Editorial policy

This page explains what we publish, where each kind of fact comes from, and what we do when something is wrong.

Sources we accept

  • Prices: the live menu of one named store, read on the chain's ordering site, DoorDash or Uber Eats. The store, its address and the date are printed on the menu page. See how we verify prices for the store behind each chain.
  • Calories, nutrition and allergens: the chain's own nutrition PDF, nutrition calculator or allergen chart.
  • Hours and holiday openings: the chain's own store pages or statements, or a news report that quotes the chain. Each holiday answer is labeled with the season it was reported for.
  • Company facts (founding year, headquarters, owner): the chain's own website or filings, linked in the page's sources.

We don't use numbers from other menu or price sites, and we don't estimate. If a fact can't be confirmed, the page leaves it blank or says it varies by location.

Writing

Menu descriptions are written by us. We don't copy text from restaurant websites or other guides, we don't use restaurant logos, and we don't rate or rank food by taste. Comparisons on the site (cheapest, lightest, most items) are counted from the data on the page.

Photos

We use two kinds of photos, all listed on the photo credits page: 30 storefront photos from Wikimedia Commons used under the license shown with each, and 571 free stock photos from Unsplash. Stock photos show the type of food (a cheeseburger, a breakfast taco), not that restaurant's exact item.

Independence

Nothing on this site is sponsored, and no restaurant has paid to be listed or reviewed. If we ever add advertising or affiliate links, they will be labeled and will never change which menus we cover or what we say about them.

Corrections

  1. Email hello@menupricehq.com with the chain, the item, the price or number you saw, and the store's city or address. A receipt photo or a link to the store's online menu helps.
  2. We open the source named on the page (the store's live menu or the chain's nutrition guide) and compare.
  3. If the source changed, we update the item and the page's checked date. If your store simply charges differently from the store we name, we keep the number and may add your store to the city price comparison.

When a correction changes a number, the page's checked date moves to the day we fixed it.
