AI Translations · included from the Bistro plan
Every tourist who can't read your menu is costing you money. Not anymore.
Carteia translates dishes, descriptions, categories, ingredients and allergens into 8 languages with an AI trained on real restaurant menus — no more cringe-worthy "handmade pasta with sauce". Tweak a single word by hand and your version stays locked in forever — the AI never touches it again.

01
A menu that's only in your language is revenue you leave on the table every single night.
A tourist staring at a menu they can't read does one of three things: orders the cheapest item because it's the only one they recognize, points at "whatever the next table got", or pays up and never comes back. Generic translation tools make it worse — "raw of the day", "handmade noodles", "mixed boiled meats" sell absolutely nothing. It happens at the restaurant, the pub, the pizzeria, the cocktail bar.

that knows hospitality and translates the dish, not the words
02How it works in practice
Write it once. Your menu speaks every language on its own.
The AI translates like a chef, not a dictionary
Carteia uses an AI built for hospitality: it translates dishes, descriptions, categories, ingredients, pairings and recipes into your menu's languages with the right wording — the kind that makes mouths water, not the kind that causes confusion.
Fix it once, keep it yours forever
Tweaked a word by hand? Carteia locks it instantly. No future automatic translation will ever touch that entry again.

How it works, plan by plan
01
1 · Assaggio and Osteria
AI translation runs once during onboarding and you publish your menu in 2 languages. A great starting point at no extra cost.
02
2 · From Bistro up
Translation becomes continuous and included in the plan: every menu change is re-translated automatically. Menu in 4 languages; from Ristorante you unlock all 8.
03
3 · Beyond your monthly included translations
Every month you get a bundle of full translations included, enough to cover normal use. Go over it and one extra full translation costs just 2 credits — that's it.
"Since the menu has been in German and English too, our tourist tables order the pricier dishes without even asking for an explanation."

05Frequently asked questions
How many languages can I publish my menu in?
2 languages on the Assaggio and Osteria plans, 4 languages from the Bistro plan, and all 8 from the Ristorante plan up. The available languages are Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and Chinese.
If I fix a translation by hand, will the AI overwrite it the next time I make a change?
No, never. The moment you edit a translation by hand, Carteia flags it as protected. No later automatic translation will touch it — not even if you update the original Italian description.
How much does it cost to translate the menu?
From the Bistro plan, continuous translation is included in the cost of the plan. Every month you get a set number of full translations included, designed to cover normal use. Only if you run out does each additional full translation cost 2 credits.
Does the AI translate allergens and ingredients too?
Yes. Carteia translates dishes, descriptions, categories, ingredients, pairings and recipes using proper hospitality wording — not a generic dictionary. Your international guests truly understand what they're ordering and what's in the dish.
Does it work for bars, pubs, pizzerias or cocktail bars too?
Yes. Cocktail lists, craft beers, pizzas, daily specials: everything gets translated into your menu's languages, whatever your venue's format.
