Menuella for Claude
Connect Menuella to Claude to manage your menu, check orders and sales, and edit your website in a conversation.
Menuella for Claude connects your restaurant to Claude. Once connected, you can ask Claude to show your menu, rewrite dish descriptions, change prices, declare allergens, check today's orders, compare your locations, or update a page on your website.
Claude works with the same data you see in the Dashboard and only does what your Menuella account is allowed to do.
Connect Claude
Menuella is currently in review for Claude's connector directory. Until it is approved it will not appear there; this page will be updated when it does.
- In Claude, click Customize in the left sidebar, open Connectors, then the Discover tab, and find Menuella.
- Click Connect.
- Sign in with your Menuella account — the same email and password you use for the Dashboard.
- Review the permissions on the consent screen and click Allow.
Claude now shows Menuella as connected. Start a new chat and make sure Menuella is switched on for that chat.
If your account manages more than one restaurant, Claude asks which one you mean before it reads or changes anything.
What Claude can do
| Area | What Claude can do |
|---|---|
| Menu | Show products, categories, and option groups; add products; change titles, descriptions, and prices; show or hide a product for all locations or one location; move products between categories; reorder products and categories; edit categories and option groups |
| Allergens and additives | Show and set allergens, additives, dietary labels (such as vegan or halal), and spiciness — for one dish or many at once |

What Claude cannot do
- Change an order's status, cancel or refund an order, or contact your guests.
- Take payments or change payment settings.
- Delete products or categories — it can hide them instead.
- Delete the standard pages of your website.
- Manage staff, accounts, or billing.
Before you ask Claude to change something
- Menu changes are live immediately. New prices, titles, and hidden products are visible to guests as soon as Claude saves them.
- Website edits stay in draft until you, or Claude on your request, publish the website.
- Allergens and additives are a legal declaration to your guests, and you remain responsible for them. Claude is instructed to save only what you confirm for each dish and to show you the list first — check it before you agree. Name the exact cereal or nut, for example wheat or hazelnut: "gluten" or "nuts" alone is not accepted.
