Your menu is trapped in a PDF
Millions of restaurants still keep their menu in a PDF, Word, or Excel file. Customers cannot easily browse it on their phones. Google cannot index it. Every price change means opening an editor, modifying the file, exporting again, and re-uploading. A process that takes hours every time.
Printed menus cost money. Translations are done by hand, full of errors. When a health inspector asks about allergens, there is no quick way to prove your menu is up to date.
The result: you lose time, you lose customers, and you risk fines. Your PDF menu is holding your business back. You need a modern solution that turns that static file into a live digital menu. Editable, accessible from any phone in the world.
AI reads your PDF and creates the digital menu instantly
IAMenu uses GPT Vision (gpt-5.1), the world's most advanced artificial intelligence, to read your PDF menu. The AI scans every page, identifies products, extracts prices, and recognises categories automatically. You do not need to type anything.
The process is simple. You upload your file. The AI processes it. In less than two minutes you have a complete digital menu with all your categories, all your products, and all your prices. Ready to publish.
The AI understands food context. It knows that "Margherita €12" is a pizza priced at twelve euros. It detects subcategories like "Starters", "Mains", or "Desserts". It handles columns, tables, and lists. And it works with menus in any language.
After importing you can edit every detail. Change a price, add a description, reorganise categories. Everything from a visual dashboard that is easy to use. No technical skills needed. No waiting for anyone.
Your menu goes from a dead file to a living digital menu. Accessible via QR, shareable by link, indexable by Google, and translatable into 29 languages with one click. The digital transformation of your restaurant starts here.
How it works step by step
Upload your file
Drag your PDF, Excel, or Word file into the IAMenu dashboard. The system accepts files up to 50 pages. You can also paste an image or photo of your physical menu.
AI analyses the content
GPT Vision reads every page of the document. It identifies dish names, prices, categories, and descriptions. The process takes between 30 seconds and 2 minutes depending on menu size.
Review the preview
IAMenu shows you the result before publishing. You will see all categories and products organised. You can fix any error, change the order, or add extra information like allergens or photos.
Publish your digital menu
One click and your menu is online. Customers see it on their phone by scanning a QR code. You can share it on WhatsApp, social media, or embed it in your website. From then on, every change goes live instantly.
Real-world use cases
Restaurant with 50 products in a PDF
Maria runs a trattoria in Barcelona. Her menu has been a PDF designed by a print shop for years. Every time she changes a dish she has to call the designer, wait two days, and pay 50 euros. With IAMenu she uploaded her PDF and in 90 seconds had all 50 products organised into 8 categories. Now she changes prices herself from her phone. She saves 600 euros a year on design and never has an outdated menu again.
Hotel resort with 300 legacy dishes
A 4-star hotel in Mallorca had 6 different menus in an Excel file with 300 rows. Pool menu, main restaurant, beach bar, room service, breakfast buffet, and wine list. Importing all 6 sheets took 8 minutes. The hotel went from PDFs nobody could find to digital menus with QR codes on every table. Guests see the menu in their language. Staff save 2 hours daily answering dish and price questions.
Quick update from Excel
Carlos manages a chain of 5 burger restaurants. He tracks prices in a shared Excel sheet. Before, every price change meant updating 5 different websites. Now he imports the Excel once and all 5 restaurants update instantly. When meat prices go up, the change reaches every digital menu in 2 minutes.
Supported formats
IAMenu AI processes the most common file formats. No matter how you store your menu, if you can open it on a computer, IAMenu can read it.
FAQ
How accurate is the AI import?
AI gets over 90% of products and prices right. After importing you can review and correct any detail before publishing. The system learns from each correction to improve future results.
Does it detect the menu language automatically?
Yes. GPT Vision recognises the document language automatically. It works with menus in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and 20+ additional languages.
Can I edit the menu after importing?
Absolutely. The import is just the starting point. After that you can change names, prices, descriptions, photos, and categories from the dashboard. Every change publishes instantly.
Which file format gives the best results?
PDF and Excel give the best results because the data structure is clearer. Word documents also work well. Photos of physical menus need good lighting for the OCR to read correctly.
How many products can it import at once?
There is no practical limit. We have tested menus with over 500 products with excellent results. A typical menu of 50 to 100 products processes in under 2 minutes.
Does it import allergens too?
If your menu mentions allergens, the AI detects them. Additionally, once imported, the Super Chef system analyses each product with AI and automatically detects the 14 EU-regulated allergens.
Do I need technical skills?
No. The process is as simple as uploading a file and clicking a button. You do not need design, programming, or technical skills. If you can use a phone, you can use IAMenu.
