Import menus instead of typing them

Most merchants already have a menu online. Importing it takes minutes instead of hours, and it is the fastest way to bring many merchants on board.

Where: Connect › Importers

Your import options

Source	What you need
Uber Eats	The store's public Uber Eats link.
DoorDash	The store's public DoorDash link.
GloriaFood	The restaurant key and master key, created in the merchant's GloriaFood account as a menu integration.
Another Ordering.co platform	The store's link on that platform.
Excel or CSV	A spreadsheet in the importer's format, or rows pasted into Spreadsheet Mode (Chapter 14).
Square POS	The merchant connects Square and syncs the menu (Chapter 23).

Import from Uber Eats, DoorDash, or GloriaFood

1. Create the store first (Chapter 13), with an empty menu.
2. Go to Connect › Importers and pick the store.
3. Choose the source card and follow the short video on the screen.
4. Paste the link or the keys and start the import.
5. Review the menu in the store's products: prices, options, and photos.

Watch out

• A success message does not guarantee every item came across. Always check the menu after importing.
• Do not start the same import twice while it is running, or you may get duplicates.
• Treat GloriaFood keys like passwords.
• Imported prices are the merchant's delivery-app prices, which are often higher than in-store prices. Ask the merchant which prices they want on your marketplace.

People often ask

"Can I import from Just Eat or another app not listed?"

Not directly today. Export the menu to a spreadsheet and use the spreadsheet route, or ask support whether a new importer is planned.

Real scenario: Moving from GloriaFood

A café owner in South Africa was taking orders through GloriaFood, which Oracle is retiring. On his onboarding call he created his store, opened Connect › Importers, generated the two keys in his GloriaFood dashboard, and his full menu arrived in a few minutes. He spent his time on photos instead of retyping products.
