Overview
ChefBear turns a restaurant menu into something you can talk through with Claude. Connect your ChefBear account and share a link to a menu photo, and ChefBear reads it into a private, structured menu: dish names, short descriptions, categories and prices, in the language you choose. Then ask Claude what to order. Tell it what you're in the mood for, what you've eaten lately, how hungry you are or how many people are sharing, and Claude compares the dishes and prices on your saved menu to help you pick. New menus stay private. ChefBear makes a public link only when you ask for one, and you can turn the link off later. Reading a saved menu does not run recognition again and does not use your allowance. What the connector can do: - Import menu photos you share as links (uses your ChefBear recognition allowance) - Check an import and open the private menu link - Read a saved menu by its ID - Create or turn off a share link for a menu What it does not do: it does not read your ChefBear taste profile, meal history or orders, does not create images, and does not place orders or take payments. You need a ChefBear account (free on the App Store, with optional ChefBear Pro). You approve the connection in the ChefBear iPhone app. Dish details come from the restaurant's menu, so confirm anything important with the restaurant before you order.
