Digitise Your Menu in Minutes – with AI

June 22, 2026 · DiKAS Team · 4 min read

The most annoying part of switching to a new POS system? Entering the menu. Every item, every price, every side dish, plus the allergens – that quickly eats up an entire day. This is exactly where DiKAS takes the work off your hands.

Drop in a photo or PDF – get a finished item list out

With the AI menu import, you simply upload your existing menu as a photo or PDF. The AI reads it and automatically creates:

  • Items with prices – cleanly named and assigned to the right group
  • Options and side dishes – “small/large”, “with fries or salad”, extras including surcharge
  • Allergens – recognised and mapped to the EU codes (A–N)

Instead of typing for hours, your POS is ready to go in minutes.

Review, adjust, get started

The AI does most of the work – you stay in control. After the import, you see the recognised items, review them briefly and tweak the small things. Then the menu is live. No empty system that makes you give up, but a finished starting point.

Why this is more than convenience

  • Faster start: The most common reason to put off a POS switch disappears.
  • Fewer errors: No typos in prices, no forgotten allergens.
  • Allergens from the start: You meet the labelling requirement right away – cleanly mapped to EU codes.

Handy for upkeep too

New menu for the season? Just import it again instead of changing everything by hand. That keeps the menu up to date without turning into a project every time.

Conclusion

The menu no longer has to be a hurdle. Upload it, let the AI do the grunt work, review it briefly – and start ringing up sales. That’s what a modern start feels like.
