The Media Upload System allows restaurant staff to manage the visual assets displayed throughout the menu.
While menu content such as titles, descriptions, and prices is managed through Google Sheets, images and motion assets are managed separately through the Media Upload System. This separation allows menu content and visual presentation to be maintained independently while remaining connected within the live menu experience.
The upload system is designed to simplify media replacement. Restaurant staff can update images and motion assets without editing website files, modifying layouts, or changing menu structure.
The Media Upload System supports:
Each uploaded asset is connected to a specific menu screen.
When a new asset is uploaded to a menu screen, the previous asset assigned to that screen is automatically replaced.
This helps keep media management simple and prevents multiple versions of the same asset from accumulating inside the menu system.
The Media Upload System supports the following image formats:
| Format | Supported |
|---|---|
| JPG | Yes |
| JPEG | Yes |
| PNG | Yes |
| WEBP | Yes |
JPG and WEBP are recommended for most food photography because they provide excellent visual quality while maintaining reasonable file sizes.
PNG is most useful for logos, graphic elements, and assets requiring transparency.
Motion assets can be used to introduce movement and atmosphere within the menu experience.
| Format | Supported |
|---|---|
| GIF | Yes |
| MP4 | Intro And Closing Screens |
Animated GIFs are the recommended motion format for most menu editors. They are easy to create, easy to manage, and can be updated from virtually any device without requiring video conversion workflows.
MP4 files are reserved for dedicated video screens such as the introductory and closing menu covers.
The Media Upload System supports uploads up to 100 MB per file.
For the best guest experience, images and motion assets should be optimized before uploading. Smaller files typically load faster on mobile networks while maintaining a smooth browsing experience.
