Technical notes

A menu QR code is really a QR encoding your digital menu's URL; when a customer scans it, the menu opens on their phone. It removes the hassle of printing/cleaning physical menus, and you don't need to reprint the QR to update the menu (as long as the URL stays the same).

Because it will be used on tables, print quality and contrast are critical: use dark modules on a light background, and watch that lamination or glossy surfaces don't create glare that breaks the code. Print it large enough to scan comfortably from where a customer sits.

The shorter the URL, the sparser (larger-module) the QR and the easier it reads from a distance. Shortening long, parameter-heavy links both simplifies the look and improves read success. Test the code on a few different phones before printing.

This tool makes a static QR; you manage your target URL and we keep no redirect server. If you need a per-table link for many tables, use the bulk QR code generator, and for a single design see the QR code generator.

Frequently asked questions

No, as long as the URL stays the same. The QR only carries the link; if you update the menu content at that link, the QR can stay the same. Only a URL change needs a new QR.
