Show HN: YUPE – AI-powered app that removes language barriers from restaurants

https://yupe.app/
2•drakochack•6h ago
Hi HN,

I just launched YUPE, an iOS app that helps travelers understand and order from restaurant menus—even when they can’t read the local language.

Why I built it

  Food is one of the best ways to experience a culture, but language barriers often make it hard to know what you’re ordering.

  I wanted a way to explore any country’s gastronomy confidently—even if I couldn’t read the menu or speak the language.

What it does

  - Scan a menu

  - Chat with it — Ask questions like “Is this spicy?” or “Which dishes are dairy-free?”

  - Get personalized suggestions — Based on your preferences and allergies

  - One-tap order — Generates a polite, localized message you can show to the waiter

Currently supports 150+ languages. Designed for travelers, digital nomads, and curious foodies.

Privacy

  - No sign-up required for core features

  - Your food preferences are stored anonymously to personalize responses

Links

  - Website: https://yupe.app 

  - App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/yupe-dine-anywhere/id6743195643 

Would love feedback from the HN community!

Have you considered adding realistic screenshots to your website? I'm talking about real pictures –none of that purple background/edited stuff.

Those screenshots are real ones from the app — we’ve released version 1.0.1 with a few improvements though.

But I suspect you meant highlighting the screenshots more. Thanks for the feedback — I’ll check how to make a larger screenshot fit better in the design.
