Melissa Butler founded Menu Order AI to solve a critical gap in the dining experience for people managing their health through GLP-1 medications. As someone on GLP-1 medication herself, she deeply understands the complexities of dieting and making informed menu choices. Menu Order AI has grown to more than 150,000 downloads and averages approximately 35,000 monthly active users, and surpassed 110,000 downloads just four and a half months after launch in October 2025.
With a degree from Boston University, Melissa juggles being a mother of four, a wife, a dog enthusiast, and an innovating business leader. Her mission is to become the intelligence layer between restaurant menus and diners, helping guests instantly discover personalized menu recommendations based on their dietary preferences and nutrition goals, including high-protein, low-carb, and GLP-1-friendly options.
The app instantly analyzes any menu from any restaurant, café, or delivery platform and highlights personalized meal options such as High-Protein, GLP-1 Friendly, Low-Carb, and Low WW Points. Menu Order AI is one of the first woman-owned health-tech innovators in a male-dominated industry, bringing a needed perspective to the intersection of AI, nutrition, and dining. In 2026, she appointed Krishna Kumar as Fractional Chief Operating Officer to strengthen the company's leadership team as it expands its AI-powered platform for restaurants and consumers.
