## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Using my uploaded menu, redesign it as an illustrated menu with a realistic, appetizing photo of each dish next to its name. Keep every dish name, description, and price exactly as written on the original. Don't add or remove any items. Show each dish the way it'd really be served, plated on [PLATE STYLE, e.g. simple white ceramic] and photographed from a slight overhead angle in soft natural light. Layout: [NUMBER OF COLUMNS, e.g. 2] columns, clear section headings like "[SECTION NAMES, e.g. Starters, Mains, Desserts]", and a header that says "[RESTAURANT OR CAFE NAME]". Style: [MENU STYLE, e.g. warm rustic bistro, cream paper]. Make all text crisp and easy to read.
```

## Step by step

1. Snap a clear photo of the menu, or paste the text.
2. Paste the prompt.
3. For a real business menu, check every name and price before you print.

## What you'll get

A full menu page with a photo beside every dish, the original names and prices intact, in a clean, appetizing layout.
