Set up your menu, start to finish

Menus, Media, Links page & QR and Brand, and the order to work through them.

Your menu is what customers scan and what your AI waiter reads. Everything about it lives under Menu in the sidebar, in four pages: Menus, Media, Links page & QR and Brand.

The Menus page in tamr, listing one live menu with the locations it serves, its dish count and its languages
Menus. Each menu shows its status, the locations it serves, its dishes and its languages.

The four pages under Menu

Menuspage
Every menu you run. Import a new one, open one to edit its dishes, design and settings, and publish it.
Mediapage
Every picture your menus use: dish photos, covers, banners, popup images and logos. See the media library →.
Links page & QRpage
Your restaurant link, the page it opens, and the QR codes for each location and table. See Links page and QR codes →.
Brandpage
Your logo, colours, fonts and photo style. Every menu and your Links page use it unless you customise one. See set up your brand →.

Work through it in this order

  1. 1
    Set your brand

    Open Brand and add your logo, main colour and background. Your menus and Links page pick it up straight away. This is also the first step of the Kickoff.

  2. 2
    Bring your menu in

    On Menus, select Import a menu and paste a link, or upload a PDF, photos or a spreadsheet, or start from scratch. See import a menu →.

  3. 3
    Complete the dishes

    Check prices, then add descriptions, photos, dietary tags and allergens. The Tamr AI menu shows what is missing and drafts much of it for you to review. See edit dishes →.

  4. 4
    Design the menu

    Pick a layout, a cover and a subtitle on the Design tab, and the languages and price format under Settings. See design and settings →.

  5. 5
    Publish and share

    Select Publish, choose the locations that serve the menu, then print your codes from Links page & QR.

The menu editor

Open a menu to get its editor. The tabs along the top are Dishes, Design, AI waiter, Add-ons and Settings. The green Share button beside the menu's name opens its QR code and address, and the Tamr AI button holds the AI helpers for the whole menu. A live phone preview on the right repaints as you edit.

Menu status

A menu is always in one of four states, shown under its name.

StatusWhat customers see
DraftNothing. Only you can see it until you publish.
LiveThe menu. Edits reach customers in seconds.
OfflineA not-found page. The menu was live and was taken offline, so printed codes lead nowhere until you publish again.
ArchivedNothing. Hidden from customers until you restore it.
Editing needs an admin role

Owners and admins can import, edit and publish menus. Other team members can view them.

FAQ

Can I run more than one menu?

Yes. A brunch menu and a dinner menu, or a menu per brand, each live under Menus with their own dishes, design and locations.

Do I need the AI waiter before I publish?

No. A menu works on its own. With no waiter attached, chat is off on that menu. You choose who answers on the menu's AI waiter tab.

Where did the Share tab go?

It is the green Share button beside the menu's name. It opens the menu's QR code, its address and its tracked links.
