AI Transparency

Last updated: May 2026.

1. What AI Does in Schmeckt.

Schmeckt. uses artificial intelligence to save restaurant operators time and to speed up menu maintenance. Four features rely on AI:

Menu import. Existing menus as PDF, photo, or Word document are read automatically; categories, dishes, and prices are detected.

Description texts. From a few keywords, AI generates sales-oriented dish descriptions.

Images. When no own photograph is available, AI can generate an image at the press of a button.

Translations. The menu can be translated into any language; guests choose for themselves.

2. Which AI Models Are Used

All AI requests are routed through the Lovable AI Gateway. Lovable AB (Stockholm, Sweden) is our sole direct AI partner. Through the gateway, we access models from leading providers; the model selection is managed by Lovable.

Currently available for Schmeckt.:

Text and translation: Google Gemini 3 Flash Preview (default), Google Gemini 2.5 Pro, OpenAI GPT-5, GPT-5.4 and variants (mini, nano, pro), GPT-5.5 and Pro variant.

Image generation: OpenAI GPT-Image-2 (default), GPT-Image-1 Mini, Google Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (also known as Nano Banana), Google Gemini 3 Pro Image Preview, Google Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Preview (Nano Banana 2).

Should additional or alternative models be added in the future as Lovable expands its offering, this page will be updated accordingly.

3. How AI Content Is Labelled

Schmeckt. implements the transparency requirements of the EU AI Act (Art. 50), mandatory from 2 August 2026.

AI-generated images carry a small badge labelled "AI image" on the public brand page. Additionally, the images are marked as AI-generated in their metadata (XMP), so that external tools can recognise them.

Machine translations are indicated with a corresponding notice in the language switcher. Once the operator manually reviews and approves a translation, the label is removed because editorial control is then in place.

AI-generated descriptions must be explicitly approved by the operator in the backend before publishing. On the public menu they appear without a separate label, as they fall under the editorial responsibility of the restaurant operator.

4. Who Bears Responsibility

Lisa Dietrich Design provides the AI features as technical infrastructure; Lovable AB as AI partner handles the technical implementation. What content is actually published is decided by the restaurant operators. By publishing, they assume editorial responsibility for all content on their menu, including content created with AI assistance.

5. Opt-Out

Restaurant operators who prefer to forgo AI entirely for their menu can fully disable AI features in the brand settings. All AI buttons then disappear from the backend.

6. Competent Supervisory Authority

In Austria, the AI Service Centre at the RTR oversees compliance with the EU AI Act:

AI Service Centre at RTR
Mariahilfer Straße 77-79, 1060 Vienna
