Import your menu with AI

Photograph your menu or upload a PDF. The AI turns it into a private draft that you check before you publish.

You don't have to type out your menu. The AI reads your photos or PDF and creates dishes, prices and categories as a draft. Guests see nothing until you publish.

Start an import

  1. Open Smart PageEdit pageMenu. If you don't have a menu yet, the import starts by itself.
  2. If you already have one, tap + at the top, then Add menu.
  3. Tap Photograph your menu or Choose a photo or PDF.
  4. Under "Is everything here?" put the pages in your menu's order. If something is missing, tap Add more pages. Then tap Continue.
  5. Under "All set." check Import into (a new menu, or an existing one that gets replaced in your draft), Allowance from and Imports left.
  6. Tap Create my draft. The AI reads every page. You can leave the screen; the work carries on.
  7. When "Your menu is ready." appears, tap View menu. Now check your dishes.

You can also start without a file: tap Build it without a file and add the dishes yourself.
