MealWords dietary card generator

Show waiters what you cannot eat, in their language, instantly

Problem
Travelers with allergies or dietary restrictions waste time trying to explain via ChatGPT while waiters need a fast, clear answer. What they actually need is a local-language card stating what they cannot eat and asking for recommendations. Generic translators are not built for this fast, face-to-face table interaction.
Solution
Enter restrictions/allergens and target language to generate an offline-friendly display card with large text, icons, local-language wording and pronunciation, plus a short phrase asking the waiter to recommend safe dishes. Save frequent cards and switch languages quickly.
Users
International travelers, people with food allergies or religious diets, families traveling with kids or elders
MVP
Pick language and restrictions to generate a card; full-screen large text with icons; saved cards and offline use; one-line phrase asking for recommendations; shareable image card
Revenue
Free watermarked cards with one-time purchase to unlock all languages and offline packs; or a low-cost annual subscription with tipping etiquette content
Why now
LLM translation is good enough and the product is a small front-end build; travel demand is recovering and indie developers can launch fast via ASO and social sharing
