Mint Light is not just a digital menu; it's a complete command center designed to streamline restaurant operations, boost sales, and eliminate friction. From the moment you sign up, you gain access to a suite of powerful features that transform how you manage your menu and interact with customers.
🎨 Feature: Menu Studio
The Menu Studio is the command center for your digital menu. We designed it for maximum speed and visual appeal, allowing you to build an experience, not just a list.
With the Menu Studio, you have total control over your offerings. You can organize your dishes into custom categories like "The Wok Master" or "Grand Finale Desserts", add dietary markers (Veg/Non-Veg), prep times, and spicy indicators. It's about giving your customers all the information they need to make a decision.
Design Your Menu, Your Way.
Use the Menu Studio to manage categories, high-res food photography, and dynamic pricing. With built-in tools like Magic Write for descriptions and Marketing Tags for promotion, you’re not just making a list—you’re building an experience.
How do I handle dishes that are sold out for the day?
You can toggle "Availability" instantly between Available, Out of Stock, or Hidden to keep your customers informed in real-time.
Can I add customizations like "Extra Cheese" or different portion sizes?
Yes. The Studio allows you to add Variants (like Small/Large) and Extras (add-ons) to any item, ensuring your customers get exactly what they want.
🤖 Feature: AI Menu Digitizer
The AI Menu Digitizer is the ultimate shortcut to go from paper to digital without the manual labor. We know that data entry can be a chore, so we built an AI to do the heavy lifting for you.
Our AI is built specifically for the hospitality industry. It recognizes names, prices, and descriptions even from photos of physical menus. You just drop a photo (JPG or PNG) and watch it transform into a structured digital catalog.
Scan. Sync. Sell.
Stop wasting hours on data entry. Drag and drop a photo of your physical menu into the AI Menu Digitizer and watch it transform into a structured digital catalog. No typos, no stress—just pure efficiency.
How accurate is the AI at reading my physical menu?
Our AI is built for hospitality. It recognizes names, prices, and descriptions even from photos. For best results, just ensure the lighting is clear and the text is readable.
Can I give the AI special instructions?
Absolutely. Use the "Custom Extraction" box to tell the AI specific things—like "Ignore the drinks section" or "Format prices in USD."
📥 Feature: Data Mobility (Export & Align)
We believe that your data belongs to you. That's why we emphasize Data Mobility. We provide professional tools to keep your menu organized, clean, and portable.
Whether you need a backup for your records or want to ensure everything looks perfect, our Data Mobility features have you covered. You can export your entire menu structure as a CSV file at any time.
Total Control Over Your Data.
Whether you need a CSV export for your records or want to use Auto Align to fix your layout, Mint Light gives you the professional tools to keep your menu organized and portable.
Can I keep a backup of my menu offline?
Yes. Use the Export CSV feature to download your entire menu structure at any time for offline record-keeping or bulk editing.
What does "Auto Align" do?
It automatically cleans up the formatting and layout of your categories and items to ensure everything looks pixel-perfect on any device.
📊 Feature: Live Insights Dashboard
The Live Insights Dashboard is the "System Nominal" nerve center that tracks your restaurant's pulse in real-time. We believe that knowing your numbers is key to growing your brand.
Every time a ticket is marked as "Paid," your Total Revenue and Order Count update in real-time. This gives you the transparency needed to run a smarter kitchen and make data-driven decisions.
Know Your Numbers, Grow Your Brand.
The Mint Light Dashboard transforms raw data into actionable growth. From tracking top-selling dishes like your "Butter Chicken Bonanza" to monitoring website traffic, we give you the transparency needed to run a smarter kitchen.
How often does the revenue data update?
Instantly. Every time a ticket is marked as "Paid," your Total Revenue and Order Count update in real-time so you always know your daily standing.
What counts as a "Pending / Open" ticket?
These are active tables or orders that are currently being served but haven't been settled yet. It helps you track your current floor load at a glance.
What is the "Avg Ticket" metric?
It's your average order value (Total Revenue / Paid Orders). Tracking this helps you see if your upselling strategies or "Aura AI" recommendations are working.
⚡ Feature: Quick Action Command Center
The Quick Action Command Center gives you one-tap access to every corner of your digital restaurant. Stop hunting through complex menus.
Our Quick Actions bar puts your KDS, POS, and Order History right at your fingertips. Whether you're jumping into the kitchen or checking a past receipt, everything is one click away.
Total Control, One Tap Away.
Stop hunting through complex menus. Our Quick Actions bar puts your KDS, POS, and Order History right at your fingertips. Whether you're jumping into the kitchen or checking a past receipt, everything is one click away.
What is the difference between the POS Terminal and the Waiter Portal?
The POS Terminal is for central billing and management, while the Waiter Portal is a mobile-optimized view for staff to take orders directly at the table.
