Launching a new food delivery service or restaurant on a marketplace can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to setting up menus and catalogs. But with Playfood's powerful import and export feature, we make this process quick and seamless, saving both time and money for managers at all levels.
Why is this feature a game changer?
Our import and export feature is designed to simplify the complex task of building your restaurant's or store's menu/catalog. Whether you're a restaurant manager or a food delivery marketplace operator, this feature dramatically reduces the time and effort required for a successful launch. And when time is saved, costs go down too!
Here's how it works in two easy steps:
Restaurant managers or vendors fill out a CSV template with key details such as item names, descriptions, prices, and images.
Once completed, upload the CSV to your restaurant profile. The menu/catalog is instantly available to customers.
That's it. Just two simple steps and your entire menu is live.
However, before uploading, make sure the classifier - which categorizes your items - is set up to ensure smooth operation.
The Essential Columns in the Chart Template
Now, let’s break down the key components of the CSV template so you can understand how it’s structured for easy use:

Unique identifier for each item (usually provided by the vendor)
Menu section, like "Burgers" or "Falafels"
Specify hours when certain sections are available
Language specifications (select the language of the platform, learn more about language settings here)
Item name (how it should be presented on the marketplace)
Detailed description of the menu item
The cost of the item
Link to the image of the item
Item weight for those that need this specification
Additional attributes like options and customization
The template also allows for the inclusion of item options.
