  3. Drop photos or a PDF onto the upload area, up to eight files, and click Extract items. Large brochures can take up to a minute.

  4. Review the list. Each row has a Type (Service, Package or Product), a Name, Category, Price and duration or MRP. Fix anything the reader got wrong. Rows already in your catalogue are ticked off with an in catalog chip.

  5. Untick what you do not want and click the import button.

In the app

  1. On Services, tap Import in the row of buttons at the top, then Add using AI.

  3. Review the list, untick what you do not want and tap Import {{count}}.

The phone's camera makes this the quickest way to load a printed menu: photograph each page and extract.

What to expect

  • Tiered prices (Short / Medium / Long) become separate rows.
  • Products found on the menu come in as products, not services.
  • Packages come in as drafts. Open each one afterwards and give it sessions and validity in the package builder.
  • The importer flags a brochure it could not read fully, or prices that look like another currency.
