This is where your AI-powered side hustle steps in!Miles breaks down the simple, actionable blueprint:Automated Data Collection: Learn how to use web scraping tools like ParseHub, Octoparse, or Python scripts (Beautiful Soup/Selenium) to regularly monitor restaurant menus for changes – new dishes, price adjustments, removed items – transforming raw data into pure gold.Powerful AI Analysis: Feed this change data into Large Language Models (LLMs) such as OpenAI's ChatGPT API, Claude, or Gemini. The AI will generate compelling 2-3 sentence descriptions for new items, analyze pricing trends, suggest cost-saving alternatives, and even assess dish popularity.Effortless Delivery & Reporting: Leverage automation tools like Zapier or Make.com to instantly send personalized, AI-generated reports to restaurant owners, detailing changes, providing ready-to-use marketing copy, and offering strategic insights.Target local restaurants and offer this indispensable service for $50-$150 per month, per restaurant.
