Instant menu updates

The AI changes item availability in real time. Your customers see the changes on their mobile ordering screens right away.

  2. Locate the menu

    It finds the specific menu associated with your chosen location.

  3. Find the item

    The agent scans the menu to find the exact item you want to mark as sold out.
