About the menu editor

Restaurants can list their menu items on their Business Profile on Google. This feature is available to food and drink businesses.

How the menu editor works

Important: If you have a menu provided by the Business Profile API, you may not have this feature in Business Profile or Google Search.

In your Business Profile, you may find an option to add menu items, along with their descriptions and prices. To keep your menu organized, group items into sections, such as appetizers, desserts, and main courses. It can take 24–48 hours for your changes to display on Google Maps and Search.

When customers find your Business Profile, they can find your menu items listed under "Menu."
