Group	Use

Recommended starting sequence

Choose the restaurant format before writing menu sections.
Create a short list of house specialties and first-order suggestions.
Rewrite unclear dish names with English functional names, Chinese, pinyin, and one-line descriptions.
Add allergen and spice labels using text, not icons alone.
Audit the online menu for mobile usability, search readability, and stale information.
