I don't have a menu handy, so I tried taking a picture of the example on your website on my monitor. The first time, it said the picture wasn't clear enough, but the second time, it's stayed hung on "Scanning now..." for over five minutes so far. Nexus 5 running Android 5.0 stock, connected to wifi.
As I was about to submit the comment, it finally finished processing, returning a list of beers that weren't in the original menu image. Not surprised, given the poor quality inherent to taking a picture of a low-res picture on a low-density LCD screen, so the only issue I see here is how long it took to process the image.
Great idea—looking forward to trying it at the pub tonight (hopefully I'll have better success there).
Yeah, if you take a photo of a menu displayed on a standard monitor you tend to get a screen door effect on the photo, which lowers accuracy. It does work much better on high density monitors (and other high density tablet and phone screens), though, and of course physical menus.
