The receipts
No checkable revenue yet, so treat this as a hypothesis. Know a real example? Send it.
Payment-verified figures come from TrustMRR, which reads revenue from the business's payment provider. Founder and press figures are claims we found on the linked page and haven't audited. How we check.
Who pays
Travelers, people with food allergies, restaurants serving tourists.
How it makes money
App subscription; B2B multilingual menus for restaurants.
How to start your own
- Lead with allergies; that's the urgent pain.
- Offer restaurants a QR multilingual menu as a B2B version.
- Market to travel creators.
The catch
Big translation apps already do the basic version for free.
