Know your columns
Every detail has its place.
Names, prices and categories are required. Add the other columns to build a more useful menu. Each file can contain up to 500 items and be up to 2 MB.
| Column | What to enter | Example |
|---|---|---|
name | Item name | Classic Cheeseburger |
price | Number with up to two decimal places. Currency follows your restaurant settings. | 12.99 |
category | Use the same spelling for items in the same category. | Sandwiches |
description | A useful dish description. Keep commas inside quoted CSV fields. | Beef patty, American cheese and pickles. |
spice_level | 0 = none · 1 = mild · 2 = medium · 3 = hot. Describes the dish, not an individual guest’s order choice. | 0 |
image_url | A public HTTPS link directly to your dish photo. The CSV references the image; it does not embed a picture. | https://your-website.com/burger.jpg |
show_image_in_pos | Show the photo in Restaurant POS. Use true or false. | true |
show_image_in_floor | Show the photo in the separate Taply Floor app. Use true or false. | true |
