Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about plans, credits, and who MenuForge is for.
Is MenuForge only for restaurants?+
No. MenuForge is built for anyone who serves food – professionally or at home. Caterers, private chefs, culinary students, supper-club hosts, and event planners all use it to quickly create clean menus for all kinds of events.
What does the free plan include?+
A limited total number of ideation cycles (a "cycle" means one full round of AI idea generation), a small daily usage limit, and watermarked PDFs for exports. It’s designed to let you explore MenuForge without committing.
What’s a credit and how do I use it?+
1 credit = 1 ideation cycle or 1 clean PDF export. Credits are pay-as-you-go for casual users.
Do I need a card to start?+
No – you can start on the free tier without entering card details.
Can I use MenuForge for events like birthdays, pop-ups, or supper clubs?+
Yes – that’s one of the most common use cases.
Are my menus private?+
Menus stay in your account and aren’t shared publicly without your permission.
