What we cover
New releases, seasonal drops, country-exclusive items and full country menus for the world's biggest food and coffee chains. The interesting story is usually outside the US: the items chains invent for Japan, Korea, India or the Philippines that never travel.
How a page earns its date
- Primary sources first. Prices and lineups come from each chain’s own country menu pages and press releases, not from other articles about them.
- Dates on everything. Seasonal items carry start and end dates where the chain publishes them; every page shows when it was last checked.
- Discontinued means removed. When an item leaves a menu, the page changes. We would rather say "gone as of this check" than keep a dead item alive for clicks.
- Prices carry currencies. A ¥490 latte is not a $4.90 latte; we quote local prices and convert loosely, not the reverse.
Corrections are part of the product
Menus move weekly. If an item, price or date has changed, email us; include where you saw it and we’ll check and update the page.
Independence
New on the Menu is an independent editorial site. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any chain we cover; all trademarks belong to their owners, and product images from chain press materials are used for editorial coverage of those products.
About the editor
I track what the world's biggest chains are serving, country by country — new releases, exclusives and prices, checked against the chains' own menus and press rooms. Every page shows when it was last verified.
