A restaurant menu QR code links a table sign to your menu online. Guests scan it with their camera and the menu opens right away, so you skip reprinting and can change dishes any time. If your menu lives on a web page, you can make one with the URL QR code generator.
Static or dynamic for a menu?
If your menu link never changes, a free static code works well. If you update prices or swap seasonal menus and do not want to reprint the table tents, use a dynamic code so you can change where it points without a new print. Create a free account to make dynamic, editable codes.
Steps to set it up
- Put your menu online as a web page, a hosted PDF, or an ordering page.
- Open the URL QR code generator and paste the menu link.
- Brand it with your colors and logo, and add a frame that says "Scan for menu".
- Download an SVG for crisp printing and add it to table tents, windows, and posters.
Design tips for table tents
- Keep strong contrast and a quiet margin around the code.
- Print it around 2.5 to 3 cm so it scans from a seated distance.
- Use a matte finish to avoid glare from lights.
- Test it under your actual lighting before the tents go out.
Get more scans
- Add a short prompt like "Scan to view our menu".
- Place codes at eye level and add one on the window for passers-by.
- Point the code to a fast, mobile-friendly page rather than a heavy PDF.
Frequently asked questions
Do customers need an app?
No. The phone camera opens the menu, with no app to install.
Can I update the menu without reprinting?
Yes, with a dynamic code from a free account. A static code always opens the same link.
What should the code link to?
A fast, mobile-friendly menu page. Avoid heavy PDFs where you can, since they load slowly on phones.
