From PDF to a live TTMenus menu

Leave the PDF behind

A PDF is a file. A live menu is a product guests can open, search, and tap. Migrate once, then stop sending the old file.

From PDF to a live TTMenus menu | TTMenus educational guide

In 30 seconds

  • List every place you still send a PDF or screenshot.
  • Publish the same items on TTMenus with prices.
  • Replace each old file link with the live URL the same day.

Why this matters

A quick visual for busy owners.Replace with a real Menu item editor with photo and price screenshot when ready.

PDFs pinch on phones, go stale, and cannot show sold-out states.

A live TTMenus menu can.

Migration order

  1. Bestsellers and core categories
  2. Prices and contact path
  3. Photos
  4. Delete or unpublish the PDF everywhere

Recommendation

Retire the file

Once the live menu matches the shop, remove PDF links from bios and WhatsApp replies so guests never land on yesterday’s prices.

Then make the PDF impossible to find.
