ChatGPT for Restaurants: Instructions for Menus, Promotions, and Guests

Formulating Menu Text

Using ChatGPT for restaurants usually starts with the menu. Good descriptions mention the main ingredient, preparation method, and side dish without exaggeration. The more precise your instruction, the more useful the draft:

• "Write a description for our veal Wiener Schnitzel with parsley potatoes and lingonberries. Maximum 15 words, factual, no superlatives."
• "Here are my ten main dishes with ingredients. Write one line for each in the same style."
• "Shorten this description; it should fit in two lines on a mobile phone."

Check every description: ChatGPT often adds details you didn't mention, such as origin or an ingredient.

Daily Specials and Promotions

For changing offers, ChatGPT saves primarily on formulation work:

• "Formulate the daily special: vegetable cream soup, roast pork with dumplings and cabbage. Short, without exclamation marks."
• “Write a notice for our happy hour from 17:00 to 19:00, with the conditions in one sentence.”
• "Make three variants from this text for an Instagram post."

Prepare responses to reviews

Responding to reviews takes time and sometimes nerves. ChatGPT can write a calm, factual draft: "Here is a review. Write a polite response that thanks the reviewer for the feedback and addresses the long wait time, without making excuses." Read the draft, add what only you know, and send the response yourself.

Have the menu changed directly

Up to this point, ChatGPT only provides text that you enter yourself. With a connection to Same-QR, it goes further: via the MCP server at https://sameqr.com/api/mcp, ChatGPT connects to your account. You log in to Same-QR via OAuth and grant access.

After that, ChatGPT can directly edit your hosted menu and other guest pages, such as a page with opening hours, an action page, or a page with all links. An example: "Enter the daily special into the menu and show me the menu before you publish it." The QR code at the table remains the same because it only points to the address of the menu.

What you should not give up

• Allergen information depends on recipes and suppliers; ChatGPT cannot know them.
• Prices: Check every price change yourself before publishing.
• Sending responses to reviews.
• Personal data of guests does not belong in the chat.
• Deleting codes or pages. Always ask for a follow-up question.
