To help you transcribing pizza menus here are some steps to review first:

  1. Other Categories on the menu will be transcribed as normal

  2. Is there a pizza matrix? Ie, where each item has multiple prices based on sized?

  3. Are there toppings that can be added to a certain item (ie, plain cheese) or to all items?

  4. If there is a list of toppings, do the prices of these vary by size of pizza?

Once you have reviewed these questions you should be able to solve the pizza matrix:

  1. Transcribe other Categories as normal

  2. If there are multiple prices for sizes of pizzas, then set up your pattern to include multiple Price Variances based on size (example above you'd have two Price Variances - 1 for the 'mini 6"' and 1 for the 'medium 12"')

  3. Look towards the top or the bottom of the matrix to see if there is a listing of Toppings. Often this will look like a long list. 

  4. They might have prices associated to each topping, they might have (like this example) a price for each size of pizza.

Dealing with Toppings

Here's the steps for adding toppings, including different prices:

  1. Transcribe first item

  2. On the first price of this item, create a new Extra, dropdown list "Toppings" min: 0, max: as many as you have choices for toppings

  3. After clicking Add Option, these two selections become your best friend!
    🔁 Engages OCR, once you unclick, it'll automatically create the next option so you can click and add the next
    📑Copies the price from the first option to all subsequent options

    4. Click next Price Variance
    5. Then you'll be able to clone your Toppings over to the other Price Variance(s)
   6. If topping prices are different for each Price Variance (size of pizza) then using the last button, if you update the first price in the extra options, then click it, it'll copy down all extra options. Save item

  7. Going back to using your pattern, the next Item you transcribe you will now be able to add the correct toppings extras to each Price Variance using Clone menu - be sure to select the correct price extras for each size.
