Upload a simple menu. The Copilot reads dishes and prices from it and suggests allergens. You check the suggestions and adopt suitable items. Then you manage your menu centrally for guests, printing and the connected POS.
Working with the module
LidoOS Copilot
Read menu · Compare inventory · Check suggestions
The Copilot reads an uploaded menu, structures dishes and prices and suggests suitable allergens. The comparison shows new and changed items before adoption.
1 · Your simple template
A typed menu as an image or PDF is enough. In this example it contains starters with names, ingredients and prices. Upload it under “Take over/compare menu”. This example is an excerpt; the other existing items are kept by default.
You decide what gets adopted.
2 · The recognised items
For crostini with wheat bread and mozzarella, the Copilot suggests allergens based on the description. You check the selection against your actual ingredients and supplier information. Correct names, descriptions and prices before adopting items. Here, the suggestions are cereals containing gluten (1) and milk (7).
When importing a menu you check the draft before adoption. Bulk translation, on the other hand, fills empty target fields directly; existing texts are only replaced with the overwrite option. The shown template and all dishes belong to the fictional demo restaurant.
Show guests the menu
Guests open the menu via the QR code at the table. They see the published dishes, descriptions, prices and allergen information in the available languages. With the website builder the menu also gets its own neutral page with a selectable design that you link on Google, Bing and in portals.
Manage dishes
Manage name, description, prices and allergens for each item. For different sizes you can store multiple prices. Variants and option groups provide additional selection options. You decide which details guests and staff see.
Organise the menu
Organise your items into sections and categories. In the editor you select a category and edit the associated dishes directly next to it. You can change the order and deactivate items that are no longer available.
Control channels
In the channel overview you decide where an item should be visible: for example on the menu, in the POS or in quick sales. Rules can be inherited from the section or category and overridden specifically for individual items.
Daily and weekly menu
Create daily, weekly or seasonal menus from your items. Set validity and output channels. This way you can prepare a time-limited offer for the QR menu, as a separate menu or for printing.
Create a print template
The PDF generator turns your items into a ready print template: choose format, language and categories, assign categories to pages in the page plan, an AI suggestion helps with the distribution. Hand the PDF to a print shop or print it yourself and put a proper menu on the table. When a price changes, you generate the menu again. Check the preview before printing.
Menu and POS
With POS connection set up, Nova provides the published items to the POS. Items created only at the POS come back via a separate entry.
Create items with images, descriptions and prices. Sort categories, duplicate items and control visibility.
Use variant and option groups for sizes, versions and additions, with their corresponding prices.
Maintain translations and allergen information. Your team checks accuracy; missing information is not an automatic assurance of safety.
Generate table codes as PNG or SVG, renew or revoke links and prepare printed displays.
Build, duplicate and publish special selections using existing or additional items.
Preview PDF menus and prepare digital display output through paired devices and special menus.
Exchange CSV or JSON. The import assistant extracts existing documents for review and reconciliation before you apply the data.
Choose where items appear while retaining them in the central catalogue.
The active POS connection transfers supported items, prices, variants and options. The AI waiter uses maintained menu context; transfer depends on configuration.
What you need to get started
Provide complete item and price data, checked translations and allergen information. POS requires an active connection; screens need paired devices. A QR menu alone does not place an order or take payment.
The limits
Allergen information requires reliable ingredient and supplier details. AI suggestions do not replace these details. The QR menu, printing and POS use their respective approvals; the POS connection must be set up. A digital menu alone is not yet an ordering or payment system.
Packages
The menu module is included in Starter, Professional and Enterprise. AI usage, additional modules and POS connection depend on activation and package scope. Current terms can be found in the shop.
