Sectoral food intelligence infrastructure

The AI Maître d'Hôtel
for your establishment.

iAlacarte transforms your menu into an intelligent conversational space: it welcomes, advises, translates, guides according to declared dietary constraints, explains nutrition, and recommends the best food, wine, and beverage 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 menu — with no manual entry.

Situational conversation

It doesn't just respond to the menu. It understands the customer's situation.

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.

🤰

Pregnancy

« 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. »

🏃

Athletic effort

« I just ran a half-marathon, what do you recommend? »

« For sports preparation, I would guide you to a digestible dish, rich in complex carbohydrates, with a light protein source and low in fats. I can rank dishes by sustainable energy, light digestion, or recovery. »

🍻

Hangover

« 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. »

🩺

Low sugar request

« 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. »

🥗

Strict diet

« Vegan, halal, gluten-free — what do you offer? »

Multi-constraint filtering in one request. Detection of hidden allergens and proposed substitutes.

🍷

Wine pairing

« What wine to pair with our ribeye steak? »

130,000+ WineMag references used: tannic/woody aromatic profile, vintage, terroir — house cellar suggestions.

AI photos & intelligent dish sheet

A visual menu, even without a photo shoot.

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 all subscriptions.

Nutrition, diets & public health

A guide to dietary orientation, never medical advice.

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.

  • Calories, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, sodium — calculated from the actual menu.
  • Estimated nutritional score according to the Nutri-Score methodology, based on declared ingredients and portions.
  • Allergens, diets, low sugar / sodium requests, gluten-free, vegetarian, non-alcoholic.
  • Positive reformulation: “fresh and light option” rather than “low calorie”.
  • Nutritional education, never medical advice — all sensitive responses are controlled responses.
  • Team confirmation recommended in case of sensitive constraints (severe allergy, pregnancy, strict medical diet).

Frequently asked questions

Everything restaurateurs and hoteliers ask us

Is iAlacarte just a QR menu?

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.

Can the AI invent a response?

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.

Does iAlacarte give medical advice?

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).

Are the dish photos real?

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.”

Does the system automatically change language?

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.

Is it suitable for hotels with multiple restaurants?

Yes. The Multi offer covers up to 3 service areas — for example, restaurant, bar, and room service, or gastronomic restaurant, brasserie, and breakfast. Additional areas can be added as an option (+29 €/month per additional outlet). For hotel groups and multi-site chains, the Enterprise offer is on request.

Can I keep control of sensitive information?

Yes. Your establishment can verify, correct, and validate sensitive information before publication: detected allergens, dish descriptions, identified ingredients, and AI recommendations. Human validation remains possible at any time via your dashboard, and any modification is tracked.

How does the estimated nutritional score work?

iAlacarte applies the Nutri-Score methodology to ingredients and portions declared by the restaurateur, relying on ANSES/CIQUAL, USDA, and FAO/INFOODS tables. The result is an informative estimation, not an official certification in the regulatory Nutri-Score sense. Actual values may differ depending on preparation and served portions. Detail: Restaurant Nutri-Score.

What are the add-ons?

All AI intelligence is included from the first plan. Add-ons cover only operational needs: ordering module, custom QR codes and premium prints, additional outlets (+29 €/month beyond the 3 included in Multi), and POS/PMS integrations on request. See: pricing.
