Import path for wedding menu packages
Google Business Profile Menu to QR Menu Import Guide for Wedding Caterer is for wedding caterers that already have a menu source and want a cleaner live QR menu without rebuilding every item manually. The source format is Google Business Profile Menu. The accepted input is: Copy menu text from the restaurant's Google Business Profile or export it into a supported text or spreadsheet format.
This guide is different from the interactive tool pages. The tool pages help with upload or parsing. This page is the workflow around that step: preparation before import, cleanup after extraction, review before publishing, and QR distribution after the menu is approved. The preparation step is: Copy only guest-facing menu content and compare it against the restaurant's current in-house menu before import.
The main extraction risk is: Profile menus may be outdated, incomplete, duplicated, or missing current prices and availability. That risk matters for wedding menu packages because owners often need guest counts, course choices, dietary review, and final approval to be correct before guests scan the QR code. The cleanup focus is: Confirm categories, remove outdated items, check prices, and add descriptions or photos where guests need context. The field mapping is: Map profile categories to sections, listed dishes to items, and business notes to descriptions only if they belong on the menu.
Use this workflow as a practical owner checklist. FlipMenu supports PDF upload, image upload, CSV or TSV upload, and pasted text as starting points. For sources such as design exports, profile menus, website menus, or paper menus, prepare the source as a supported file or text first, then review the imported menu before publishing.

| Source area | Import step | Cleanup note | Review point | QR menu outcome | Analytics signal |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Source file | Copy menu text from the restaurant's Google Business Profile or export it into a supported text or spreadsheet format. | Copy only guest-facing menu content and compare it against the restaurant's current in-house menu before import. | Confirm the source is current before import | Start the QR menu from the cleanest available input | After launch, compare scans, menu views, and item views to see whether guest counts, course choices, dietary review, and final approval are clear enough for guests. |
| Section structure | Import section headings as menu categories | Profile menus may be outdated, incomplete, duplicated, or missing current prices and availability. | Review merged or missing headings | Guests see clear categories on mobile | Watch category and item views after launch |
| Item names | Import each visible dish or drink as an item | Confirm categories, remove outdated items, check prices, and add descriptions or photos where guests need context. | Compare names against the current menu | Guests can scan accurate item cards | Look for repeated detail views on unclear items |
| Descriptions | Keep useful guest-facing copy only | Map profile categories to sections, listed dishes to items, and business notes to descriptions only if they belong on the menu. | Remove staff-only or design-only notes | The QR menu stays readable | Review engagement before adding longer copy |
| Prices | Extract prices into item price fields | Confirm categories, remove outdated items, check prices, and add descriptions or photos where guests need context. | Check guest counts, course choices, dietary review, and final approval where prices, portions, or add-ons can be misread during import. | Guests see current prices without a reprint | Watch price-sensitive item views |
| Dietary notes | Move dietary and allergen notes into reviewed public copy | Have the owner review allergens, dietary notes, and cross-contact language before publishing wedding menu packages. | Owner checks ingredients and cross-contact wording | Guests see cautious menu notes | Track views on dietary-heavy items |
| Translation | Review names and descriptions before adding languages | Review imported names and descriptions before translating wedding menu packages, especially local dish names and option labels. | Check local vocabulary and product truth | Tourists get clearer menu context | Monitor language-specific page engagement |
| QR launch | Publish only after section order, item names, prices, descriptions, photos, and availability have been reviewed. | Use the QR code after the wedding caterer menu has been reviewed; keep printed materials pointing to the live menu URL. | Open the imported menu on mobile and compare it with the original google business profile menu before sharing the QR code. | The same QR code can stay printed while the menu changes | After launch, compare scans, menu views, and item views to see whether guest counts, course choices, dietary review, and final approval are clear enough for guests. |
Cleanup and review before publishing
The category strategy is: Keep wedding menu packages categories aligned with how guests scan the live QR menu, not with old print layout constraints. Old menus often reflect print constraints. A QR menu should reflect how guests actually scan on a phone: clear sections, short item cards, visible prices, useful photos, and notes that help the guest decide without asking staff for every detail.
Pricing review matters because import can misread columns, currency symbols, handwritten updates, or package ranges. Check guest counts, course choices, dietary review, and final approval where prices, portions, or add-ons can be misread during import. Allergen review also needs care. Have the owner review allergens, dietary notes, and cross-contact language before publishing wedding menu packages. Use cautious wording and have the restaurant confirm ingredient and cross-contact notes.
Translation review should happen after the English or source-language menu is cleaned up. Review imported names and descriptions before translating wedding menu packages, especially local dish names and option labels. If the source menu is messy, translating it only spreads the mess into more languages. Clean the item names, categories, and descriptions first, then add translations where they help guests.
The quality check is: Open the imported menu on mobile and compare it with the original google business profile menu before sharing the QR code. The publish step is: Publish only after section order, item names, prices, descriptions, photos, and availability have been reviewed. Once the menu is live, the QR distribution step is: Use the QR code after the wedding caterer menu has been reviewed; keep printed materials pointing to the live menu URL. The analytics signal to watch is: After launch, compare scans, menu views, and item views to see whether guest counts, course choices, dietary review, and final approval are clear enough for guests.
