Review the 5 concepts and pick the 2-3 that excite you most

Cost them out before committing — the AI does not know your supplier prices

Trial them as weekend specials first, then add the winners to the regular menu
- 7
Drop the Instagram captions straight into Postiz and schedule your launch posts
Watch out for
- ⚠
Always calculate food cost before running a special — a drink that sounds great may not have the margin
- ⚠
Have a native speaker check the Chinese names — some AI-generated names sound fine in text but awkward spoken aloud
- ⚠
The AI will suggest trendy ingredients it has read about but may not know are out of season locally — adjust for what you can actually source
