Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about PDF menu generation
What layouts are available for the menu?
We offer 3 professional layouts: Classic (traditional design with elegant borders, ideal for trattorias and traditional restaurants), Modern (clean and minimalist design, perfect for contemporary venues) and Elegant (refined design with decorative details, suitable for fine dining restaurants).
Can I add allergens for each dish?
Yes, each dish has an optional field to indicate present allergens. This is particularly important for compliance with European regulations (EU Regulation 1169/2011) which requires restaurants to inform customers about allergens in dishes.
How many categories and dishes can I add?
There is no strict limit on the number of categories and dishes. You can create as many sections as you need and add an unlimited number of dishes per category. The layout will automatically adapt.
How many credits does it cost to generate a PDF menu?
Generating a PDF menu costs 2 credits. The document includes the chosen layout, all categories and dishes with prices, descriptions and allergens, plus any footer notes.
What goes into the menu?
Categories with the dishes under them, each with its name, a description, the price and the allergens. Empty categories are left out, so you can prepare more than you print.
Why do allergens have to be listed?
Because in the European Union a food business has to tell customers about the fourteen listed allergens, including in writing on the menu. Leaving them off is a compliance problem, not a presentation choice.
In what format does the menu download?
As a PDF laid out for printing. From there it can go to a print shop, be printed in house or be shared as a link, which is what many venues do with a QR code on the table.
Where does my upload go?
To a server of ours, and we say so plainly because this is one of the few tools that cannot run inside the browser: the processing needs a real machine. The file is uploaded, processed, and deleted automatically within an hour. Nobody opens it, it does not end up in an archive, and it is never used to train anything.
Do you use it for anything else?
No. The file does the job you asked for and then it is gone: we do not link it to you, we do not resell it, we do not pass it to third parties and we do not train any model on it. Most other Binatomy tools upload nothing at all and work only in your browser; this is one of the few that cannot.
Do you profile me? Are you GDPR compliant?
We do not profile you: there is no account to create, we never ask for your email to use a tool, and we keep no profile of what you do. We are an Italian company and we work under the GDPR and the other European rules, with the privacy notice and the consent request in plain sight. One thing we say in full rather than hiding it behind a slogan: the ads on the page are Google's, and Google may use cookies to personalise them. You decide from the consent banner: if you say no the ads stay, but they are not personalised, and the tool works exactly the same.
If it is free, how do you make money?
From the ads on the page, and that is all. We do not sell your data, there is no hidden paid plan, there is no limit that eventually asks for your card, and you do not have to sign up. The ads pay for the servers and for the time we spend writing the tools: that is how we can keep them open to everyone.
