The Zero-Waste, Margin-First AI Menu
Real-time, data-driven,
menu optimization
ABOUT
Lime is an intelligent menu platform designed to solve the two biggest killers of restaurant profitability: Food Waste and Ingredient Inflation.
Instead of aggressive 'surge pricing' that alienates loyal diners, Lime uses 'Yield Management.' It subtly highlights dishes with perishable inventory to reduce spoilage and automatically adjusts margins when supplier costs spike. It transforms the menu from a static PDF into a responsive tool that balances the kitchen’s inventory with the customer’s experience.
