QR menu for Saudi Arabia in Arabic first, with calories and allergens on every dish
tamr is a QR menu for Saudi Arabia, for restaurants and cafes from Riyadh to Jeddah. Your customers scan, read your menu in Arabic or English, and ask the AI waiter in Arabic or English. It replies in Arabic, in a Gulf style when the customer writes in a Gulf dialect. Each dish can show its calories and allergens. The menu and the AI waiter are free.
A dish on a tamr menu shows its name, photo, price and description, and it has a field for calories and tags for ten allergens. Calories show as kcal on the dish, with protein, carbs and fat in grams if you add them. The numbers are the ones you enter, so they are as right as your recipe cards.
The AI waiter answers from the tags
A customer who says “no nuts” sees the dishes with no nut tag, and is asked to confirm with your staff.
Tags are always words
An allergen is never shown by colour alone. Each tag carries its name, in the customer's language.
tamr has a field for two of the five labels: calories and allergens, and for ten of the fourteen allergens. It has no caffeine field, no salt icon and no activity icon. tamr does not check your menu against any rule, and using it does not make a restaurant compliant. What your menu must carry is for you and the SFDA.
