Write Menu Descriptions That Make People Order
Prompt
Write menu descriptions for a restaurant.
Restaurant name: {{restaurant_name}}
Cuisine type: {{cuisine_type}}
Menu section: {{menu_section}} (e.g., appetizers, entrees, desserts, drinks)
Menu items to describe (list each with key ingredients and preparation method):
{{menu_items}}
For each item, write a description in 15-30 words that:
- Mentions the key ingredients and how the dish is prepared
- Uses sensory language (taste, texture, aroma) sparingly but effectively
- Highlights what makes this dish interesting or different
- Matches the overall vibe of the restaurant (casual, upscale, rustic, modern, etc.)
- Does not use the words "delectable," "scrumptious," "tantalizing," or "to die for"
Restaurant vibe: {{restaurant_vibe}} (e.g., casual neighborhood spot, upscale dining, fast-casual, family-friendly)
If any items contain common allergens (nuts, gluten, dairy, shellfish), note them at the end of the description.
Write descriptions that give the diner enough information to make a confident choice, especially if they are ordering on a delivery app where they cannot ask questions.About This Prompt
