I've been contributing to Google Maps for a while, specifically, I usually upload pictures of menu's from restaurants, so future visitors can see them before they decide to eat there! I'm trying to degoogle my life a bit & was wondering if there is a way I could contribute these to OSM?

Not specifically for restaurant menus, but more generally if you’d like to contribute to Open Street Map while out and about, depending on your area there may not be complete information for a lot of businesses. You can use an app like Go Map!! on iOS or Street Complete on Android (or many other OSM apps) to add information like business hours, website, phone number, and other useful information.

I already use StreetComplete ;)

Every Door is another app for updating hours and contact info for businesses while out and about. It’s available for both iOS and Android.
