Menu-in · QR menu features
Turn your existing menu into a QR menu.
Read a PDF or menu photo with Menu Ai, or import Excel. Review categories, prices and variants before saving them to your restaurant menu.
Practical tools for your menu
Start with an existing file
Use a menu photo or PDF as a starting point, or organise your products in the Excel template.
Review the changes first
Check recognised names, prices, extras and variants in the preview. Correct uncertain results before saving.
Update selected information
Use the price update workflow when prices change. For broader updates, review the fields and image handling options.
How it works in your dashboard
See the setup stepsChoose a file
Open Import and export in your business panel. Select the Excel workflow or Menu Ai for a menu photo or PDF.
Review products and matches
Check categories, item names, prices, extras and variants. In an update, review matched existing products and the fields you intend to change.
Save and check the menu
Save the reviewed result, then open your public menu on a phone. Check the content before sharing the link or QR code.
Menu Ai results need human review. Excel pictures have their own template rules; use the instructions shown beside the upload control.

01 · Prepared Excel example
Edit the two sample rows from the prepared Excel template and check the result.
Prepared Excel example
Category, product name and price are required. Description is optional.
Export and template use the same format. Expand optional columns with + in Excel. Keep product IDs unchanged; leave them blank for new products. Product row in Extras and Variants refers to the row number in Menu; update it when moving rows. The image column contains an embedded preview of each product’s main photo. Existing images are kept by default when importing the file again.
XLSX: Insert → Pictures → Place over Cells. Anchor one image per product row in column E. JPG, PNG or WebP; up to 5000 images. Image links and in-cell images are not supported.
| # | Category | Product name | Price | Description | Image (optional) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Drinks | Latte | 5.50 | Espresso and milk | ▧ |
| 3 | Drinks | Tea | 3.00 |
Keep the headers. Use one row per product and prices without currency symbols: 5.50.
Extras and variants — when needed
Extras and Variants sheets are optional; leave them blank if unused. Product row is the row number in Menu (first product: 2).
Extras
| # | Product row | Extra name | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | Oat milk | 1.00 |
Variants
| # | Product row | Option name | Option value | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | Size | Small | 5.50 |
| 3 | 2 | Size | Large | 7.50 |
Use one row per size, e.g. Size / Small / 5.50 and Size / Large / 7.50.

Questions before you start
Which formats can I use?
Menu Ai reads menu images and PDF pages. The spreadsheet workflow supports the formats and templates shown in the panel. Follow its current upload limits and file instructions.
Does AI import need a review?
Yes. Recognition can be incomplete or inaccurate. Check prices, item associations and variants in the preview, and correct the result before saving.
Does Excel import use AI credits?
Excel import does not use AI credits. Menu Ai image and PDF reading uses credits; the panel shows the applicable operation and balance. Available features depend on your account.
