How a menu QR code works

A menu QR code does not contain the menu. It contains a link, such as https://yourrestaurant.com/menu, and the phone opens whatever that address shows. So the first step is deciding where the menu lives: a page on your own website, a PDF shared from Google Drive or Dropbox, or the page a menu or ordering service gives you. This site makes the code only; it does not host menus or files.

Because the code is static, the link inside it is fixed the moment you print. What you can change is the content behind the link. If the menu sits at one stable address and you update that page or replace the PDF in place, every table card keeps working through price changes and new seasons. If the address itself changes, for example after switching menu services, the printed codes have to be replaced.

Guests scan with the phone camera, see the address and tap to open it, with no app to install. A short link on your own domain also looks more trustworthy than a long third-party one.

Where it helps

  • Table tents or stickers on each table, so guests can browse while they wait instead of sharing one laminated menu.
  • A window sticker by the door that lets people passing by check dishes and prices before they come in, even after closing time.
  • A takeaway bag insert or receipt that links to the menu for the next order from home.
  • A separate code at the counter for the allergen and ingredient page, so staff can point to it when guests ask.

Tips before you print

  1. Use an address you control, such as yourdomain.com/menu, and redirect it to wherever the menu currently lives. Then a change of menu service does not mean reprinting every table card.
  2. Open the menu on a phone over mobile data, not the restaurant Wi-Fi. A large PDF of scanned pages loads slowly and is hard to read on a small screen; a simple web page works better.
  3. Keep printed menus available. Some guests have no smartphone, a flat battery or poor eyesight, and a QR code should be a convenience, not the only way to order.
  4. Show allergen information online as clearly as on paper, and update it whenever a dish changes.
  5. Print the code at least 2 to 3 cm (about 1 in) wide on table cards. For the window, Print sheet / PDF makes an A4 poster with a headline you can edit, such as “Scan for our menu”.

Questions

Can I upload my menu here?
No. This site makes the code only. Put the menu on your website, share a PDF from Google Drive or Dropbox with “anyone with the link”, or use the link from your menu service, then paste that address here.
Do I need a new code when the menu changes?
Not if the address stays the same. Update the page or replace the PDF at the same link, and the printed codes keep showing the latest version.
Will the code stop working after a while?
No. It is a static code with the link stored in the image, so there is no subscription to lapse. It works as long as the menu page itself is online.
Should I use one code for all tables or one per table?
One code is enough when every table sees the same menu. Separate codes only help if your ordering system gives each table its own link; you can turn that list into codes on the Batch page, up to 200 at a time in one ZIP.
