lightbulb What it's for
A shortcut past the longest part of setup. Instead of typing every category and dish by hand, you hand over the menu you already have — a PDF, a photo, a web address or pasted text — and it comes back as draft categories and items you can correct. Most useful for an established venue with a printed or web menu already written.
settings Set it up (Admin)
- 1Open the Menu Converter step and supply your existing menu: upload a PDF or image, paste a URL, or paste the text itself.
- 2Wait for the conversion — typically a few minutes for a normal menu.
- 3Review what came back. Treat it as a draft: check prices, names and which category each dish landed in.
- 4Correct anything wrong before moving on — it is far quicker to fix here than after the business is live.
smartphone How guests use it (Client)
- 1Nothing is guest-facing directly — the result is your menu, which guests then browse like any other.
info Limits & good to know
- chevron_rightOptional. Leave it empty and press Continue to build the menu by hand instead, and you can import later.
- chevron_rightIt produces a DRAFT. Accuracy depends on how clean the source is — a well-structured PDF converts far better than a photographed chalkboard.
- chevron_rightA menu that is mostly images with little text may return few or no items.
- chevron_rightOptions and choices (add-ons, sizes) generally still need setting up by hand afterwards.
