Digitize Your Menu: From Paper to Online in One Photo

Your paper menu already contains everything: dishes, prices, descriptions. So why retype it all? To digitize it, one photo is enough – the rest happens automatically.

One photo instead of hours of typing

Photograph your existing menu or upload a PDF. The AI recognizes every dish with its description and price and builds your digital menu automatically. A task that used to take hours now takes minutes.

Allergens with codes A–R

You assign each dish its allergens – during AI import, MenuToGo already suggests likely ones. Your guests see them right on the dish with the codes A–R. Checking which allergens a dish contains remains your responsibility.

Always current, in your languages

Once your menu is digital, you change it in seconds. A dish sold out? A new price? One click – every guest immediately sees the current version. From Standard, AI translates your menu into the languages of your plan.

  • Photograph your paper menu or upload a PDF.
  • Review the result and fine-tune with one click.
  • Assign allergens, add photos, done.

Use paper and digital together

You don't have to drop your paper menu right away. Many venues use both in parallel: the QR code simply goes on the table as an extra, so your guests can choose.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to type in the dishes myself?

No. You photograph your paper menu or upload a PDF — the AI recognizes dishes, descriptions, and prices automatically.

How accurately does the AI read my menu?

You review the result before importing it and can edit any dish afterwards.

Are allergens shown automatically?

Yes. Allergen labels can be assigned to each dish and are shown to your guests automatically.

Can I still keep my old paper menu?

Of course. Many venues use both — the QR code simply goes on the table as an extra.
