Definition
How does AI menu import from photos work?
AI menu import reads your existing menu from an image and turns it into a digital menu draft — instead of making you retype everything.
Detected by AI ✓
- Product names
- Categories
- Prices
- Descriptions
- Sizes and variants
- Extra options
Important: AI does not change your menu directly. It shows you a draft first. You review, correct and approve.
The key distinction
AI suggests — you make the final call.

Extraction
You upload a photo. AI analyzes the menu and turns products into a draft. Your live menu is not changed at this stage.
-

Approval
You review the draft. Fix misread prices, edit products or fill in missing details.
-
03
Add to menu
Approved products are added to your menu in bulk.

Why AI import?
Remove the most tedious part of building a menu
A start in minutes
Begin from your existing menu instead of typing dozens of products one by one.
Less manual entry
You don’t have to type every product name and price by hand.
Keep your current menu
Information is extracted in the language the menu was written in; there is no automatic translation.
Bulk editing
Edit products in bulk on the AI draft instead of creating them one by one.
You’re in control
AI only creates suggestions. You approve what gets added to the menu.

Technical process
What happens from photo to digital menu?

Names, descriptions, sizes and prices are assigned to the right structure.

Extracted data becomes an editable menu structure.

Tips
Better photos, better results
To improve AI import accuracy.
Blurry / tilted photo
Sharp / straight photo
- Use good light — avoid shadowy or very dark photos.
- Shoot the menu straight on — reduce perspective distortion.
- Keep text readable — blurry images lower accuracy.
- Split long menus — use several clear photos.
- Do a final check — verify prices, categories and options before going live.
Afterwards
Your menu after AI import
What starts with a photo ends as an order-ready menu. After import, you can edit products through normal menu management.
AI draft
- Margherita — 280 TL
- Cheeseburger — 220 TL
Final menu
- Name, price, description
- Images and options
- Stock and category
AI import is not a replacement for menu management — it’s a starting point that speeds up menu creation.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- How many photos can I upload?
You can use multiple photos for long menus. Splitting the menu into several clear images often works better than packing everything into one shot.
- Can it read a handwritten menu?
Printed, clear text is usually easier to detect. For handwriting, results depend on legibility and photo quality. In every case, the result is shown as a draft first.
- Are prices imported correctly?
AI reads prices from the image; small, blurry or complex menus can produce errors. Always check prices before publishing.
- Is the menu translated into another language?
No. The goal is to turn your existing menu into a digital structure. The language used is preserved; there is no automatic translation.
- Are products added to my menu the moment I upload a photo?
No. An editable draft is created first. Products are not added to your menu until you review and approve them.
- Can I change products after AI import?
Yes. Imported products can be edited through normal menu management.
- Can I use the AI ordering assistant after AI menu import?
Yes. Once the menu is approved, the AI ordering assistant can suggest items to customers using your active products.
