    Use the menu page on your website, a PDF menu on Google Drive or Dropbox, or your online-ordering page.

  2. 2

    Paste the link and style it

    Paste the link above and pick colors that suit your brand — keep the code dark on a light background.

    Download the SVG for your printer and add it to table tents, stickers and the counter with a clear “Scan for menu”.

How a menu QR code works

A menu QR code is a link to your menu. Guests scan it with their phone camera and the menu opens in their browser — no app to install. It saves printing costs, keeps menus clean, and lets guests browse at their own pace.

The link can point to a page on your website, a PDF menu, a delivery or ordering page, or a hosted menu you build with QR-10.

PDF menu or mobile menu?

A PDF is the quickest start if you already have a designed menu, but PDFs are made for paper: guests have to pinch and zoom, and every price change means exporting and re-uploading the file.

A mobile menu is built for phones — readable text, clear sections and dietary tags. With QR-10 Pro you can build one in minutes: up to 20 sections with names, descriptions, prices and tags like veg, vegan, spicy and gluten-free. Edit it anytime and the printed code keeps working.

Keep printed menus for those who want them

QR menus are convenient, but not every guest has a smartphone or wants to use one at dinner. Keep a few printed copies for older guests, visitors without data, and anyone who simply prefers paper.

Use cases

Made for every kind of venue

  • Restaurants

    A code on every table means guests can browse, decide and order sooner.

  • Cafés and bakeries

    Show the full drinks and pastry menu at the counter, without crowding the menu board.

  • Bars and pubs

    Keep drinks, specials and happy-hour times up to date without reprinting.

  • Hotels and room service

    Put a room-service menu code in every room and by the pool.

  • Food trucks and stalls

    One sticker on the window shows the menu while the queue moves.

  • Cloud kitchens and catering

    Add the code to delivery bags and flyers so customers reorder easily.

Best practices

Tips for QR menus guests love

  • Make it easy to spot

    Print “Scan for menu” next to the code, and put it on every table at eye level.

  • Print it big enough

    At least 3 × 3 cm (1.2 inches) on table tents; bigger on windows and boards scanned from a distance.

  • Use a mobile-friendly menu

    If you use a PDF, make it one column with large text. A phone-friendly menu page is better still.

  • Laminate and check regularly

    Laminated table tents survive spills. Scan them now and then to make sure none are damaged.

  • Show prices and dietary tags

    Guests want prices, allergens and veg/vegan options. Put them on the digital menu, clearly.

  • Keep the link stable

    If your menu file’s link changes, every printed code breaks. Use a fixed page or a dynamic code.

Static or dynamic?

The menu changes. The code on the table shouldn’t

Prices rise, dishes sell out, specials change daily. A dynamic menu on QR-10 Pro is hosted for you and editable from any device, so the codes you printed keep working. You also see when guests scan — the busiest days and hours — which helps with staffing and specials.

  • Edit anytime — no new PDFs, no reprinting
