MENU CHECK

Before you buy

Laptop or desktop only. Not a phone.
Works with the free Claude plan.
Reads itself out loud, and has a big-text mode.

I'm dyslexic, I hate spreadsheets, and this is the first thing I do with any salon that asks me about prices.

What's included

• The Menu Check workbook, yours to keep
• Section 1: set up Claude, with pictures of every click. Already got it? One button folds it away
• Section 2: your menu, as many services as you like
• Section 3: Claude checks about 10 salons near you and shows where you sit on every service
• Section 4: one page with the lot, to keep
• Every section can be read out loud to you
• A "Stuck? Start here" section

Who it's for

Salon owners and chair renters. Anyone who's wondered "am I charging too little?" and never checked. Works in NZ, Australia, the UK, the US and Canada.

Salon Business Edition 1 of 3. Three workbooks, one Claude chat: 1 Menu Check, 2 Price Your Menu 101, 3 KPI + Claude 101. Start here.

Are my prices right for my area? Find out in 15 minutes. You type in your menu and your suburb, Claude finds about 10 salons near you, reads their price lists, and shows you service by service whether you're cheap, dear or about right. With links, so you can see for yourself.

What it doesn't do

It doesn't tell you if your prices cover your costs. That's Edition 2, Price Your Menu 101, in the same chat.

How it works

After you buy, you'll get a download link. Open it on your computer and double-click the file. Your answers save as you go. Allow about 15 minutes.
