MENU MASTER Hi there, I'm an experienced researcher with a strong background in large-scale data collection and internet research projects. For each restaurant I would verify all profile details across Google Maps, the official website, and social media, source the latest menu from all available channels, and deliver clean, structured data ready for upload. I treat accuracy as non-negotiable — I flag incomplete records rather than filling gaps with guesswork, and I do a QA pass before every delivery batch. Interested in a long-term partnership and happy to complete a small paid test batch first so you can verify my quality before committing. Available to start immediately.

MENU MASTER Hi, I can help build this restaurant database carefully, with accuracy as the main priority. For each restaurant, I’ll verify the correct location, contact details, social pages, cuisine, logo/cover image and latest available menu from official sources such as the website, Google listing, Facebook or Instagram. I’ll then convert menu details into XLSX and upload them into your backend, checking that the right menu is matched to the right restaurant. I can complete around 40–50 restaurants per day while keeping quality controlled. My suggested cost is $0.18 per restaurant, so around $180 for 1,000 restaurants. I’m also happy to complete a small sample first so you can check the format and accuracy before the full list is processed.

MENU MASTER Hi there, I'm Roman, an internet-research and data specialist focused on accurate, high-volume datasets. Your project is exactly my lane: structured profiles, source verification, and getting the *latest* menu attached to the *right* restaurant — with no duplicates. Experience: I recently built a verified 1,600-record dataset of directors and CEOs of UK brokerage firms, sourcing across official sites, public listings and social profiles and verifying every field. The same discipline applies here: cross-checking address/suburb/city/province against Google Maps, confirming the menu is the current one (dated on the site/Facebook/Instagram), and matching logo and contact details to the correct brand. Workflow per restaurant: research and verify all profile fields → locate latest menu (website PDF → FB/IG → Google listing) → save as PDF or high-res JPEG → convert to xlsx → QA against your success criteria → flag duplicates. Throughput: at your accuracy bar I'd reliably complete 20–30 restaurants/day solo. Menu-to-spreadsheet conversion is the slowest step, so I'd rather quote a realistic pace than overpromise. Cost: $3 per restaurant → ~$3,000 for 1,000. I'd suggest a small paid pilot (25 restaurants) first, so you can verify quality before committing to the full batch. Team size: currently solo; I can bring in vetted researchers to scale for the thousands beyond this first batch. Happy to start with a sample so you can judge the accuracy directly. Best, Roman
