What we analyse

Four scores. One Menu Score for your kind of venue.

A cocktail bar is not a hotel restaurant. The scan detects your venue type from Google, your website and the menu itself, then weighs every check for that type. A brown café is never punished for having six cocktails.

Pricing intelligence

Every price on your menu against the median for that category, your venue type and your city. We check the price format, the ladder inside each section, the spread between cheapest and dearest, gross profit against pour cost, and whether wine-by-the-glass steps make sense next to the bottle.

Example finding on this menu

Your glass pours are 5,50 – 7 while the bottle is 27 – 36: the glass is 4,9× the bottle. Amsterdam cocktail bars sit at 4,2×. Either the glass is high or the bottle is cheap.

How we analyse a menu

AI reads the menu. Rules do the scoring.

No number in your report comes out of a language model. The model only turns your menu into structured data; every score, badge and euro is calculated by fixed rules you can read. Same menu in, same result out.

We fetch the menu

Website, PDF, or a photo from your phone. We honour robots.txt and only read the pages that hold menu content.

Sipflow AI extracts every item

Name, price, size, category, brand, position in the section, tags, emphasis, description. Low-confidence menus get a second, stronger pass.

Rules score it for your type

57 deterministic checks, weighted by venue profile. Each check cites the research behind it and its evidence grade. Folk wisdom scores zero.

We compare you to your city

Prices and assortment against venues of the same type in the same city, only once the group is large enough to be fair.

Verified finding

Read straight off your menu. "14 of your 22 cocktails have no description."

Benchmark finding

Against your cohort. "Your gin & tonic is 12% under the Amsterdam cocktail-bar median."

AI suggestion

Clearly labelled, never scored. "Try a one-line origin story for the house negroni."

Data & benchmarks

The largest menu dataset in Dutch hospitality.

Every scan adds items, prices and findings to one database. From it we build price bands per category, venue type and city, refreshed nightly. The same data powers the report you get for free and the purchasing tools in the Sipflow platform.

Fair cohorts. A city comparison needs at least 30 venues of your type; a national one at least 100. Below that we say so and the benchmark badges stay locked.
Research you can check. 43 rules from published menu engineering and behavioural economics studies, each graded Strong, Moderate or Folk. Every finding links to its source.
Real pour costs. Wholesale prices from our purchasing database set the margin on every item that names a brand. No brand named? We use the category benchmark and say so.
Your prices stay yours. Benchmarks are aggregates. No venue's menu is shown to another venue or to a supplier.

Revenue opportunity

What a better menu is worth. In euros, not points.

Your report ends with one number: the extra gross profit per month your menu can make, as a low–high range with every assumption shown. Tell us your estimated yearly bar and food sales and the range gets tighter. Open a free Sipflow account and it is recalculated on your real volumes and invoices.

Rewards & badges

Earn badges your menu deserves. Share them.

128 badges and trophies, from Excellent Gin Selection to Negroni Nerd. Earned on facts from your menu, never on a ranking, never with an expiry date. Each badge comes with a ready-made Instagram story: your venue photo, the badge, and a line that invites the next bar to scan theirs.

Our database

Brands monitored by the platform.

Every brand named on a Dutch menu is matched to our brand database: producer, category, origin, local or multinational, and wholesale price where we have it. Big houses and the brewery around the corner. The list grows with every scan.

After the scan

The scan is the start. The platform keeps the menu paying.

Create a free Starter account and your report is already in it. From there Sipflow connects the menu to what actually happens behind the bar: what you sell, what you buy, what it costs, what the brands owe you.

Menus

Your next menu, built on data

Re-scan every season, see the score move, test prices against your city band before you print. Badge near-misses tell you what two more gins would earn.

POS

Connect your POS

Sales per item flow in. The "estimated at scan" revenue opportunity becomes "measured now". Menu engineering on real mix, not guesses.

Purchasing

Buy at the right price

Wholesale price scans, supplier agreements, volume targets and retros in one place. Brands bid for the categories your menu has open.

Invoices

Scan every invoice

Photograph or forward invoices; every line is checked against your agreed price. Pour cost per cocktail updates itself.

Stock

Stock control without the clipboard

Counts, par levels and variance per bottle. See what walks out the door that was never sold.

FAQ

Questions bar owners ask us.

Short answers. The full method is in the report itself, with sources.

Yes. The scan, the Menu Score, the top findings and your badges are free and need no account. The full report with every item, the detailed revenue opportunity and the PDF live in a free Starter account.

Cocktail bars, bars and cafés, brown cafés, wine bars, restaurants, hotels (per outlet), coffee bars and event venues in the Netherlands. The venue type decides the weights and the benchmarks.

We only compare when at least 30 venues of your type in your city are in the database (100 nationally). Outliers are trimmed and cohorts rebuild nightly. If your cohort is too small, the report says so instead of guessing.

No. AI only reads the menu into structured data. Scores, badges and euro estimates are calculated by fixed rules based on published research. AI suggestions are marked as such and never affect the score.

Your items and prices are stored to build your report and anonymous benchmarks. No other venue or supplier sees your menu. You can ask us to remove it at any time.

Yes. Every badge comes with an Instagram story and a post image built from your Google Business photo, plus a public badge page you can switch on or off.

Free menu scan
