How it works

Menus across Western New York do not share a common catalog. The same eighth can appear under three titles, two weights, and two tax styles. The engine turns that into one comparable product.

1. Step 1

   Ingest live menus

   We pull current dispensary menus on a recurring cadence and store every sellable variant with its price, sale price, tax flag, and product link.

2. Step 2

   Normalize the mess

   Weights, brands, and forms are standardized against a Western NY brand registry. Display titles are composed server-side so shoppers never see raw source names as the identity.

3. Step 3

   Match identical products

   A master catalog product (one identity) collects every store offer for that item. Matching never happens in the browser and never invents joins.

4. Step 4

   Compare on out-the-door

   Some menus include tax; others add it at checkout. We compare on OTD so a $25 menu price is not silently cheaper than a $28 tax-in price.
