Generate Your Menu

Turn your dish list into a menu you can hand a customer or upload to a delivery app.

What you can generate

• Print menu: Print-ready layout built from your dishes, styled to match your brand, that updates automatically when you change a price.
• Delivery menus: Photo sets and layouts sized to meet the listing requirements of apps like Deliveroo and Uber Eats.

How to generate a printed menu

There are 4 ways to design a printed menu layout with SecretSauce:

• Template: You pick a layout option from SecretSauce in the chat.
• Reference image: You upload a menu image and SecretSauce matches its look.
• Inspiration image: You browse the Inspiration page and choose a template you like.
• Custom: You work with SecretSauce to create a layout design from scratch.

Before you generate a printed menu, make sure your menu is marked ready to use. That means all the photos are in and approved.

1. Tap Menu on the left of the SecretSauce platform.
2. Tap Use this Menu on an existing menu card.
3. Tap Print menu.
4. SecretSauce will open a new chat. Follow the steps in the chat to create your menu layout. You can choose whether to create the layout from a SecretSauce template, from scratch, or from a reference image.

You can also create a menu by browsing the Inspiration page.

1. Tap Content Ideas on the left of the SecretSauce platform.
2. Scroll down to Inspiration and choose the Menu templates filter.
3. Tap a template to begin creating.

How to create a delivery menu

1. Tap Menu on the left of the SecretSauce platform.
2. Tap New Menu on the top right then Delivery App. Choose the relevant delivery app: Deliveroo, DoorDash, Foodpanda, GrabFood, Uber Eats, Other.
3. Tap Add Dishes to begin setting up the menu. You can upload dishes from a PDF, paste a website link, or add a dish manually. You can also choose from existing dishes you've already saved to SecretSauce.
4. Fill in all the dish details like type, name, category, price, weight, allergens, ingredients, and more.
5. Make sure to add a photo to each dish. You can either upload one yourself or generate them with SecretSauce. To generate them with SecretSauce, tap Generate Photos on the top right.
6. Once it's done generating, tap Review on the top to manually check the photos. If you're unhappy with a specific photo, tap it to redo or discard it. If you're happy, tap Approve.
7. Tap Use this Menu on the top right then choose Export.
8. Upload your dish photos to your app delivery of choice.

Tips for generating menus

• Fix a price or swap a photo in Menu first, then regenerate, both exports pull live from your dish list, so don't edit the output by hand.
• Use the Food listing photos shortcut (under Content ideas) when you only need photos resized to delivery-app specs, without a full menu redesign.
