Field notes
The described flow starts with a camera pointed at a menu, then compares its wording with filters such as keto, dairy-free, or shellfish allergy. The site says processing happens on the phone, allowing use without a signal and keeping photos there. It also states a concrete limitation—roughly one in eight dishes that should be flagged are missed—and directs allergy users to confirm with restaurant staff.
