A cook’s AI-powered iPhone assistant for learning a restaurant menu and checking kitchen details by voice.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-15 issue.

For: New cooks learning a restaurant menu
Worth noticing: Its source material spans kitchen build boards, wall sheets, binders, staff knowledge, and customer-facing product descriptions.

Field notes

Menu information is consolidated from kitchen build boards, wall sheets, binders, staff knowledge, and the customer-facing product site. The described iPhone workflow uses Apple’s on-device speech recognition to turn a spoken question into text, sends it to Claude with a master menu, then reads the response through a Bluetooth headset; quiz exercises are also described. The creator reports using Haiku, estimates each question at about $0.0004, and says the app was built over a weekend.
