Restaurant Menu & Price Intelligence

Extract structured restaurant menu data from public URLs, compare competitor prices, monitor menu changes, benchmark restaurant chains, and analyze own-site versus delivery-channel pricing.

Restaurant Menu & Price Intelligence is a restaurant menu scraper and pricing intelligence tool designed for restaurants, analysts, delivery businesses, chains, consultants, and market researchers.

Instead of returning raw page content, the Actor transforms public restaurant menus into structured product-level data, pricing comparisons, competitive benchmarks, change detection, and executive reports.

What you can do

• Extract structured restaurant menus from public URLs.
• Compare competitor menu prices.
• Analyze product-level restaurant pricing.
• Benchmark multiple locations of the same restaurant chain.
• Detect menu price changes over time.
• Compare own-site pricing with public delivery-channel pricing.
• Measure price dispersion across compatible restaurants or branches.
• Identify missing, exclusive, added, or removed menu items.
• Export structured restaurant menu data for analysis and automation.
• Generate a professional visual REPORT.html.

Restaurant Menu Scraper

The Actor extracts structured data from public restaurant and supported delivery menu URLs.

Dataset records can include:

• Restaurant
• Branch or location
• Channel
• Channel type
• Category
• Item name
• Description
• Explicit price
• Currency
• Availability
• Source evidence
• Confidence
• Public source URL

Prices, currencies, locations, availability, and other fields are based only on observable public evidence.

Unavailable information is not invented.

Competitor Menu Price Comparison

Compare multiple restaurants using monetarily compatible products.

The Actor can calculate:

• Minimum observed price
• Maximum observed price
• Median observed price
• Price versus benchmark
• Comparable-product price ranges
• Competitive price position
• Price dispersion

Comparisons are performed only when products and currencies are sufficiently compatible.

Menu Price Index

The Menu Price Index indicates the relative price position of a comparable product against observed benchmark prices in the same explicit currency.

It can help identify:

• Products priced above the observed benchmark
• Products priced below the observed benchmark
• Relative pricing differences between competitors
• Pricing consistency across locations

No currency conversion is performed.

Menu Change Monitoring

Monitor mode compares the current menu with the previous isolated snapshot for the same URL and channel.

Depending on available evidence, it can identify:

• Price increases
• Price reductions
• New menu products
• Removed products
• Product availability changes
• Other observed menu changes

The resulting Menu Change Score summarizes the magnitude of detected menu changes.

Chain Intelligence

Compare multiple locations of the same restaurant chain.

Chain analysis can include:

• Branch consistency
• Missing menu products
• Cheapest observed locations
• Most expensive observed locations
• Price differences between branches
• Price dispersion
• Product availability differences

This can be useful for multi-location restaurants, franchise analysis, audits, and competitive benchmarking.

Delivery Price Intelligence

Compare supported public own-site and delivery-channel menu data.

When sufficiently confident exact product matches are available, the Actor can report:

• base_price
• delivery_price
• delivery_markup_amount
• delivery_markup_pct
• Channel availability
• Missing products
• Exclusive products
• Branch and channel price dispersion

Ambiguous product matches or incompatible currencies are not compared.

Derived prices remain null when sufficient evidence is unavailable.

The Actor does not add taxes, tips, delivery charges, service fees, or other external charges to menu product prices.
