How to Add a Menu to Your Facebook Business Page

Most restaurateurs already know to include their menus on many business review sites, but it is absolutely vital to take time to add your menu to your Facebook Page.

Adding a menu to your Facebook Page doesn’t just complete a restaurant’s online presence; it’s also a valuable method of customer acquisition. Potential customers who otherwise may not know about your restaurant outside of Facebook can easily browse your menu and make a better-informed dining decision based on your offerings.

Before adding a menu to your Facebook Page make sure you take steps to learn how to claim your Facebook business page. You won’t be able to add a menu without doing this first.

How to Add and Edit Your Menu on a Facebook Page

To add a menu, you’ll need to go to your Facebook business Page by clicking on the “Pages” tab on the left side of the screen. Once you are at your restaurant’s Page:

  1. Click on “About” on the left side of the screen.
  2. Under the “More Info” section, click on “Add Menu.”
  3. Choose to upload a photo or PDF file of your menu.
  4. Click “Confirm” when your menu is uploaded.

Once uploaded, you can add further details to your menu, including pickup, delivery, and payment options. You can also include information about the specific type of food offered at your restaurant. If you want to edit your menu, just follow the same instructions above.

As you are adding your menu, keep in mind the following menu guidelines set by Facebook. Failure to follow these guidelines could mean the removal of your menu from your Page.

How to Delete A Menu from Your Facebook Page

You also have the option to remove a menu on your Facebook Page in a few easy steps.

  1. Go to the “About” tab on the left-hand side menu on the Page.
  2. Scroll down to the “More Info” section and hover over the “See Menu” link and then click the “Edit” link.
  3. Click on the X on the top right corner of the photo or PDF menu you uploaded to delete it.

  2. Click “View QR code” to see the code.
  3. Click “Download” to prepare it for sharing.

Why Learn How to Add Menus on Your Facebook Page?

Having restaurant menus on a Facebook Page is a crucial part of elevating the customer experience for new and returning diners alike. Customer reviews data shows that 93% of consumers will look at a menu before dining out. Furthermore, 77% of diners prefer peer reviews over critic reviews when it comes to choosing a restaurant, and Facebook and Google combined hold 76% of all reviews.

In other words, people are looking to these sites in large numbers to make an informed decision before they dine. By adding a menu to your Facebook business Page on top of showing Facebook reviews, you can provide consumers immediate relevant information, so that they don’t disengage from your Page and search elsewhere.

New feature for Facebook pages

Home Social networks Facebook New feature for Facebook pages - menu

Good afternoon, friends! Today I have great news for the owners of restaurants, cafes and other catering establishments. A couple of hours ago, Facebook announced new feature that appeared on the pages - menu .

According to Facebook, more and more users use its search to find a place nearby where you can eat well or just relax with friends. By the way, just recently I got a Russian-language social search on Facebook (Open Graph), which allows you to find restaurants nearby in just one click !

If you want to try the new search in action (if you haven't got it yet), then sign up for testing the Russian-language beta version here.

So, back to the topic. Now every owner of the pages of restaurants, cafes and bars will be able to download their menu in pdf format. This feature is available to all users except those in the US and Canada, who can only create menus through the dedicated SinglePlatform app, which costs no less than $79/month. For some century, users outside of the US have had a bit more luck :))

It's actually very easy to do. In order for the menu function to be available to you, your page must belong to category Restaurant/Cafe . If you don't know how to change page category, read here.

Follow the instructions below:

  1. Go to page editor "Edit page" ;
  2. Select "Update page information" ;
  3. Click on " Menu " and download the pdf file;
  4. Save.

How do you like the new feature? Will you use it on your page?

Update 06/08/2014 The menu option is now available on the pages of the place category "Food / Grocery". In the new page design, the menu can be loaded very simply by clicking on " Add Menu" in the "Info" block in the left column.

Next, simply download the PDF file. Facebook allows us to upload a file of only 1 MB, so the menu should be simple, without “heavy” pictures. After you upload the menu, it will become available for viewing by all users.
