Problem
Households, assisted living facilities, schools, and other group dining settings must coordinate meals for individuals with diverse allergies, medical diets, texture needs, and cultural preferences. Traditional meal‑planning tools are designed for single users and require manual cross‑checking, leading to unsafe meals, excessive kitchen workload, and exclusion of people with restrictions from shared tables.
Solution
MagicMenu is an AI‑driven meal‑planning platform that centralizes dietary profiles for every person in a group and automatically generates menus that satisfy all constraints. Users create individual profiles capturing allergies, medical diets, texture requirements, and preferences; the system then filters a library of 3,200+ recipes to surface only compliant options. For each selected dish, MagicMenu cross‑checks every ingredient against every profile, flags conflicts, and produces variant recipes where needed. The platform provides a unified dashboard for planning, verification, and cooking, generating production sheets and per‑person tray cards to guide kitchen staff. By maintaining a single source of truth, MagicMenu eliminates manual spreadsheet work, ensures safety, and enables inclusive dining for any group size.
Target Audience
Primary customers are households with multiple dietary restrictions and care facilities (assisted living, nursing homes, schools, camps) that need to plan safe, inclusive meals for groups ranging from a few individuals to several hundred residents.
