Importing into: —

Download the CSV template — it contains example rows; replace them with your menu.
Fill it in with Excel or Google Sheets. One row per item. To give an item choices (sizes, add-ons), add rows under it with the name left empty — see the column guide.
Save it as CSV — Excel: File → Save As → CSV UTF-8 (Comma delimited); Google Sheets: File → Download → Comma-separated values.
Upload it below, check the preview, then click Confirm import.

Column guide

Column	What goes in it
`category`	The item's category. Required on every item row.
`subcategory`	Optional, one level only (e.g. Drinks › Cold).
`item_number`	Optional whole number printed on your menu. Unique per brand.
`name`	The item name. Leave it empty on rows that add choices to the item above.
`description`	Optional short description.
`price`	The item's base price, e.g. 4.50. Required on every item row.
`modifier_group`	Starts a group of choices on the current item, e.g. Size.
`required`	yes if the customer must choose from the group; blank or no if optional. Only on the group's first row.
`max_choices`	How many options the customer may pick (blank = 1). Only on the group's first row.
`option`	One choice, e.g. Large.
`option_price`	The extra charge for that choice, e.g. 1.00 (blank = 0; may be negative).
`tax_rate`	Optional. The item's own tax % (e.g. 8.25; 0 = tax-free). Blank = the category's or location's rate.
`category_tax_rate`	Optional. The category's tax %. Put it on any item row of that category; if you repeat it, keep it the same.
`subcategory_tax_rate`	Optional. The subcategory's tax % (needs a subcategory on the row).

Repeat a modifier group's full options under every item that uses it — groups with the same name must have the same options, prices and settings (otherwise the preview asks you to rename one), and a group that already exists under that name is updated in place for every item using it.

Download the AI prompt
Open ChatGPT or Claude, paste the whole prompt, and attach your menu (photos, PDF or spreadsheet) in the same message.
Check the menu with the AI before you save it. You can keep chatting with ChatGPT (or Claude) in the same conversation: ask it to list the categories, items and prices it read, tell it what is wrong or missing ("Latte is 4.75, not 4.50", "you missed the Desserts section"), and ask it for the corrected JSON. Repeat until the menu is right.
The reply has a JSON code block and a NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION list. Copy only what is inside the code block into a text file and save it as my-menu.json (Notepad: Save as type All files, Encoding UTF-8).
Read the NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION list first: items with no printed price are not in the file, and sizes named SIZE 1 / SIZE 2 are placeholders to rename in the menu editor afterwards.
Upload the .json file below, check the preview, then click Confirm import.
Or upload a menu saved with Export → JSON.

Import adds new items and updates existing ones (matched by item number, else by name in the same category). For every item in the file the file wins: a blank field clears that value and its choices are replaced. A tax rate is only changed when the file has a tax column (or a tax_rate in the JSON); items not in the file are left alone. Nothing is saved until you click Confirm import.
