Clearplate reads any restaurant menu and triages it against your allergen profile, labeling each dish hard avoid, looks promising, or not enough info, so you can scan the whole menu fast. Tap any dish to investigate it: Clearplate predicts the likely ingredients, flags the ones that match your allergens, and shows you why.

Clearplate focuses on the Top 9 today, which covers the allergens behind most reactions. We're working to expand coverage over time. If there's an allergen you'd like supported, email info@clearplateapp.com and let us know.

Yes. Clearplate reads any menu, including ones nobody has reviewed. It doesn't depend on other diners having been there first.

Clearplate is an iPhone app, available on the App Store for users in the United States and Canada.

Clearplate draws on a large repository of recipe and ingredient data to predict the likely ingredients in a dish, then checks them against your profile. Predictions can be very accurate, but a dish is made differently from one restaurant to the next, so Clearplate shows how confident it is and always asks you to confirm with your server.

No. Clearplate flags the conflicts it can stand behind and shows its reasoning. Even a "looks promising" dish is one to investigate, not a guarantee. Always confirm with your server before ordering.

When you scan a menu, each dish is labeled so you can triage fast: hard avoid (a conflict to rule out), looks promising (worth a closer look, not "safe"), or not enough info (look closer before deciding).

Clearplate found a trustworthy conflict for that dish, like the menu naming your allergen or an ingredient that contains it. It's not the same as a confirmed medical conclusion, so still confirm with your server.

When a dish description is too short or ambiguous for a confident read, Clearplate labels it not enough info rather than guessing. That's your cue to tap in and investigate, or ask your server.
