Write menu and specials-board descriptions that sell

The problem

A good description can make a bake sell out. Writing them fresh every week is the bit that gets skipped.

What AI does

AI writes short, appealing descriptions for your menu and specials board from the ingredients and sourcing you give it. It adds no claims you haven't made, and allergen information always comes from your own labels and recipes, checked by you.

Time

Time: About 10 minutes a weekTools: ChatGPT, Gemini, Canva

The steps, in short

  1. List each special with its real ingredients, sourcing and price.
  2. Have AI draft a short description for each one.
  3. Take out anything that over-promises, and check allergens against your own labels.
  4. Add the descriptions to your board or menu template.

A short sample prompt

Write a short, tempting description for each of my café specials below, in a [your style] tone. Stick to the ingredients and suppliers I name, and add no claims such as 'organic' unless I state them. Specials: [name, ingredients, source, price]
