Bulk edit and CSV import

Two tools on the Menu page save you from editing items one by one: Bulk Edit (spreadsheet-style editing of what's already there) and CSV import (bringing a whole menu in from a file). Use the first for price rounds, the second for day one or a full seasonal rewrite.

Bulk Edit: many changes, one screen

1. Open Menu in the sidebar and choose Bulk edit.
2. Your items appear as an editable table: name, description, price, availability.
3. Change as many cells as you need — raise prices, fix typos, switch dishes off for the season.
4. Save once. All changes go live together, within about 2 minutes.

CSV import: from spreadsheet to menu

The import accepts a CSV file with exactly three columns: name, description, price.

1. Open Menu and choose CSV import.
2. Download the template and fill it in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers — one row per dish.
3. Export/save as CSV and upload it.
4. Review and confirm. The items are created and go live within about 2 minutes.

After importing, finish the items in the dashboard: assign categories, add photos, tag allergens, and create options — those don't travel through the CSV.

CSV export

The CSV export downloads your current items as a spreadsheet. Use it as:

• a backup before big changes,
• a worksheet — adjust prices in a spreadsheet with your accountant, then re-enter the winners via Bulk Edit,
• a handoff to a consultant or translator working outside MenuKlik.

Best practices

• Keep descriptions in the CSV short — you'll polish them later in the editor, where you can see how they wrap on a phone.
• Use plain numbers in the price column (e.g. 12.50) — currency symbols belong to your menu's currency setting, not the file. See Currencies and pricing.
• Import in category-sized batches if your menu is huge — it keeps the post-import cleanup (categories, photos) manageable.

Troubleshooting

• The file won't import. Make sure it's saved as CSV (not .xlsx), uses the template's three columns, and has a name for every row.
• Prices came in wrong. Check for thousands separators or currency symbols in the price column — use 1250.00, not $1,250.
• Import stopped partway. You likely hit your plan's item limit — the importer can't exceed it. Remove rows or upgrade, then re-import the rest.
