4 Ways to Create Your Menu
Whether you start from a PDF upload, photos, pasted text, a website, or a blank builder — MenuHoster adapts to your workflow.
Upload a PDF or Photos
Already have a designed menu? Upload a PDF, JPG, PNG, or WebP and MenuHoster can publish it as-is or extract items into an editable menu.
Paste Menu Text
Copy your menu from a document, email, or old website. Our importer detects sections, item names, prices, and descriptions for quick review.
Build from Scratch
Use our drag-and-drop menu builder to create sections, add items with prices, descriptions, and photos. No design software required.
Import from a Website
Provide a menu URL and MenuHoster pulls in readable menu content, with screenshot-based extraction as a fallback for visual menu pages.
