iAlacarte turns your menu into an intelligent conversational space: it welcomes, advises, answers in the guest's language, guides according to declared dietary constraints, explains nutrition and recommends the best food, wine and drink pairings.
Available in 27 languages, tailored to your establishment's tone. Your guests access it from their smartphone by scanning the QR code at their table. Deployed from a photo, a PDF, or a Word or Excel file — with no manual entry.
iAlacarte cross-references the actual menu, ingredients, allergens, nutritional information, food scores, preferences, declared constraints, and the establishment's tone to provide a useful, cautious, and contextualized response.
« I'm 6 months pregnant, what are the safest options? »
« I highlight dishes that may require special caution — alcohol, sensitive raw products, certain cooking methods or ingredients to confirm — then suggest generally safer options, with a recommendation to validate with the team. »
« I just ran a half-marathon, what do you recommend? »
“For sports preparation I would point you to a digestible dish, rich in complex carbohydrates, with a light source of protein and little fat. I can also rank dishes by measured protein, or by your goals: Anti-fatigue, Digestive comfort.”
« I partied last night, I have a hangover — complete meal? »
« I would guide you to a light, savory, and hydrating, non-alcoholic option. Favor a simple, low-fat dish with a fresh or sparkling drink. Avoid cocktails today. »
« I'm diabetic, what desserts can I have? »
« I would guide you to low-sugar options. This option seems one of the most coherent given your request. In case of a strict medical diet, confirm with the establishment's team. »
« Vegan, halal, gluten-free — what do you offer? »
Multi-constraint filtering in one request. Detection of hidden allergens and proposed substitutes.
« What wine to pair with our ribeye steak? »
Close to 130,000 WineMag references: aromatic profile, tannins, oak, appellation — the suggestions come from your own cellar.
iAlacarte can automatically generate indicative visuals for each dish to make your menu more immersive, understandable, and attractive from day one. The restaurateur can replace these images at any time with their own photos. AI dish illustrations are included in the Solo, Multi and Group plans.

Connected to authoritative nutritional references (ANSES/CIQUAL, USDA, FAO/INFOODS), iAlacarte helps your clients understand intake, compare options, and make choices better suited to their declared constraints. The system does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace a healthcare professional.
Estimated Sodium: 2.2 g Nutritional values estimated from declared ingredients.
C: good protein content, but the recipe's estimated salt content (cheese, sauce) weighs on the grade.
Indicative estimationScore computed with the public Nutri-Score method, from the recipe and an estimated portion, for information only. It is not the official Nutri-Score, which is reserved for packaged products.
Conversational pairings by aromatic profile, not by price. The engine draws on close to 130,000 WineMag references for wines and a verified reference of classic cocktails (IBA recipes) for cocktails.
Pairings by grape variety, appellation and wine structure — tannins, acidity, body, oak — aromatic notes before stars.
Classic recipes referenced by IBA, detection of risky components (raw egg, sulfites).
Mocktails, teas, infusions, and pressed juices — suitable for pregnancy, sports, chosen sobriety.
Meal + drink adapted to low sugar, low sodium requests, or other declared constraints.
“For the rib of beef, a structured red: our Chianti Classico, firm tannins, cherry and forest-floor notes, stands up to the meat.”
Automatic detection of the guest's language (text or voice), including mid-conversation. The gastronomic vocabulary is rendered accurately, not word for word; grape and appellation names stay as they are.
The persona follows the type of venue: maître d'hôtel, sommelier, barista, pizzaiolo, bar team or dining-room team. You choose the tone, from starred palace to neighbourhood brasserie.
I would guide you to a light, savory, and hydrating, non-alcoholic option. This suggestion seems one of the most coherent given your request — in case of a strict medical diet, confirm with the establishment's team.

Deploy a virtual Maître d'Hôtel in a few minutes. The AI welcomes in 27 languages, guides your guests through your menu and composes coherent starter, main and dessert menus.
Restaurant, bar, room service, breakfast: each outlet has its own menu, tone and QR code, and the hotel a landing page that brings them together. The room service menu can be browsed from the room, in 27 languages, without order-taking.
Activate a virtual sommelier at every table: aromatic profiles of your wines, classic cocktails described from a verified reference, alcohol-free alternatives — by the glass or by the bottle.
Manage your complex structures with ease. Deploy an AI Maître d'Hôtel per corner, outlet, or franchised establishment, with a dedicated access point and centralized supervision through manager access.
Enter your venue's identity and opening hours. Choose your venue type and the tone (classic, warm, premium, playful, minimal or automatic): the AI adopts the right persona (maître d'hôtel, sommelier, barista, pizzaiolo…).
Drag and drop your menus (PDF, Word, Excel, photos). In a few minutes, our engine does what no team keys in by hand: reading the menu, the ingredients of each dish, allergens according to the INCO list plus buckwheat, estimated nutritional values, 27 languages. Your teams no longer type anything.
Check the menu as your guests see it, in all 27 languages: the assistant's answers, dish sheets, allergens. Correct a dish or a section title from your dashboard.
The QR code, web app, or voice become access points to your AI Maître d'Hôtel. The physical support remains stable, while your data remains dynamic and reanalyzable at any time from your dashboard.
From the paper menu to the AI advisor in 27 languages: seven minutes of analysis for 253 dishes and drinks, then the languages open one by one, yours first. No training, no manual allergen entry, no call to a provider.

No. The QR code is just an access channel. iAlacarte is a conversational AI Maître d'Hôtel that advises clients based on the actual menu, their language, preferences, declared dietary constraints, and your establishment's tone. The same intelligence is also accessible via web or voice.
iAlacarte relies on structured data, the actual establishment's menu, authoritative references, and anti-hallucination safeguards. Sensitive responses are designed to remain cautious, and the establishment retains control over published information.
No. iAlacarte provides dietary orientation assistance and nutritional information. It does not diagnose, prescribe any treatment, or replace a healthcare professional. In case of severe allergy, pregnancy, pathology, or strict medical diet, the client must confirm with the establishment's team (see T&Cs Article 4).
By default, iAlacarte can generate indicative images to illustrate dishes. The restaurateur can replace them with their own photos at any time, without limit, at no cost. Generated images are presented as indicative: “Indicative image generated to illustrate the dish. The served visual may differ.”
Yes. iAlacarte detects the client's language (text or voice), switches the interface accordingly, and maintains an adapted conversation in the chosen language. 27 languages are supported with gastronomic quality tested on major tourist languages.
Yes. A hotel often has several outlets: restaurant, bar, room service, breakfast. Each has its own menu, link and tone, and the hotel a landing page that brings them together. The Multi offer covers one venue and its outlets, within the limit shown on its card; hotel groups and chains fall under the Group offer.
Yes. From your dashboard you check and correct what the analysis produced: identified ingredients, detected allergens, dish descriptions, the usual components of a sauce or a dough, section titles. Your corrections are kept and survive re-analyses of the menu.
iAlacarte computes an estimated nutritional score with the public Nutri-Score method, from the ingredients and portions declared by the restaurateur and the ANSES/CIQUAL, USDA and FAO/INFOODS tables. It is an informative estimate, not the official Nutri-Score, which is reserved for packaged products. Actual values may differ depending on preparation and served portions.
No. All AI intelligence is included from the first offer and the offers have no hidden options: what each one includes is shown on its card. Details: pricing.
Two ways to start. No commitment: you first see what iAlacarte does with your own menu, then we discuss deployment.
