(a)Description Writer: When You use the AI description writing feature, Your menu item data (name, category, existing description, modifiers, and pricing) is sent to the Anthropic Claude API.

(b)Dietary Tagger: When You use the dietary tagging feature, Your menu item data (name, description, ingredients if provided, and modifiers) is sent to the Anthropic Claude API. The AI model analyzes the data and suggests relevant dietary tags (e.g., vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, halal). These are suggestions only and require Your review and confirmation.
(c)Menu Analyzer: When You use the menu analysis feature, Your complete menu data (items, descriptions, categories, pricing, structure) is sent to the Anthropic Claude API for comprehensive analysis. The AI generates scores and recommendations across multiple dimensions. Analysis results are cached on Our servers for performance optimization.
