From menu to food log
Four steps, before the food arrives.
-
01 · Capture
Photograph the menu
Keep the menu flat, well lit, and close enough for dish names and descriptions to be readable. Scan another section if the menu spans multiple pages.
-
02 · Estimate
Review the detected dishes
Trayly uses the available menu text to estimate calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, and ingredients for the dishes it can read.
-
03 · Compare
See what fits your goals
Compare options side by side instead of judging a dish by its name alone. Your daily calorie and macro targets provide context for the choice.
-
04 · Track
Save the meal you order
Check the estimate, adjust anything you know is different, and add the selected dish to your day without rebuilding it ingredient by ingredient.
More than a menu scan
Other Trayly features pick up where the menu stops.
Menu scanning is one way into the same food log. Use the input that matches the meal and keep all of your nutrition progress together.
Log by photo or text
Photograph the served plate or describe a customized dish when the printed menu does not tell the whole story.
Compare dishes
Use calories, macros, a clear health score, and your personal targets to compare options before ordering.
Follow daily progress
Keep restaurant meals, everyday food, weight, and optional Apple Health data connected to the same goals.
What the estimate means
A menu gives useful clues, not exact nutrition.
Dish names and descriptions rarely reveal exact portions, cooking fats, sauces, or recipe changes. Trayly estimates nutrition from the information it can read and lets you review the result before saving. For allergies, medical conditions, or dietary decisions, rely on official restaurant information and professional advice rather than an AI estimate alone.

What does the Trayly restaurant menu scanner do?
Take a clear photo of a restaurant menu and Trayly uses the visible dish names and descriptions to create calorie and macro estimates you can review, compare, and add to your food log. -
Are calories from a scanned menu exact?
No. A menu rarely lists exact portions, cooking fats, sauces, or every ingredient. Trayly provides an estimate based on the available menu information, so check and adjust it before saving. -
Can I scan a menu if the restaurant is not already in Trayly?
Yes. Menu scanning is useful when a restaurant or current menu is not available through restaurant search. A clear, well-lit photo with readable dish names and descriptions gives Trayly better information to work with. -
Should I scan the menu or photograph my meal?
Scan the menu when you want to compare dishes before ordering. Photograph the served meal when you need to log what arrived or account for visible changes. Both methods produce estimates that should be reviewed. -
Is restaurant menu scanning free?
Trayly is free to download with optional in-app purchases. Restaurant menu scanning is an AI-assisted analysis feature and requires Trayly Pro.
