What's new
Product updates, news and milestones from Edible, the menu that speaks allergies and diets.
Nothing here yet. The first entries are on their way.
-
Nightly backups, checked every night
Menu data and Eat Hub accounts are now backed up every night to two separate providers in the EU. Each night's backup is test-restored before older copies are pruned, so we know it works, not just…
-
Published menus are served from the edge
Your embedded menu is now served from a published copy held close to your visitors. It loads fast, and it keeps working even if our database is having a bad day.
-
The embedded menu stays put
Opening a dish's allergen details on a filtered menu no longer jumps the page back to the top.
-
See your menu working before you sign up
When we send you a demo link, it now opens your own menu live as an Edible menu, with plans a tap away. "Get started" drops that menu straight into your editor, with your business name and region…
-
Faster uploads, and multi-page PDFs work
Submitting menu photos comes back in a fraction of the time it used to, especially when you send several at once.
-
Crustaceans and molluscs are now told apart
"Shellfish" used to be one bucket. Now a menu that names prawns is tracked as crustaceans and one that names mussels as molluscs, and tracking one never implies the other is covered. Where a menu…
-
Tell us what you think, right from a snap
There's now a Share feedback button on every snap result and in the More menu. Feedback sent from a snap arrives with the menu details attached, so we can look at exactly what you saw.
-
Know which allergens a menu actually tracks
Every snapped menu now comes with a coverage card: which allergens and diets the menu itself keeps track of, and which it doesn't. If a menu never mentions sesame, we say "ask", not "safe".
-
Eat Hub is live, in beta
Our app for diners with allergies and diets is out at eat.whatisedible.com. Build a profile, snap menus, and share your profile with the people who cook for you. It's a beta: snaps are capped per…
-
Location and device data is stripped from your menu photos
Phones tuck location and device details into every photo. When you upload a menu photo, we strip those before it's stored. The photo is kept for reading the menu, nothing more.
-
Clearer allergen badges
One badge per allergen family, never two for the same category on the same dish.
-
Sign in with a code, and see your snaps for the month
Signing in to Eat Hub now uses a one-time code sent to your email. No passwords, no links to keep. Your account page shows how many snaps you have left this month and when they reset, and lets you…
-
Eat Hub in six more languages
The whole app now works in Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Dutch: sign-in, profiles, the snap flow, error messages, even the dates on your snapped menus.
-
PDF menus, and plain words when a scan fails
You can now upload PDFs as well as photos: JPG, PNG or PDF, up to 5MB each.
-
Snapped menus stay on your phone, and error states are safer
A snapped menu is saved on your device once it's ready, so it opens instantly next time and works without a connection.
-
Snap a menu, see what you can eat
Point your phone at a menu in Eat Hub. It reads the menu, matches it against your profile, and shows you what suits you, and what you should ask about before ordering.
-
Eat Hub has a fresh look
Diet profiles got a new design and a sidebar, so moving between your profiles, your snapped menus and your settings is quicker.
-
Plans and pricing are live
Edible now has plans: a free tier to get going, and a Pro plan for venues that want their menu in their own branding. You can upgrade from inside the builder.
-
Your menu in your colours and fonts
Menus can now carry your own branding. Pick your colours and fonts in the builder and the menu follows, including the version embedded on your website.
-
Your allergen matrix, built from your menu
As you build a menu, Edible now shows the dietary spreadsheet (the allergen matrix venues are asked to keep), generated from what you've entered. There's no separate document to keep in step with the…
-
Try Edible with a photo of your menu
You can now try Edible before creating an account. Photograph your menu and we turn it into a live, filterable menu you can explore straight away. It is the same thing your diners would see.
-
Signing up is simpler
Creating a Menu Builder account is now a shorter, clearer flow, with fewer steps between you and your first published menu.
-
The menu page got a rebuild
The page diners see when they open an Edible menu was rebuilt and polished: a cleaner layout, easier reading on a phone, and a tidier embed when the menu sits inside your own website.
