QR Code Menu Generator
A QR code menu takes diners straight to your menu on their phone — no app, no printed card to reprint every time a price changes. The trick is what the code points at: a web page you control, so the printed code never needs replacing. Enter your menu page link below and design a table code.

What happens when someone scans it
The phone opens your menu page in the browser — instantly, no app to download. Diners scroll the menu on their own device. Because the code encodes the page address and not the menu itself, you edit the page and every printed code keeps working.
How to make a QR Code Menu
- 1
Put your menu on a web page
Your website's menu page, a Google Doc set to 'anyone with the link', or a free menu-builder page. Use a stable URL like yoursite.com/menu.
- 2
Paste the link
Enter the menu page URL. The code encodes the address, so you can update the page later without a new code.
- 3
Design a table code
High contrast, a small logo, a 'Scan for menu' caption, matte finish so candlelight doesn't reflect into the camera.
- 4
Print and test
At least 3 cm on a table tent. Scan it with two phones before you print the full set.
Where to use it
- Table tents — one per table, printed both sides
- A small sticker on the table surface (harder to lose than a card)
- A larger code by the entrance for people deciding whether to come in
- The counter for takeaway and collection orders
- Room service folders in hotels
Frequently asked questions
Do diners need an app to scan a QR menu?
No. Every iPhone and modern Android reads QR codes from the camera. The menu opens in the browser — nothing to install.
How do I change the menu without a new QR code?
Point the code at a stable page URL and edit the page behind it. The code stays the same because it encodes the address, not the menu.
PDF menu or web page?
A web page. It loads faster on a phone, reads better without zooming, and you can edit it in place. A PDF at a fixed URL is fragile — move or replace it and the code breaks.
Is a free static QR code enough for a restaurant?
Yes, as long as the menu page stays at the same URL. You only need a paid dynamic code if you swap the destination for seasonal menus or run several branches.
What size should the code be on a table?
At least 3 cm square on a table tent, bigger on a wall. Leave a white border and keep the print matte.
