Common questions about AI-ready restaurant menus
Clear answers about menu engineering, restaurant menu design, QR code menus, digital menu boards, AI search publishing, and setup.
Do I need technical skills to use Vera Menu?
No. Vera Menu is built for restaurant teams. You can upload a menu, review the results, and publish without writing code.
Can Vera Menu set up my restaurant menu for me?
Yes. If you prefer managed setup, send us your menu and restaurant details and we can prepare the first version for you.
Do I need to create an account before sending my menu?
No. You can request managed setup first. If you want to use the self-serve trial, you will create an account to upload and manage your menu.
What menu file types can I upload?
You can start with common files like PDFs, images, scans, screenshots, or menu documents. Clean files help, but they do not need to be perfect.
Can I manually create menu items instead of uploading a file?
Yes. You can add menu sections and items by hand if that is faster for a small menu or a quick update.
What happens after AI extracts my menu?
Vera Menu turns your file into editable sections, items, descriptions, prices, and tags so you can review everything before it goes live.
Do I have to review items before publishing?
Yes. You should review your items before publishing so names, prices, dietary notes, and availability are accurate.
What happens after I publish?
Your approved menu becomes available as structured restaurant data that can support search, AI discovery, and website publishing.
Can Vera Menu support QR code menus and digital menu boards?
Yes. Vera Menu publishes structured menu data that can support web menus, QR code menus, digital menu boards, and other digital menu experiences that need current item names, prices, descriptions, and categories.
Does Vera Menu automate dynamic pricing in restaurants?
No. Vera Menu does not automatically change prices for a restaurant. It keeps menu and price data structured, reviewable, and publishable so teams can accurately manage price updates if they use seasonal pricing, happy hour menus, or other dynamic pricing workflows.
How does menu personalization AI use structured menu data?
Menu personalization AI works better when dishes have clean categories, descriptions, dietary tags, ingredients, images, and availability details. Vera Menu helps prepare that foundation so personalization systems can reason from accurate menu records.
Can I publish JSON-LD to my existing website?
Yes. Vera Menu can provide structured menu data for your current website so you do not have to rebuild your site first.
What are llms.txt and ai.txt?
They are simple website files that can help AI tools understand where to find useful information about your restaurant and menu.
Can I invite my manager or marketing team?
Yes. You can bring in the people who help manage menu updates, marketing, or restaurant operations.
Can multi-location groups onboard restaurants one at a time?
Yes. Groups can start with one location, learn the workflow, and add more restaurants as menus and teams are ready.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. You can start a free trial to test the platform with your own menu before choosing a paid plan.
What if I am not sure which plan I need?
Start with the free trial or contact us for guidance. We can help you choose between self-serve and managed setup.
