Menu QR codes
Restaurant menu QR codes.
Create a branded QR for menus, table tents, windows, takeout bags, delivery inserts, and seasonal specials without paying per scan.
Before you print
Make the QR clear, editable, and worth scanning.
Pick one clear action for the scan, keep the code easy to read, and use an editable link when a printed piece might outlive the URL behind it.
Why it matters
Menus change more often than printed table tents do.
Prices, specials, seasonal items, hours, and online ordering links move constantly. A menu QR should be easy to scan and easy to update before reprinting becomes a problem.
Static vs dynamic
A dynamic QR is the safer default for printed menus.
Use Free only for a menu URL that will stay stable. Use Link before printing anything that may need new prices, a new PDF, a new ordering link, or a holiday menu.
Read static vs dynamic guideBest practices
Make the printed QR easy to scan and easy to trust.
Print large enough for table distance; do not force guests to lean in.
Keep contrast high under warm restaurant lighting.
Use one QR per table/menu purpose instead of sending every scan to a cluttered homepage.
Test in the real room under real lighting before placing a bulk order.
- Choose the menu destination: website menu, PDF, ordering page, or Link page.
- Generate the branded QR with a conservative logo treatment.
- Use Link if the menu destination may change.
- Place the QR on table tents, window signs, takeout inserts, or printed menus.
FAQ
Questions people ask before printing.
Do restaurant menu QR codes expire?
Static QRs do not expire, but the destination can break. Link keeps the printed code active while you update where it sends guests.
Can I use a PDF menu?
Yes, but a mobile-friendly web menu usually loads faster and is easier for guests to read.
Do you charge by scan?
No. Plans use simple flat monthly pricing, not pay-per-scan pricing.
