Steps
Submit the menu via the Upload Menu endpoint and capture the full error payload rather than just the HTTP status code
For an 'invalid visibility: time ranges overlap' style error, inspect the VisibilityHours definition for the offending item and remove or merge overlapping time ranges
For errors referencing an item_id that appears malformed or missing, call Get Menu to confirm whether that item actually exists on the current live menu before retrying
Confirm the submitted catalog satisfies baseline validity requirements — at least one menu under menus and at least one day with service_availability hours — since a catalog missing either is rejected outright
Use the dedicated troubleshooting reference to map error strings to remediation steps rather than guessing from the error text alone
Known gotchas
A single malformed item can fail the entire menu upload depending on validation mode, not just that item — check whether partial application or full rejection occurred
Visibility-hour overlap errors are easy to introduce when merging per-daypart menus programmatically; validate time ranges client-side before upload
Store-to-org linkage issues surface as menu errors that look like item problems — verify store_id is correctly associated with your org first
