan: you change your menu and photos yourself, see how diners find your dishes, print QR codes for your tables and window, and show your own description, opening hours and the date you last confirmed your menu.
- Free: your page and your QR codes stay, and we keep your menu current when you tell us what changed.
We check it’s really yours first: by your restaurant’s email, or a photo of a code.

Your guests ask you where to eat. Give them a page of your own, mindmeal.net/p/your-name, with a search, “near me” and how to add MindMeal to their assistant, and flyers with its QR code to print. We count the visitors your code brings, and nothing about who they are.
Orange Fox, bike rental and tours in Barcelona, already gives its guests one: mindmeal.net/p/orange-fox.
For investors
The problem. In a city you don’t know, choosing where to eat is a guess: a photo of a door, a score out of five, a menu in a language you don’t read.
Why now. People plan trips with AI assistants, and Claude and ChatGPT can now read outside sources through connectors (MCP). MindMeal is one: real menus, dish by dish, for an assistant to answer from instead of guessing.
How it earns. Restaurants claim their page for free, with a first month of Pro; then Pro, a monthly plan, to change their own menu and photos, see their analytics and show their own page.
Where it stands. 669 restaurants and 49,339 dishes in Barcelona. It works inside Claude and ChatGPT today. Google and Meta ads are running, and Orange Fox, a bike rental and tours company, sends its guests to its own MindMeal page.

“Abroad, I often couldn't read the menu, or it had no prices, so choosing where to eat was a guess. MindMeal is what I wanted then.”
