A QR code menu lets your guests view your menu from their phone — contactless and with no app. Convenient, cheap and always up to date, it’s become a restaurant standard. Here’s how to set one up.
What is a QR code menu?
It’s a QR code (often paired with an NFC chip) on the table or counter. The guest scans it and your menu opens in the browser — photos, prices, allergens — and you update it whenever you want.
Why adopt it
- Always up to date: change a dish or price without reprinting.
- Cost-effective: no more laminated menus to redo.
- Hygienic: contactless.
- Multilingual: offer your menu in several languages.
How to set it up
Host your menu (PDF or web page), generate the QR code, then display it on a durable holder. A restaurant menu plaque with NFC/QR does it cleanly, on the table or at the entrance.
For more visible signage
Beyond the table, the restaurant pro plaque offers a larger, premium holder for the entrance, counter or window — ideal to show menu, reviews and socials in one place.
Best practices
Mind mobile readability, add dish photos, list allergens, and add a clear prompt (“Scan to view the menu”). Test the flow on your own phone.
