FAQ

Common questions.

Does it work at any restaurant?

Yes. WhatToEat reads the actual menu photo you upload — it doesn't rely on a database. Any restaurant, anywhere in the world.

Do I need to download an app?

No. WhatToEat runs entirely in your browser. Open the page, scan your menu, done.

Can it filter for my allergies?

Yes. You can set dietary restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, no shellfish, no nuts, high protein) and add freeform allergy notes. These are applied to every scan.

Is it free?

Yes, WhatToEat is free to use. There is a daily scan limit to keep the service running.

How is this different from MyFitnessPal or MenuFit?

MyFitnessPal and MenuFit are macro-tracking apps that filter restaurants by nutrition goals. WhatToEat doesn't track macros — it reads the actual menu in front of you and picks the best dish for your mood and restrictions. It works at any restaurant, not just chains in a database.
