AI Catering Menu Planner for Events

Get balanced catering menu ideas for your event with AI, based on budget per person, allergies and dietary needs.

Attendees' dietary needs

Add one row for each dietary need and say what share of attendees follows it. People with no particular needs should not be added: they are already included in the rest.

  • Percentage of all guests.

The columns must be in the same order as the fields above, and they replace the rows already entered. A list in JSON format also works, if you have one.

Share entered: 20% of attendees. Everyone else will get the standard menu.

How it works

Enter the event type, budget per person, guests' allergies and intolerances and food preferences. The AI suggests balanced menu combinations by service style (finger food, buffet, seated dinner) with alternatives for every dietary need.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI generate menu suggestions?

The model combines nutritional rules, sensory balance (flavours, textures, colours), dietary constraints and budget to generate complete menu proposals. It also considers seasonal ingredients and regional culinary traditions.

Does the tool handle allergies and intolerances?

Yes, the tool covers the 14 major allergens listed in EU food labelling rules (such as gluten, milk and nuts), as well as lactose intolerance and special diets (vegan, kosher, halal). It automatically generates alternatives for each dish so that every guest has suitable options.

Can I customize the cuisine style?

Yes, you can choose from traditional Italian, fusion, international, gourmet street food and minimal cuisine. The tool adapts its suggestions to the chosen style, with presentation tips and wine pairings for seated dinners.
