Make restaurant flyers from your own food photos with ChatGPT, and use it to scale inventory and set prices for a second location
Mary Miles, owner of Dimples Bar and Grill, a cheesesteak restaurant in Locust Point, Baltimore, in The Baltimore Banner
She consults ChatGPT all day, every day. It makes her social media flyers from her own photos of the dishes she serves, and it helped her work out how to scale her inventory up or down and set prices for the Fells Point location.

ChatGPT
The problem
She was opening a second location in Fells Point and needed help with inventory, pricing and promotion on top of running the first.
What happened
"It's like having an assistant that doesn't talk back," she told the Banner. The limit she names: the bot "sort of airbrushes the photo" and sometimes goes too far; upload a cheesesteak and "he'll add green peppers." No figures, per The Baltimore Banner.

How to set it up yourself
- What Dimples used: ChatGPT, fed her own dish photos for flyers, and for inventory and pricing questions for a second location.
- Upload a real photo of the dish with the flyer prompt below and tell it not to change the food.
- Check every flyer against the actual plate before posting; she says it sometimes adds things, like green peppers on a cheesesteak.
- For a new location, give it your current weekly sales and order quantities and ask how to scale each item up or down, with its assumptions listed.
- Check its price suggestions against your real food costs before changing the menu.
