What you get

A serious dataset. Also pleasant to integrate against.

Self-serve from $0

Sign up, generate a key, start calling. No sales call, no NDA, no procurement loop. Free tier with 1,000 requests / month — real data, real keys.

First-party verified tier

data_tier=primary returns operator-published menu data, not aggregator-curated. Higher signal, fewer inaccuracies, defensible provenance for AI training and quantitative research.

Predictable errors

Every error has a structured envelope, a request_id, a docs link, and a useful message. The 429 quota response tells you exactly when the window resets.

Chain coverage

Top 25 publicly-traded restaurant tickers mapped at the entity level. Track CMG, MCD, SHAK, WING and more across regions, with the chain-to-corporate-parent layer pre-built.

Numbers

The pipeline behind the API is real and refreshed daily.

Multi-source US restaurant menu data, normalized and verified. The API is fast because the pipeline behind it is real — daily refresh, monitored sourcing, methodology documented per source tier.
