ClearDish connects to your menu and POS, then gives every diner a real-time allergen and dietary check — by QR code, no app download needed.
Today's diners aren't just hungry — they're informed, intentional, and loyal to restaurants that take their needs seriously. They're managing allergies, following dietary laws, taking medications, and eating cleaner than ever before.
The problem isn't demand. It's that most restaurants aren't equipped to answer the question — not because they don't care, but because staff turn over, menus change, and suppliers don't send warning notices.
The restaurants that solve this don't just avoid problems. They earn a diner for life. ClearDish gives you the tools to be that restaurant — for every guest, every shift.
Worth knowing: the liability side
50% of food allergy incidents happen in restaurants. One undisclosed allergen can result in a claim that costs more than years of revenue. ClearDish protects you there too — but the bigger win is the diners you gain, not just the problems you avoid.
ClearDish sits between your menu and your diners. No new hardware, no app for customers to download, no extra work for your staff.
ClearDish is the only platform that covers allergens, medications, and religious dietary law in a single check.
Every other tool was built for chains with compliance teams. ClearDish is built for the owner who's also the manager, the chef, and the one answering allergy questions at table 7.

The gap in the market: EveryBite serves chains. MenuTrinfo serves compliance teams. POS flags are digital sticky notes. Nobody is serving the 500,000+ independent US restaurants that need a complete, affordable solution — until now.
Our founder runs 32 restaurants across 5 concepts — that's our proving ground. Now we're opening ClearDish to 10 independent restaurant partners who want in before we launch publicly.
ClearDish was founded by a 32-location restaurant group owner. We're not waiting for a pilot — we're already in it. Every product decision is validated in a real kitchen before it reaches you.
