Four simple steps to transform your voice into a professional digital menu
Step 1: Say the product name
Open GASTON, your AI assistant, and simply say the name of your dish. For example: "Pizza Margherita". The high-precision voice recognition captures your intent immediately, even in noisy kitchen environments. It works with accents from all over the English-speaking world, from the UK to Australia, the US to South Africa.
Step 2: Describe ingredients and details
Continue speaking naturally: "It has San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil, and extra virgin olive oil". The AI understands gastronomic context: it does not confuse "basil" with any random herb, it knows this is a classic Italian pizza ingredient. You can also mention allergens: "Gluten-free option available".
Step 3: Price and category
Say "Twelve dollars, in the Pizzas category, Classics subcategory". GASTON processes all the information at once. The price formats automatically according to your restaurant currency (USD, EUR, GBP, and 17 more currencies). The AI creates the menu structure if the category does not exist yet.
Step 4: AI creates everything automatically
In less than 30 seconds, your product appears in the digital menu with name, description, price, category, and it is automatically translated into all your active languages. If you have 10 languages activated, in 30 seconds you have your dish in 10 languages. Super Chef AI detects allergens automatically (Gluten, Dairy in this case). You can edit any detail afterwards if you want to perfect it.
Benefits of Creating Your Menu by Voice
The fastest and most natural way to manage your digital menu
Speed: 30 seconds vs 10 minutes
Creating a product manually on any digital menu platform requires opening forms, typing the name, writing a description, selecting categories, uploading a photo, setting the price, and reviewing allergens. That takes 8 to 12 minutes per product. With voice, all of that is reduced to 30 seconds. For a 50-dish menu, that means going from 8 hours to 25 minutes. The difference is dramatic.
Hands-free: Create while you cook
The chef is in the kitchen, hands covered in dough, supervising 6 pans simultaneously. They cannot sit down to type on a laptop. With voice creation, they can dictate the daily special while stirring the sauce. It is the only solution that adapts to the reality of a professional chef, not the other way around.
Natural: Speak as you think
You do not need to learn a new interface or memorize navigation menus. Simply speak as you would to a kitchen colleague: "Add a Caesar Salad with grilled chicken, eight fifty, in Starters". GASTON understands natural language, colloquial expressions, and regional terminology from any English-speaking country.
Instant menu updates
The swordfish ran out and fresh sea bass just arrived? Say "Change the fish of the day to Sea Bass al Sal, eighteen dollars" and in 5 seconds your digital menu is updated in all languages. During peak hours, when every second counts, voice is your best ally for keeping the menu current.
Automatic multilingual: Dictate in one, it appears in 29
Dictate your dish in English and it automatically translates into the 29 languages supported by IAMenu. It is not literal translation, it is contextual gastronomic translation: "pomme de terre" in French, not "apple of earth". Your tourist customers see the menu in their language without you doing anything extra.
Real Use Cases
How chefs and restaurant owners use voice creation in their daily operations
Chef during peak hour service
It is 1:30 PM on Saturday, the restaurant is packed. The supplier just delivered fresh bluefin tuna that was not on the menu. The chef, without letting go of the grill, tells GASTON: "Create a Bluefin Tuna Tataki with soy and sesame, twenty-two dollars, in Daily Specials". In 30 seconds, the waiter can already offer it to customers. Without missing a single service.
New dishes for the winter season
The restaurant is preparing its winter menu with 15 new dishes. Instead of spending an entire afternoon in front of the computer, the chef dictates all 15 dishes in 15 minutes while organizing the kitchen for the week. Each dish is created with name, description, price, translated into 6 active languages, and Super Chef detects allergens automatically. What used to be 3 hours of administrative work is now 15 minutes of natural conversation.
Hotel resort with 5 restaurants
A hotel with an Italian restaurant, Asian restaurant, buffet, beach bar, and room service needs to update prices for high season. The F&B Director dictates the changes for all 5 menus: "In the Mediterranean Restaurant, raise all fish prices by fifteen percent". GASTON updates massively, PDFs regenerate, and the QR codes on the tables already show the new prices. Centralized voice management for multi-location operations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Voice Menu Creation
How accurate is the voice recognition for dish names?
The system uses OpenAI Whisper voice recognition technology, trained with millions of hours of audio in over 90 languages. For gastronomic names like "Ossobuco alla milanese" or "Bouillabaisse", accuracy exceeds 95%. Additionally, GASTON applies a gastronomic context layer that automatically corrects minor errors. If the system ever misunderstands something, you can simply repeat it or correct it manually afterwards.
Does it work in all languages?
Yes. You can dictate in any of the 29 languages supported by IAMenu: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and 17 more. Voice recognition adapts to the language you select. And the best part: even if you dictate in just one language, IAMenu automatically translates your dish into all other active languages in your restaurant.
Can I edit dishes after creating them by voice?
Absolutely. Voice creation is the fast starting point. Once created, you can edit any field from the dashboard: name, description, price, allergens, images, translations. You can also continue using voice to edit: "GASTON, change the price of Margherita to thirteen dollars". Voice and keyboard work together, it is not one or the other.
Do I need a special microphone or particular equipment?
No. It works with the built-in microphone of any device: mobile phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer. You do not need to buy anything extra. If you are in a noisy kitchen, an inexpensive lapel microphone for about 10 dollars can improve capture, but it is not required. Most chefs use it directly from their personal mobile phone.
What happens if the AI does not correctly understand what I say?
The system shows what it has interpreted before confirming creation, giving you the opportunity to correct it. You can repeat the phrase, spell out a complicated word, or simply edit the field manually afterwards. With use, GASTON learns from your restaurant context: if you have a pizzeria, it better understands Italian names; if you have a Japanese restaurant, it improves with Japanese terms.
How much does the voice creation feature cost?
Voice creation is included in all IAMenu plans at no additional cost. The free Starter plan allows you to create up to 300 products. The Professional (39 euros/month) and Premium (69 euros/month) plans expand limits and add advanced features like unlimited translations, AI images with DALL-E 3, and priority support.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Voice creation requires an internet connection to process audio, generate translations, and detect allergens. However, latency is minimal: most operations complete in less than 3 seconds with a standard 4G or WiFi connection. If you lose connection during creation, GASTON saves the progress and completes it when the connection is restored.
