AI Menu Import Agent

Stop typing your menu. Photograph it.

PDF, image, spreadsheet, JSON or a paragraph of text. The agent turns any of them into a structured, priced catalog with categories and modifier groups, and tells you exactly what it couldn't read.

Bring it in however you have it

Any file. Any format.

A scanned PDF, a phone photo of a laminated menu, an Excel sheet from your old POS, or text pasted in. The agent reads them all. You can also just describe the menu in plain words and it builds it.

Scanned PDFs

Print-outs and exported menus, read page by page. Layout, prices and all.

Phone photos

Snap the laminated menu on the wall. The agent reads it like a person would.

Spreadsheets

An Excel or CSV export from your old POS comes in clean and mapped.

Pasted text

Copy your menu out of a doc or email and drop it straight in.

Natural language

Just describe the menu in plain words and the agent builds it for you.

JSON & structured data

Already have structured data? Hand it over and skip the retyping.

  • Named items with prices and tax, not loose lines of text
  • Sorted into the right categories automatically
  • Item descriptions drafted for you, ready to publish

Modifiers it figures out for you

It spots the options too.

"Choice of side," "add cheese," small, medium, large. The agent infers variant and modifier groups from the source, so your customization rules are built, not bolted on later.

  • Sizes like small, medium and large become variant groups
  • "Add cheese" and extras become priced modifiers
  • "Choice of side" becomes a structured choice group
Honest about what it can't read

No false confidence.

A verification step checks every extracted item against the source. You get a clear list of what imported cleanly and what needs a human eye. Trust the green. Review the rest.

  • Clean imports marked confident, so you can trust the green
  • Low-confidence items flagged for a quick human review
  • Every item checked back against the original source
