How to create a restaurant QR menu with AI
Duck Hub MCP allows ChatGPT, Claude and other AI assistants to create a complete restaurant menu directly inside Duck Hub. Describe your dishes in a chat — your AI builds the categories, prices, photos and translations, then publishes a QR menu your guests can scan.
Works with your favorite AI assistants
AI menu generator for restaurants
Duck Hub hosts an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server — the open standard AI assistants use to work with external services. Once connected, your assistant sees Duck Hub as a set of ready-made menu tools and manages everything from a conversation.
Full menu structure
The AI creates categories and dishes with names, descriptions and prices — from a pasted list, a PDF menu or a plain conversation.
Photos, banners & logo
Your assistant sets product photos, promo banners and your venue logo, so the menu looks finished — not just filled in.
Menu translations
Ask the AI to translate your menu into other languages — guests pick their language on the same QR menu.
Publish when ready
Nothing is guest-visible until the AI publishes. Every publish keeps a rollback snapshot, so you can always go back one step.
Two ways to connect your AI
Both methods use the same hosted endpoint — there is nothing to install or run. Pick the one that matches how you use AI.

Build a QR menu using AI in 5 minutes
This is how to create a digital menu in 5 minutes — from an empty account to a published QR menu.
Create a free Duck Hub account
Sign up and add your venue. The free plan already includes the digital menu and AI-agent access — no card required.
Connect your AI assistant
In ChatGPT, claude.ai or Grok, add Duck Hub as a connector and sign in. In Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, add the MCP URL with your API key.
Ask the AI to build your menu
Paste your menu text, upload a PDF, or just describe your dishes. The assistant creates the categories, dishes and prices for you and shows what it did.
Publish and share your QR menu
Say “publish my menu” — the AI makes it live. Print the QR code from Duck Hub and guests scan straight to your digital menu.
Ready-made prompts to digitize your menu
Copy any of these into a connected ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or terminal agent — they map to what restaurant owners ask most.
Build a menu from a list
“Build my restaurant menu in Duck Hub from this list — create the categories and add every dish with its price: [paste your dishes]”
Convert a PDF menu into a digital menu
“Here is my current menu as a PDF. Convert it into my Duck Hub digital menu — keep the same categories, dishes and prices.”
Add dishes and translate
“Add these 10 dishes with prices to my Duck Hub menu, then translate the whole menu into Spanish.”
Publish the menu
“Review my Duck Hub menu draft and publish it so guests can see it.”
