Can Codex create a restaurant menu?

Yes, Codex can create a restaurant menu. Connect the Duck Hub MCP server with a dk_live_ API key from your Duck Hub Integrations page — Codex then gets ready-made menu tools and can build your complete menu (categories, dishes, prices, photos, translations) directly inside Duck Hub and publish it as a QR menu.

Do I need to code to create a menu with Codex?

No. The setup is pasting one URL (and for terminal tools an API key); after that you write plain messages like “add a Pizza category with these 8 items” and Codex does the rest inside Duck Hub.

How long does it take to create a digital menu with Codex?

About 5 minutes for a typical menu: connecting Codex takes a minute, then it builds the menu from your list or PDF in one go, and you publish. Bigger menus with photos and several translation languages take a little longer.

Is it free to create a menu with Codex and Duck Hub?

Yes. Duck Hub's free plan includes the digital QR menu and AI-agent access through MCP, so Codex can build and publish your menu at no cost. Only the order-management tools require a paid plan.

How to create a QR menu for your restaurant with Codex

Duck Hub MCP lets Codex — OpenAI's coding agent — build a complete digital menu for your restaurant. One config.toml block with your API key — then Codex creates the categories, prices, photos and translations, and publishes your QR code menu.

A digital menu built by Codex

Duck Hub hosts an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server — the open standard AI tools use to work with external services. Once connected, Codex sees Duck Hub as a set of ready-made menu tools and manages your whole menu from a conversation.

Full menu structure

Codex creates categories and dishes with names, descriptions and prices — from a pasted list, a PDF menu or a plain conversation.

Photos, banners & logo

Codex sets product photos, promo banners and your venue logo, so the menu looks finished — not just filled in.

Menu translations

Ask Codex to translate your menu into other languages — guests pick their language on the same QR menu.

Publish when ready

Nothing is guest-visible until Codex publishes. Every publish keeps a rollback snapshot, so you can always go back one step.

Connect Codex to Duck Hub

The Duck Hub MCP server is hosted — there is nothing to install or run.
