A restaurant menu QR code that stays current
Give guests a readable menu and keep the same table code when the menu changes.
UpdatedFrequently asked questions
Start with the questions people ask before making a code.
Should the QR open a webpage or a PDF?
A mobile-friendly webpage is usually easier to navigate and update. If you use a PDF, check its size, readability, and accessibility on a small phone.
How do I change the menu without reprinting?
Update the page at the same URL, or use a dynamic QR and change its destination when the menu moves. Test the printed code before the next service.
Should every table use the same code?
Use one code when you only need a simple menu link. Use separate codes for locations you want to compare, such as the window and dining room.
What if a guest cannot scan?
Keep another way to access the menu available. A QR should make the menu easier to reach, not be the only option.
How to set it up
Follow these steps, then scan the finished code yourself.
Prepare a phone-friendly menu
Open the menu on a small screen. Check that items and prices are readable, the page loads quickly, and an account is not required just to view it.
Create the menu QR
Enter the menu URL. Choose a dynamic QR if you expect to move the destination, and name separate codes for placements you want to measure.
Test at the table
Print a sample at the intended size. Scan through any holder under the restaurant’s actual lighting and check contrast and spacing.
Maintain the link
Check the menu after each update and keep an alternate menu available. Compare scan activity with your ordering system before drawing conclusions about sales.
