What is the Instant Menu Maker?
Instant Menu Maker is a web form that converts your text inputs into a styled HTML menu through the process_llm_form API. No design software is needed.
How does the workflow look?
You submit the form, the server renders the menu, and the result displays instantly with a one-click copy option. The browser never stores your data.
How often can I refresh my menu?
Update daily if needed; 85 % of restaurants change at least one item monthly (National Restaurant Association, 2021).
Can I integrate dietary icons?
Add tags like “🌱 Vegan” or “GF” in the item text. The generator keeps your emojis and abbreviations intact.
Does it support multiple languages?
Yes. Enter any Unicode characters—Spanish, Mandarin, or Arabic—and the output preserves them for bilingual menus.
How do I export the file?
After copying the HTML, paste it into Word, InDesign, or your CMS. Most systems accept raw HTML snippets (Adobe HelpX, 2023).
Does the tool save previous versions?
No internal storage exists. Save each output locally to maintain version history.
Is the service free?
Current beta access is free. A tiered plan—estimated $10/month for unlimited menus—is under consideration (Company Roadmap, 2024).
