Terms of Service

These terms apply to the SpoonTip mobile app and this website, both operated by Menuagentic (“we”, “us”). By using either, you agree to them.

The service

SpoonTip translates photographs of restaurant menus and presents the result in a language you choose, along with dish explanations, allergen flags, and optional recommendations.

Translations and allergen information are not guaranteed

This is the most important thing on this page, so it is not buried at the bottom.

SpoonTip uses automated text recognition and machine translation. It will sometimes be wrong. It may misread handwriting, miss an item, mistranslate a regional term, or fail to identify an ingredient.

Do not rely on SpoonTip alone for allergen or dietary safety. Allergen flags are derived from the menu text and a general knowledge of dishes — not from the restaurant’s own kitchen. If you have a food allergy or intolerance that matters, confirm it with restaurant staff before you order. We are not liable for any reaction, illness, or harm arising from reliance on the app’s output.

Prices, currency conversions, and availability shown in the app come from the menu you photographed and may be out of date or incorrect. The restaurant’s own menu governs.

Your account and use

You do not need an account to use SpoonTip. If you sign in, you are responsible for keeping access to that account secure.

You agree not to:

• use the service to break the law;
• attempt to disrupt, overload, or reverse-engineer the service;
• scrape or bulk-extract the dish catalog; or
• upload photographs you do not have the right to photograph.

We may suspend access that does any of these.

Plans and payment

SpoonTip offers a free tier with a daily scan limit and a paid Premium subscription. Current prices are on the pricing page.

Premium is sold through the Apple App Store. Payment, renewal, and cancellation are handled by Apple under your Apple account settings, and Apple’s refund policy applies. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Cancelling stops the next renewal; access continues until the end of the paid period.

We may change prices. If we do, the change applies from your next renewal, and we will tell you before it takes effect.

Content you submit

Menu photographs you scan remain yours. You grant us permission to process them to provide the service — that is, to send them for text recognition and translation, and to return the result to you. We do not retain your photographs after processing.

The shared dish catalog, the app, and this website remain ours.

Availability

We do not promise the service will be uninterrupted or error-free. Scanning requires a network connection and depends on third-party services, which can fail. We may change or discontinue features.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, the service is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for any loss arising from reliance on translated menu content. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date above. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept it.
