How to Create a QR Code Menu for a Restaurant

What is a QR code menu?

A QR code menu is a menu hosted as a web page. A printed or displayed QR code contains the page address. When a guest scans it with a phone camera, the menu opens in the browser. No app download is needed.

Because the QR code only stores a link, you can edit prices, dishes and photos later and the same code keeps working.

Step 1: Gather your menu content

Collect your dishes, descriptions, prices and categories. If you already have a PDF, a photo or a Word document, you can start from it instead of retyping. Check allergens and dietary notes, since guests often look for them.

Step 2: Build the digital menu

• Create an account and start a new project.
• Upload your existing menu file or describe your business in plain language, and let the AI draft the menu.
• Review every item, price and category. AI output can contain mistakes, so always check it before you publish.
• Adjust colors, photos and layout so it matches your brand.

Step 3: Publish and get your QR code

Publishing gives your menu a public web address. Generate the QR code from that address and download it.

Step 4: Place the QR code where guests will see it

• Print it on table tents, stickers or the door and window.
• Make it large enough to scan from a normal distance and keep a clear margin around it.
• Add a short line such as "Scan to see our menu".
• Test it with several phones, in your venue lighting, before printing in bulk.

Step 5: Keep the menu up to date

Update prices or sold-out dishes in the editor and publish. Guests who scan afterwards see the new version. Keep a small printed fallback for guests without a phone.
