šŸ½ļø How to Create a QR Code Menu for Your Restaurant (Free)

Replace paper menus with a QR code that links to your digital menu. Customers scan and see your full menu on their phone. Free to create.

Why Every Restaurant Needs a QR Menu

Paper menus are expensive to reprint when prices change. Digital menus via QR codes update instantly, cost nothing to distribute, and customers already know how to scan them.

Bonus: you can update your menu (prices, daily specials, sold-out items) without reprinting anything.

How to Set It Up

1. Create your menu as a web page, Google Doc, or PDF and host it online 2. Generate a QR code pointing to that URL 3. Print the QR code on table tents, stickers, or cards 4. Place on every table, at the entrance, and on your window

Tip: Use a short URL service so you can change the destination later without reprinting QR codes.

Design Tips

• Make the QR code at least 3cm Ɨ 3cm for easy scanning • Add "Scan for Menu" text above or below the code • Use your brand colors for the QR foreground • Laminate table cards to protect from spills • Test in different lighting conditions — some phones struggle in dim restaurants
