Backing Up and Restoring Your Menu

A backup is a snapshot of your entire menu, frozen at the moment you take it. It’s the thing you’ll be glad you did before a seasonal overhaul, a big import, or handing the menu to someone else to edit — if anything goes sideways, you can roll back to exactly how it was.

You’ll find it at the bottom of Menu → Import / Export.

Taking a backup

Click Create Snapshot and Lekro saves the current state of your menu — every category, item, price, and detail. It takes a second, and the new snapshot appears in the history below with the date, how many categories and items it holds, and its size. The small stats up top just give you the shape of things: how many backups you have, and when the newest and oldest were taken.

Get into the habit of taking one right before any change you’re not sure about. It costs nothing and it’s the difference between a quick undo and redoing an afternoon’s work.

Restoring an earlier version

Each row in the history has a Restore button, and a Preview so you can check a snapshot’s contents before committing to it. Restoring replaces your current menu with that earlier version, so Lekro asks you to confirm first — it’s not something you want to trigger by accident.

It’s worth being clear about what restore does: it swaps your whole menu back to the snapshot. Any items you added after that backup was taken won’t be in it, which is exactly the point when you’re undoing a mistake, but worth a second thought if you’ve done good work since. When in doubt, take a fresh backup of the current state before restoring an old one — then you can move between the two freely.

This is a different thing from exporting, which downloads a file to your device. Backups live in your account and are built for quick rollback; an export is for taking the menu out of Lekro entirely.
