  title: Grubhub Menu API
  description: >-
    The Grubhub Menu API enables partners and merchants to create, update,
    and manage restaurant menus within the Grubhub Marketplace. It supports
    building normalized menu structures including schedules, sections, items,
    modifiers, and pricing. POS integrations are required to sync menus
    through this API, ensuring that restaurant offerings on Grubhub stay
    current with their local menu changes. Menu ingestion uses a diff-based
    approach with external IDs to match, update, create, and remove menu
    objects.

      summary: Ingest a normalized menu
      description: >-
        Uploads a complete menu to Grubhub including schedules, sections,
        items, and modifiers. The API uses external IDs to perform a diff
        between the current and uploaded versions. Matching external IDs
        will have their fields updated, new IDs will create objects, and
        missing IDs will cause the associated items to be removed. Processing
        completes asynchronously after the endpoint responds.
