SWADN

Food that fits everyone. Everywhere.

Eat out without the guesswork. SWADN checks each dish against a participating restaurant's real menu and shows what fits your allergies and diet — in your language.

ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude can talk about food. What the restaurant or hotel kitchen declared about tonight's dish, they don't have — SWADN does.

SWADN is a Frankfurt-based food technology company: AI-powered — but grounded in the restaurant's real menu, not in general knowledge from the internet.

Why not just ask ChatGPT?

Ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude “can I eat this?” and they answer from general knowledge and whatever you show them — but they have no line to this restaurant's kitchen: not what it declared (ingredients, prep, cross-contact), no sign-off, and no update when a recipe changes.

The twist: SWADN uses the same kind of AI — but your allergy answer doesn't come from it. It comes from what this kitchen declared about the menu in front of you, matched to your profile — and when SWADN can't confirm a dish, it tells you so. Checked against the kitchen's declarations.

More than an app — a platform

SWADN is an app for people and a platform for the places they eat and shop. A person keeps their dietary, allergen and cultural needs in a private SWADN profile; restaurants, hotels and stores use SWADN to match their menu or shelf to that profile — showing which options match as they are and which can be adapted. Staff see only the preparation details, never anyone's personal or health data. SWADN runs across the everyday moments where food decisions happen — dining out, cooking at home, shopping, and gatherings — from one shared foundation:

• ConsumersA personal food companion: set your dietary, allergen and cultural needs once, then see which dishes, recipes and products match them — whether you're dining out, cooking at home, or shopping — always in your own language.
• Restaurants, hotels & organizationsRestaurants, hotels, caterers and workplace dining match their menus to each guest's profile, dish by dish — fewer anxious questions at the table, faster confident service, and genuinely inclusive dining. The kitchen sees only what to prepare.
• People dining togetherCoordination for families, teams and communities — plan a meal or an event where every single guest is offered food that fits them, automatically.

A single, rights-cleared knowledge layer — spanning recipes, ingredients, cuisines and cultural context, across many languages — powers every surface. Built with and for the people who cook, it is the asset that makes the matching accurate everywhere.

Built for the world's food

SWADN works across many languages, with cultural and regional cuisine context as a first-class part of the platform — not an afterthought. Our aim is simple: anyone, anywhere, in any language, in any region can be offered food that fits them, without ever having to disclose their health data.

Our data foundation combines authoritative nutrition science, canonical recipe knowledge, and geographic-cultural context, so that a recommendation in Frankfurt, Tokyo, or São Paulo reflects the food and culture of that place.
