The flow looks like this: 1. Upload the menu as a PDF. 2. Extract: each page is analysed by Gemma 3 4B... 3. Review... 4. Translate... 5. Publish.

The PDF is only the way in: Gemma reads it so the owner doesn't have to retype every dish. What customers get is not the PDF but a structured menu that can be translated and read comfortably on a phone.
