Data import (CSV/ZIP)

Import menu data from CSV or ZIP — for migration or bulk maintenance

With Data Import, you can import menu data back into Servire — either as a CSV file (e.g., after bulk processing in Excel) or as a ZIP package (CSV plus images).

When do you use the import function?

  • Migration: You are switching to Serveriça and have your data from the old system as a CSV file.

  • Bulk Maintenance: You have changed prices or item names in Excel and want to restore them.

  • Restore: You want to restore a backup.

  • Branch: You are copying a menu from one restaurant to another.

Perform import

  1. Click the More menu (…) in the upper right corner and select Data Import

  2. Click the upload field or drag and drop your file (.csv or .zip) into it

  3. Click Check Data — the server will validate the file and display a preview

  4. Confirm the import — the new data will be added

Check CSV format

Always use a CSV file previously created with Data Export as a template. The column order and names must match exactly, otherwise the import will reject the file.

Beware of import restrictions

  • The import process creates new items — existing items with the same name will not be overwritten, but duplicated.

  • Before a large import, we recommend creating a backup using Data Export.

  • If unsure, test with a small test CSV file (3-5 items) first.
