How to set up a restaurant menu QR code
Print the table cards once, then update the menu whenever the kitchen does.
To set up a restaurant menu QR code, put your menu online as a page or PDF, make an editable code that points to it and print it on table cards. When dishes or prices change, swap the menu in the app and the same cards open the new version. Keep a printed menu for anyone who asks.
Today's menu, every time
The kitchen changes the specials, you upload the new menu, and every table card opens it on the next scan.
Find the smallest size that scans
Set it up in four steps
Put the menu online
Use a page on your site or upload a PDF that reads well on a phone.
Make an editable code
Point it at the menu so you can change the destination later.
Print the table cards
One code for every table, 3 to 4 cm, with a caption such as Menu: scan here.
Update when it changes
Swap the menu file or link in the app; the cards stay on the tables.
What guests appreciate
A menu that loads fast
Keep the PDF light and the text large enough to read without zooming.
Wi-Fi beside it
A second code that joins the guest network helps where signal is weak.
A printed fallback
Some guests prefer paper, so keep a few printed menus at the counter.

Questions and answers
Before you print
- Is it free?
- Fixed codes are free: make as many as you like, download a PNG with no sign-up, and get every other format and print files with a free account. Editable codes come with a plan, a pass, Keep-alive or the 14-day trial.
- Can I change the link after printing?
- Yes, with an editable code. It holds a short link you control, so you can point the printed code somewhere new any time, and the next scan opens the new page. A fixed code keeps the link it was made with.
- Can I use my own domain?
- Yes. A custom domain is included on passes, from Starter, and during the trial. Starter covers one subdomain, for example go.yourbrand.com, and apex domains start on Pro.
- What happens if I stop paying?
- Editable codes work to the end of your paid period, and after a failed payment every code keeps working for 14 days. Turn codes back on within 12 months. Fixed codes keep working as long as their links do.
Do I need a dynamic code for a menu?
If the menu changes, yes. An editable code lets you swap the menu without reprinting the cards; a fixed code is fine for a menu that never changes.
Can I use a PDF menu?
Yes. Upload the PDF and the code opens it. Make sure it is readable on a small screen.
What does an editable menu code cost?
Start with a 14-day trial with no card, then Starter is $9 a month, or a one-time pass from $12.
Can I see how many guests scan the menu?
Yes. Editable codes count scans, so you can see busy days and compare tables or locations.
Should every table have its own code?
One shared code is enough for the menu. Separate codes help only when you want to compare areas or locations.
What if the menu link changes?
Point the existing code at the new link in the app. The cards on the tables keep working.
