Everything TasteMind does for your bar or restaurant
TasteMind is a free digital menu platform for bars, wine bars and restaurants. Guests scan a QR code and get a menu that helps them choose — a built-in taste quiz matches them to three drinks from your list, each with a score and a reason. Around that core sit the tools that run a menu day to day: live availability, automatic happy hour, menu import, TV menu boards, staff training and analytics. This page is the full tour — the big features link through to a deeper guide.
Help guests choose
The reason TasteMind exists: guests who don't know the list still find something they'll love.
Taste matching & guest quiz
A few friendly questions, then three recommendations from your menu — each with a match score and a plain-language reason. Deterministic and explainable, not an AI black box.

Food pairing
Link drinks to dishes and guests see “pairs with” on the item. When your venue serves food, the quiz asks what the table is eating and tunes its drink matches to the meal.
Filters & search
Guests narrow the list by price, ABV, calories, dietary needs, allergens or alcohol-free — so everyone finds something that fits.
Six languages
Publish your menu and quiz in Danish, English, German, French, Spanish or Italian. Guests get their language automatically, with graceful fallback.
Run the menu without the busywork
Prices, availability and menus that keep themselves current.
Menu import
Paste a link to your existing menu or upload the PDF. TasteMind reads items, descriptions and prices — even glass/bottle pairs — into a draft you review before publishing.

89 taste presets
From Pinot Noir to West Coast IPA: pick a style and the taste profile is pre-filled, then fine-tune it to the exact bottle you pour.
Availability board
One tap behind the bar and a sold-out item greys out on every phone in the room — and drops out of recommendations until it's back.
Happy hour on autopilot
Schedule a window once. Prices switch automatically with was/now pricing and a live countdown — no edits mid-service.
Scheduled menus
Give a menu a date range or a time-of-day window and it shows and hides itself — brunch in the morning, the summer list from June to August.
Serving sizes
Per-variant pour sizes in cl, ml or oz with a sensible default unit — shown on the guest menu and on TV screens when you want them.
Your brand
Logo, colors and fonts, in light and dark mode. The menu looks like your venue, not like our software.
From pocket to big screen
One live menu, on every surface guests look at.
QR menus, no app
Guests scan and browse in the browser — no download, no signup. The menu works as an installable web app and keeps the last version available on flaky Wi-Fi.
TV menu display
Turn any TV with a browser into a menu board: rotating pages or a static board, four themes, per-screen menu selection — always in sync with the bar.

Website embed
Paste two lines into your website and your live menu appears — auto-height, light or dark, always in sync with prices and availability.

QR codes & table tents
One code for the venue or one per table — table codes unlock per-table analytics. Download print-ready table tents as PDF.
Know what works
Every scan is a signal. TasteMind turns it into decisions.
Guest analytics
Visitors, top items, hidden gems, the full quiz funnel, device split, per-table breakdowns and one-click CSV export — no setup, no extra tags.

The taste gap
The flagship chart: what guests say they're in the mood for, plotted against what your menu actually offers — so you spot the gap before your next order.
Guest feedback
Thumbs up or down on every recommendation, so you see which suggestions land and which fall flat.
A team that knows the list
The menu is only as good as the people selling it.
Staff training
A product handbook, menu quizzes and a pre-shift briefing generated straight from your live menu. Items someone gets wrong come back around until they stick.

No-login training link
Share one link and new hires can study the handbook before their first shift — no account, no app. Rotate or remove the link anytime.
Roles & venues
Owners, managers and staff with the right permissions. Run any number of venues from one account and assign each person to the venues they work in.
See it with your own menu
The demo is nice — your list is better. Import your menu, print a QR code and try the quiz on the drinks you actually pour. Free, no card required.
Features FAQ
Is TasteMind really free?
Yes — TasteMind is free to use today: every feature on this page, unlimited menus and items, no card required. We'll give plenty of notice before that ever changes.
Does TasteMind work for restaurants, or just bars?
Both. Restaurants use food menus with allergen filters, link drinks to dishes as pairings, and the taste quiz factors in what the table is eating when it recommends drinks.
Do my guests need to download an app?
No. The menu opens in the browser from a QR scan. It also works as an installable web app that keeps the last menu available on flaky Wi-Fi.
Can I import my existing menu?
Yes — paste a link to your current menu or upload a text-based PDF. TasteMind reads items, descriptions and prices into a draft you review and edit before anything goes live.
Can I show my menu on a TV?
Yes. Create a screen, open its short link in the TV's browser, and the TV becomes a menu board that stays in sync with your menu — sold-out items and happy-hour prices included.
Is staff training included?
Yes — a product handbook, menu quizzes and a pre-shift briefing are generated from your live menu, and managers see who has studied what. New staff can read the handbook from a no-login link.
