This policy explains how USA Food Menu researches, writes, updates and corrects the information on our site. It applies to every menu page, restaurant guide and tool we publish.
Independence
USA Food Menu is an independent website. We are not owned by, affiliated with or paid by any restaurant chain. No restaurant can pay to appear on the site, to change what we say about it or to be ranked above a competitor. Restaurant names, menu item names and trademarks belong to their owners and are used only to identify the food we describe.
Who is responsible
USA Food Menu’s content is overseen by its founder and editor, Jahanzaib, based in Houston, Texas. Jahanzaib is responsible for the standards on this page, approves new menu pages and guides before they are published, and reviews every correction request.
Original writing
Everything on the site is written in our own words. We do not copy menus, descriptions or articles from other websites. When we use facts from official sources, such as a chain’s nutrition guide or an earnings call, we summarize them and explain what they mean for someone deciding what to order.
How we research
Menu pages are built from the chain’s official website and app, official nutrition documents, company announcements, independent price trackers and reader reports. The full process, including how we choose which price to publish, is explained on our How We Check Prices page.
Accuracy standards
- Prices are typical prices, not official prices, and every menu page says so.
- When prices vary widely or a chain has no national pricing, we show a range and explain why.
- Limited time items and deals are labeled so readers know they may end.
- Calorie figures come from official nutrition information and are shown as ranges where items can be customized.
- We do not invent quotes, reviews, statistics or experiences.
- Claims about company history, ownership and policies are checked against public, reliable sources.
Updates
Every menu page is reviewed at least once a month, and its title shows the month of the last check. Pages are updated sooner when a chain announces a price change, a new item, a discontinued item or a new deal. Restaurant guides are reviewed when the facts they rely on change.
Corrections
When we get something wrong, we fix it. Readers can report errors through our contact page. Please include the restaurant, the location, the date and what you saw. We review every report. If the error affects the page for most readers, such as a discontinued item or a national price change, we correct the page promptly. If the difference is local to one restaurant, we may add a note about price variation instead.
Health and allergy information
Calorie and nutrition details are provided as a general guide only. They are not medical or dietary advice. Anyone with a food allergy or medical condition should check the restaurant’s current allergen guide and speak to staff before ordering.
Advertising
USA Food Menu may show advertising to keep the site free. Advertising never influences our menu pages, prices, deals or recommendations, and ads are kept clearly separate from our content.
