Tweeting your menu on Twitter

After you sync your menu in the Live-Sync display, you can tweet it as well. Just click the Tweet button and follow the Twitter prompts (the Tweet button is located on the Live-Sync screen, after clicking more ...). If you update your menu, remember to sync first before tweeting so your followers get the latest version of your menu.

Adding your menu to Google Business Profile

Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is a great way keep your business information accurate on the web - including your menus. If you don’t already have an account you should sign up HERE today. It’s free and adding your menu link to your business page is free as well.

Google My Business Menu

If you run a restaurant, or business with a menu of services, previously Google added a Menu link pulled from partnering companies that scrape the web looking for website menus. This practice quickly led to frustration among business owners because the scraped menus were almost always out-of-date with stale items. And the only way for the owners to change them was to pay the partnering companies (monthly) to update their very own menus. This is sort of like someone throwing a brick through your storefront window and then charging you to fix it.

After receiving many complaints, Google took notice and now lets you change the Google Menu link (Menu URL) to the actual menu on your website instead of the scraped menu.

  1. On your computer, sign in to Google Business.

  2. Choose the location you’d like to manage.

  3. On the left, click Info and then find the Menu Link Add URL.

  4. Add your menu link (this will be the link to your website page where you have the iMenupro live-sync menu embedded).

  5. Alternately, if you don’t have a website, you can the use your QR menu Public Link.

  6. Click Apply.

Google My Business Menu URL

Once your Menu Link is added, any updates to your website menu - via iMenuPro live-sync - will be immediately available to your customers who found you through Google.

Adding your menu to Yelp

Yelp also lets you add a menu link to your Yelp business page.

Here’s how

  1. Claim your business on Yelp if you have not already done so - it’s FREE HERE

  2. Find the Edit Business Info link on your business page and click it.

  3. Find the Menu Web Address field and enter your menu URL from your website - it will be something like https://www.myrestaurant.com/menu.html This would be the website page where you’ve added the live-sync embed code, but not the embed code itself - just the website page URL.

  4. Alternately, if you don’t have a website, you can the use your QR menu Public Link. 5. That’s it! Now any updates to your website menu - via iMenuPro live-sync - will be immediately available to your customers on Yelp.

Adding your menu to Tripadvisor

Tripadvisor also lets you add a menu link to your managed listing page.

Here’s how

  1. Log into your Tripadvisor Management Center.

  2. Click “Manage Listing”

  3. Select “Menu” from the drop-down menu.

  4. Type or copy and paste your menu URL from your website - it will be something like https://www.myrestaurant.com/menu.html This would be the website page where you’ve added the live-sync embed code, but not the embed code itself - just the website page URL.

  5. Alternately, if you don’t have a website, you can the use your QR menu Public Link.

  6. Click “Submit.” That’s it! Now any updates to your website menu - via iMenuPro live-sync - will be immediately available to your customers on Tripadvisor.

Adding your menu to Facebook

As of March 2020, in the middle of a global pandemic when restaurants needed help the most, Facebook made the decision to stop supporting links to website menus on their platform (which could include live-sync menus). Even though Google and Yelp managed to do so without issue, Facebook apparently could not. Later they also removed PDF menus, which were convenient for users since they could contain multiple menu pages in one file.

As of this writing, they only allow photo images (JPG menus) to be added via their new Menu tab feature, which is accessible form the More tabs on your Facebook restaurant page. If your menu is more than one page, you’ll need to upload multiple images. They’ve also added some new fields such as cuisine type, payment methods accepted, etc.

A QR code is now offered as well, but we highly recommend iMenuPro’s built-in QR menu code link instead as that links to your actual live-sync QR menu, which updates automatically whenever your menu changes.

Facebook add menu

So for Facebook, you’ll need to update your menu images there, manually, whenever your menu changes. You can use iMenuPro to create the JPG menu images (see below).
