Bring the menu you already have
Nobody wants to retype 80 drinks. TasteMind imports your existing menu from a link or a PDF: it reads sections, item names, descriptions and prices into a draft, pre-matches each drink to a taste preset, and lets you review and edit everything before a single item goes live.
From a link or a PDF
Paste the URL of your current menu page, or upload the menu PDF — drag and drop, or paste a link to the file. The parser handles real-world menus: multi-column layouts, dot leaders, stacked name/description/price blocks, kr. and € prices, bare numbers, and glass/bottle price pairs like “45/190” or serving-labelled variants.
Deterministic — your menu, verbatim
The import is rule-based reading, not generative AI: names, descriptions and prices are extracted as they appear, never rewritten or invented. Anything that can't be read with confidence is left for you in the review step — not silently guessed.
Review before it goes live
The import lands as a draft. Include or exclude items, rename sections, edit names, descriptions, item types, ABV and prices, and swap the matched taste preset — then commit. You choose whether to import product photos and whether the new menu becomes active immediately.
Taste profiles from day one
Each imported drink is matched to one of 89 style presets, so the guest quiz works immediately. Where the menu states ABV or IBU, TasteMind sharpens the profile automatically — a 9% imperial IPA lands noticeably bolder than a 4.5% session ale.
What the importer reads
- Websites and PDFs. Menu pages on your website and text-based PDF menus — the export from your designer works.
- Real-world price formats. Glass/bottle pairs like 45/190, serving-labelled variants, kr., € and bare numbers with dot leaders.
- Sections and layout. Multi-column PDFs, stacked layouts and section headers are recognized, not mangled.
- Presets pre-matched. Every drink arrives with a taste preset, so recommendations work from day one.
- ABV/IBU sharpening. A stated ABV or IBU automatically tunes the matched taste profile.
- Nothing publishes unreviewed. The import stays a draft until you commit it.
How importing works
- 1Paste a link or drop a PDF. TasteMind fetches and parses the menu in seconds.
- 2Review the draft. Fix a price, rename a section, exclude the lunch specials, adjust a preset.
- 3Commit. Items, sections, prices and taste profiles land in your venue — make the menu active whenever you're ready.

Menu import FAQ
Which formats can TasteMind import?
A link to a menu page on your website, or a PDF menu — uploaded or linked. The PDF must contain real text (almost all designer exports do); scanned images and photos aren't supported yet.
Will the import change my prices or descriptions?
No. Extraction is deterministic — items are read as written, never rewritten. Everything is editable in the review step, and nothing is published until you commit.
The link to my menu won't load — now what?
Some menu hosts block automated fetching. If a link won't load, paste the page contents instead — the same parser reads pasted text. PDF upload always works locally.
Do imported drinks get taste profiles?
Yes — every drink is matched to one of 89 style presets during import (editable in the review step), and a stated ABV or IBU sharpens the profile automatically. The guest quiz works from the first scan.
Can I import from a spreadsheet?
Yes — alongside link and PDF import there's a bulk CSV path if you keep your list in a spreadsheet.