Can I view my digital menu as a customer would see it?
Yes. The Open Menu action launches your live QR menu instantly, allowing you to verify pricing and photos exactly how your guests see them.
How do I handle technical issues?
Hit the Support action to open a ticket. Our team typically responds within 24 hours to keep your "System Nominal."
🎫 Feature: Order & Subscription Management
Stay organized and never miss a beat on your billing with our Order & Subscription Management tools.
Transparency in every transaction is our goal. From tracking "Voided" tickets to managing your AI Digitizer credits, Mint Light ensures you have a clear paper trail for every action taken on the platform.
Transparency in Every Transaction.
From tracking "Voided" tickets to managing your AI Digitizer credits, Mint Light ensures you have a clear paper trail for every action taken on the platform.
Where do I see my cancelled orders?
The Voids section tracks all cancelled or voided tickets, allowing you to audit why an order wasn't completed.
What are "AI Queries"?
These are your credits used for the AI Menu Digitizer. You can track your 30-day usage right from the main screen to see when it's time to top up.
🧠 MSAI: Menu Intelligence Engine
Moving beyond simple tracking, Mint Light introduces MSAI—a deep analytics layer that turns sales data into actionable menu strategies for maximum profit. MSAI is not an AI bot; it is a sophisticated intelligence engine for owners to understand business trends.
📈 Feature: Sales & Trend Intelligence
Visualize your growth with trajectory-based tracking and automated P&L insights. Don't just wonder if you're growing—see it.
From Data to Decisions.
Don't just wonder if you're growing—see it. Our Sales Intelligence suite tracks every rupee and every order, providing a clear trend trajectory so you can stay ahead of the curve.
What does "Trend Trajectory" mean?
It compares your current performance (Revenue, Orders, and Ticket Size) against the previous period. A "+100% vs last month" indicator tells you exactly how much your business is scaling.
Can I use this for accounting?
Yes. Use the Export CSV or P&L Statement quick actions to grab all your completed order data for tax season or investor reporting.
How do I identify my busiest times?
The "Busiest Day" metric highlights when your kitchen is under the most pressure, helping you schedule staff more effectively.
🍽️ Feature: Per-Dish Menu Intelligence
Granular data for every item on your menu to help you "Engineer" for profit. Every dish tells a story.
Master Your Menu Engineering.
Every dish tells a story. Mint Light identifies your "Star" items and your "Underperformers." Learn which extras are "upsell gold mines" and which variants drive the most revenue with per-dish deep dives.
What is the "Extras %" and why does it matter?
This shows how often customers add "Extras" (like extra cheese or a side) to a specific dish. If a dish like the BBQ Chicken Feast has 0% extras, it’s a signal to offer a bundle or a prompt to increase your ticket size.
Can I see which size of a dish sells best?
Yes. The Variant Split tracks sales by size (e.g., Small vs. XL), so you know which portions your customers actually prefer.
How do I know when a specific dish is most popular?
Our "Peak Hour" and "Peak Day" intelligence tells you exactly when a dish hits its stride—like 1 AM on a Wednesday—so you can prep smarter and reduce waste.
🤖 Aura AI (Menu Concierge)
Aura AI is a Menu Concierge that acts as a personal assistant for customers—recommending dishes based on mood, ingredients, or trends, and making menu exploration fun.
Your Digital Tableside Waiter.
Personalized recommendations and quick-action prompts like "Surprise me" boost average ticket size automatically. Aura AI lives inside your digital menu to help guests decide faster.
What is Aura AI?
It's a digital waiter that answers customer questions, suggests dishes, and handles dietary queries right inside the menu.
How does Aura AI increase revenue?

You can store your Trade/Legal Name, GSTIN, FSSAI license number, and UPI ID. This data is automatically mapped to customer bills and receipts for seamless compliance.
What is the Menu URL?
It is the unique link where customers can view and order from your digital catalog. This is usually locked after setup to maintain SEO consistency.
🧠 Feature: AI Brain (Shaping Wavy)
Shape the personality and knowledge of Wavy, your digital concierge. We believe that your AI should reflect your restaurant's soul.
You can write about your history, the inspiration behind your dishes, and the vibe you want guests to feel. Wavy doesn't just read your menu; he understands your story.
The Restaurant's Soul.
Write about your history, the inspiration behind your dishes, and the vibe you want guests to feel. This story is the foundation of every AI conversation.
What is the difference between Aura AI and MSAI?
Aura AI is for your customers (a digital waiter); MSAI is for you (a business analytics engine on your dashboard).
Does MSAI suggest business moves?
Yes. MSAI analyzes your sales patterns and suggests moves—like bundle offers for dishes with low extras adoption—to increase your margins.
💳 Feature: Subscription & Billing
Manage your plan, limits, and billing history easily. Mint Light offers flexible plans to fit restaurants of all sizes.
