Importing Menu Items in NX Restaurant
The NX Restaurant portal allows you to import menu items in bulk using a CSV file. This can be especially useful during initial venue setup, seasonal menu changes, or when managing multiple locations.
Accessing the Import Page
To begin the import process:
Navigate to Configuration > Import from the left-side menu. You will land on the import screen where you can upload a menu item file and view import history.
Importing Menu Item Data
- On the Import screen, select the Type as NX Menu Item CSV.
- Click Choose File and upload your completed CSV file.
- Select Import to process the file.
File Template
To ensure a successful import, use the official NX Restaurant menu item CSV template. You can make a copy or download it using the link below:
Make sure to follow the format exactly, including any required fields and valid values for dropdown-based selections.
Note: Any items imported will automatically link to existing configuration elements such as Sales Categories, Tax Groups, Routing Groups, or Menu Categories if the names match existing records. If they do not already exist in the dataset, they will be created automatically during import.
Modifier Categories can also be imported and attached to Menu Items. You can import up to 99 Modifier Categories for a single Menu Items. This is provided by the Modifier Category 1, Modifier Category 2, Modifier Category 3... etc columns of the import file. Minimum, Maximum & Free are also supported as per-modifier category importable columns.
Viewing Import History
You can view previously uploaded import jobs and their statuses on the Import history screen. This section will show:
- Type of import
- Status (Success or Error)
- Date and time imported
- Job ID
Use this section to verify whether a file was successfully imported or to troubleshoot any failed uploads.
