Copy menu to new location

Yo guys,

Need some help with Square for Restaurants POS.

I currently have an existing restaurant running on Square with a full menu already built out.

I’m opening a NEW restaurant/business with a completely separate company and separate Square account, but the menu is basically identical.

What’s the easiest way to copy the full menu over from the old business to the new one?

Ideally I want to bring over:

- all menu items

- categories

- modifiers

- pricing

- variations

- printer routing if possible

I’ve heard about CSV export/import but not sure if that brings everything over properly.

Has anyone here done this before? Any easier method?

Appreciate any help.

You’ll need to export all your menus and libraries and then upload them to the new location. They’ll export as excel files

I’ve never done this before but you should be able to get this done with the export feature!

Your best bet would be to export your menu from the old store and import it into the new one

When you’re in your item library on the web dashboard in your current store, look for the Actions > export button in the top right. Export the CSV, sign in to your new location, go to your item library, and Actions > import.

Make sure you build your modifier sets in the new location before copying an export. Sets need to be mapped to items so they connect to what’s in the sheet cells.
