Change the menu without reprinting the table cards

Table QR codes that open your menu, your Wi-Fi or your review page — and stay correct when the kitchen changes.

QR code menus for restaurants and cafés

Why it works

Price changes cost nothing

Update the linked menu and every table card is current on the next scan.

Staff stop repeating the Wi-Fi password

A Wi-Fi QR code connects the guest directly, password included.

You learn which tables scan

Per-table codes show where guests engage and when the peak actually is.

How do I set up a QR code menu?

  1. Upload or link your menu
  2. Create a code per table or section
  3. Print and laminate the table cards
  4. Update the menu whenever the kitchen does

A web menu beats a PDF menu on a phone

A PDF opens as a fixed page the guest has to pinch, drag and zoom, usually while holding a drink. A mobile web page reflows to the screen, loads faster on a weak connection, and can be corrected in seconds. If you only have a PDF, the code will happily host it — but the single biggest improvement most venues can make is putting the menu on a page instead.

One code per table is worth the extra work

A single code across the room tells you how many people scanned. A code per table tells you which sections fill first, whether the terrace turns over faster than the interior, and when your real peak is as opposed to when you think it is. It costs nothing extra beyond printing different cards, and it turns the menu into a source of floor data.

Wi-Fi codes and review codes

Two codes solve problems the menu does not. A Wi-Fi QR code joins the guest to your network with the password embedded, which removes the most repeated question your staff answer. A review-link code on the bill folder catches people while the meal is still fresh, which is when reviews actually get written. Keep them visually distinct from the menu code so nobody scans the wrong one.

Printing table cards that survive service

Table cards live in a wet, greasy, high-traffic environment. Print from the vector PDF at 25–30 mm, laminate or use a rigid holder, and keep the quiet zone clear of the card’s border design. Matte finishes scan more reliably than gloss under overhead lighting, where a glare spot across the code is enough to stop it reading.

Questions about QR code menus

Do guests need an app?

No. Every current iPhone and Android camera reads QR codes natively.

Can I use a PDF menu?

Yes — the PDF type hosts the file behind the code. A mobile-friendly web page usually reads better on a phone.

Can one code serve lunch and dinner differently?

Yes. Point a dynamic code at whichever menu is current and change it when service changes.
