What it touches
Draft OCR item names, prices, categories, and source lines before catalog save.
Owner / operator side / Operator-side prototype
Scan a paper menu
The restaurant can scan a paper menu into draft catalog rows before a human review.
For a pizzeria
Useful when a shop starts from a printed takeaway card instead of rebuilding the whole menu by hand.
Where it fits
What the shop uses behind the counter
These are the restaurant-side tools for menu control, kitchen flow, stock, printing, and fallback alerts.
This page is the readable P4P explanation for one module. It is meant to be understandable before you open the raw manifest.
What it does not own
It does not become catalog truth by itself and it is not a customer-facing menu.
Current state
Operator-side prototype
available in the pilot-node operator dashboard when enabled alongside the catalog editor
Current declared data-access summary: Draft item ids, names, prices, categories, and OCR source lines. Operator-only; does not write catalog truth by itself.
Read next
Do not stop at one module page.
See the catalog truth surface next
The OCR helper only creates drafts. The real local source of truth still lives in the catalog editor.
Then see the public result
After the operator reviews and saves imported items, the simplest customer-facing result is the plain online menu.
