MenuMetric Smart Menu Builder
MenuMetric Smart Menu Builder: MenuMetric describes its Smart Menu Builder, also called MenuSelect, as a feature that uses artificial intelligence to select the right options for every product on an F&I menu. The company says it works from a proprietary algorithm that learns the finance manager's habits in MenuMetric and applies them when a menu is built.
MenuMetric Smart Menu Builder: Smart Menu Builder
The stated purpose is speed. MenuMetric says the builder reduces the number of clicks needed to make a menu, which saves time in the finance office where a manager may present many menus in a day.
The system learns the user's habits and adjusts over time. So the selections it proposes move closer to what the manager would choose.
The manager keeps control. According to MenuMetric, the user can change the rate selected and can direct the system to choose preferred coverage deal by deal in pre-rate fields before rating happens.
That is the company's description of how automation and manager judgment share the work.
The builder is one feature of the MenuMetric platform, described on the company's system features help page and packages page. Other features include a Profile that asks customers the right questions at the right time, cloud-based reporting to find opportunities.
A stand-alone electronic contracting platform to process product contracts without a menu.
GetApp, Capterra and Software Advice carry independent listings, and ZoomInfo and LinkedIn carry company information. Ratings and prices there are outside opinions.
An automatically assembled menu raises compliance questions that a store should raise with its own advisers: whether every customer sees the same options, how selections are documented, how the algorithm is prevented from steering customers, and whether the menu presentation meets the store's and lenders' requirements.
The finance manager would also ask how the tool is configured for product providers, how rates are loaded and updated, how much of the builder can be turned off and how it reports. The category guide for F&I menus lists a neutral checklist for use with MenuMetric and other menu tools.

Smart Menu Builder is MenuMetric's tool for assembling an F&I menu faster. The company describes an AI feature, MenuSelect, that learns a finance manager's habits and preselects options for each product, and says managers save an average of 17 minutes per sale with one-click logging.
The wider package covers customer profiling, DMS portal integration, eContracting and unlimited customized menus. Test it against your own product list: confirm that rates and disclosures stay current, that preselection can be switched off and that every menu choice reaches the contract exactly as presented.
