In brief: you don't have to rewrite your menu: import dishes already present on your Google profile or from a photo of the menu, then review names, prices, and allergens. Paper menus can stay for those who prefer them.
The most common fear: 'it will take hours'
Many managers postpone the switch to digital, thinking they have to photograph, write, and price every single dish from scratch—a task that seems to take hours or days, and is therefore always put off.
The shortcut: importing from what already exists
The fastest way is not to start from scratch, but to automatically import dishes already present on the venue's Google Maps profile (photos and prices uploaded over time by customers or the manager), then only correct the missing details.
What happens in the 2 practical minutes
Connect your venue to your Google profile, the system automatically imports available photos and prices, generates basic descriptions and translations, and the digital menu is ready—all that's left is to manually review and correct what isn't perfect.

The paper menu doesn't disappear immediately, and that's okay
During the transition phase, many venues keep both: the QR code on the table for those who prefer digital, and the paper menu for those who want it—the full transition happens naturally once the manager trusts the new solution.
What to check immediately after importing
Verify that allergens, prices, and availability are correct before showing the menu to customers: automatic import speeds up the work, but the final responsibility for the data always remains with the manager.
