Menu Intelligence

Product life-cycle analysis, combo penetration, cross-sell opportunities and price elasticity — AI-powered menu engineering.

Menu Engineering with the BCG Matrix

Every item is classified automatically by its revenue contribution and growth rate. See at a glance which items to promote and which to revise.

How Does It Work?

A 5-layer analysis pipeline evaluates every dimension of your menu automatically.

01

Lifecycle Analysis

Each product's rising / stable / declining / dead stage is determined automatically from weekly trend data.

02

Velocity Scoring

Daily sales pace, average quantity per order and sales frequency are summarised in a single velocity score.

03

Combo Penetration

The share of combo orders in total orders, the basket difference between combo and single orders, and the best-performing combos are analysed.

04

Cross-sell (Co-occurrence)

Product pairs sold together are identified through support and confidence metrics and turned into recommendations.

05

Price Elasticity

By analysing the correlation between discount depth and sales uplift, price-sensitive and price-insensitive products are identified.

AI Recommendations

Menu intelligence turns raw data into concrete action recommendations. Here are real examples:

Cross-sell Opportunity

The Espresso + Cheesecake combo lifts the basket by 34% → feature it on the menu

Declining Product

Brownie is in the declining stage, down 22% → revisit price or presentation

Time-Based Trend

Turkish coffee sells 45% more on Sundays → run a weekend promotion

Product Life Cycle

Every item is automatically classified into one of 4 stages. Different action recommendations are produced for each stage.

Rising

growing

Products with rising sales and strong potential

Stable

steady

Dependable products with consistent sales

Declining

slowing

Products with falling sales that need action

Dead

inactive

Products that barely sell and could be delisted

Frequently Asked Questions

How does menu intelligence work?+
aiR intelligence analyses each product's sales velocity, weekly trend, lifecycle stage (rising/stable/declining/dead) and how often it is sold alongside other products. These figures are read through a BCG-matrix-style framework to produce concrete recommendations.
What is combo analysis?+
Combo analysis looks at the penetration rate of combo menus (what share of total orders are combos), the basket difference between combo and single orders, and which combos perform best.
How are cross-sell recommendations produced?+
Co-occurrence analysis identifies product pairs that sell together. Cross-sell opportunities are then ranked by support (how often they are bought together) and confidence (the likelihood that a guest buying one also buys the other).
What are the product lifecycle stages?+
Rising, Stable, Declining and Dead. Each stage comes with its own recommended actions.
Is price elasticity analysed?+
Yes. The correlation between discount depth and sales uplift is analysed. Identifying which products are price-sensitive and which are not feeds concrete pricing strategy recommendations.
