Edit your menu by voice: one sentence instead of typing

Mid-service, the Schnitzel is out, fries cost €4.50 starting today, and a new soup is on the table. To edit menu items, you previously had to find the right category in the editor, locate the dish, and overwrite the price. In Same-QR, you can now do this with one sentence: You say or write what should change, and see exactly what happens before saving.

What voice input can do

In the page editor of your menu, there is a field labeled “What should change?”. There, you describe the change in everyday language, via keyboard or microphone. An AI turns this into a list of specific changes to your menu. It is only saved when you confirm the list.

This works for the tasks that constantly arise in your restaurant:

• change a price
• mark a dish as out for today, hide it, or show it again
• add a new dish to a category
• enter a daily special
• show a category only at certain times, such as the lunch menu

How to edit your menu step by step

• 1. Open your menu in the “Menus” tab.
• 2. In the “What should change?” field, type your sentence or tap the microphone (“Speak”) and say it. Tap the microphone again to stop listening.
• 3. Tap “Apply”. After a few seconds, the list of changes will appear under “I’ll change this”.
• 4. Review the list. Deselect any changes you do not want.
• 5. Tap “Save 1 change” or “Save N changes”.
• 6. If your menu is already online, deliver the changes to your guests as usual by tapping “Publish changes”.

Voice recognition is handled by your browser, via Google in Chrome and via Apple in Safari. If the microphone is blocked in your browser, simply type the sentence instead. The result is the same.

Example sentences that work

You don’t need to learn any commands. A sentence like the one you’d say to a waiter is enough:

• “Fries are now €4.50”
• “The Schnitzel is out today”
• “New daily special: Pumpkin soup €6.90, with pumpkin seed oil”
• “Add Almdudler 0.5 l for €3.80 to the drinks”
• “Lunch menu only until 14:00”

Multiple changes in one sentence are also possible. For long lists, however, two short sentences in sequence are more reliable than one run-on sentence.

Clarifying questions instead of guessing

If a sentence is ambiguous, for example because there are two Schnitzel on the menu, a “Quick question” appears. You simply write the answer as a new sentence in the field. If the AI finds nothing to change, it will say so, for example because the price is already on the menu.

Translations and Undo

“Undo” appears immediately after saving. Tap it, and the menu returns to its previous state.

If you have translated your menu into other languages, one rule applies: New texts are not yet translated. At the bottom, under “Translation”, tap “Translate again” until then; guests will see the original text at that point. Prices are never translated; a price change takes effect immediately in every language.

For whom and from which plan

Voice input is included in plans starting from Gastro Starter (€5.90 excl. VAT per month) and Marketing Starter. In the Free plan, you can try it out with three test changes. Each change uses your account’s AI credit. How much is left this month is shown directly on the field.

The printed QR code remains the same throughout. It always points to the current version of your menu.

Conclusion

For minor adjustments during daily operations, a voice command is faster than any form: speak, review the list, save. Because you see every change before it goes live, nothing reaches your guests unchecked. You can start for free on sameqr.com and test the voice input with three trial edits.
