Find answers to the most common questions about PerfectPlate
PerfectPlate is the only app that analyzes 170,000+ restaurant menus to find meals perfectly matched to your dietary restrictions and macro goals. Whether you're keto, vegetarian, diabetic, or tracking protein—we instantly identify exactly what you can order before you even arrive.
Users set their dietary preferences, allergies, and macro goals in the app. PerfectPlate then analyzes restaurant menus to show you which restaurants have the most options for your specific diet and exactly which menu items match your preferences, complete with ingredient information and macro breakdowns.
PerfectPlate uses advanced AI to analyze menu descriptions, ingredients, and preparation methods to identify options that truly fit your dietary preferences. Our AI also powers daily meal generation, recipe customization, and the Platey assistant. However, as with any AI system, it's not always perfect and may occasionally make mistakes. We recommend double-checking recommendations, especially if you have serious allergies or specific dietary concerns.
