How to manage Google Menu with Localistico?

Google Menu is a feature that allows business owners, mainly restaurants and cafés or other businesses offering food, to let their customers know what they are offering. This helps the customers to find a suitable place for their needs (for example, a restaurant that has a good selection of vegetarian options.)
