How to make a QR code menu, step by step
Making a QR code menu sounds complicated only until you've done it once. In practice it takes just a few steps: add your dishes, choose how the menu looks and download the QR code for your tables. This guide walks you through the whole process in plain language, with no technical jargon.
The whole process
Three steps to a finished QR code menu
You don't need a developer or a designer. The whole job comes down to three steps, all done from one account. Here is how you get from a blank screen to a QR code your guests scan at the table.
- 1. Add your menu.
- Add categories and dishes by hand, or take photos of your printed menu and let AI import it for you.
- 2. Style it.
- Pick a theme, set your colors and logo and add dish photos, and the menu starts to look like your venue right away.
- 3. Download the QR code.
- We generate a QR code for your venue. Print it, put it on your tables and the menu is ready for guests.
Small things that pay off
Tips for a better QR code menu
Once the basic menu is live, a few small steps make a better impression and make life easier for guests. Here is what we recommend before your first guest scans the code.
- Add photos
Add a photo at least for your most popular dishes. Guests choose more easily, and dishes with a photo get ordered more often.
- Make the QR code easy to see
Place the code where it's easy to see on the table and add a short 'Scan for the menu' so guests know what to do.
- Keep the menu current
Hide sold-out items and add new ones regularly. A menu that is always accurate builds trust.
