Print menus are expensive and dated the moment a price changes. A QR code to a digital menu costs nothing and updates instantly.
Since 2020, QR menus have become standard in restaurants worldwide. Customers scan with their camera, the menu opens in their browser — no app, no signup. Update prices or items on your menu PDF or website and the change is instant for every diner.

Open QR Code GeneratorFrequently asked questions
Do customers need an app to scan the menu QR code?
No. iPhones and modern Android phones scan QR codes natively through the camera app. Customer points camera at QR, taps the link popup, menu opens. Zero friction.
Can I update the menu without reprinting the QR code?
Yes — if the QR code points to a URL (your website or a hosted PDF), update the content at that URL and every printed QR keeps working with the new content. This is the main advantage over printed menus.
How big should the printed QR code be?
Minimum 2x2 cm (about 1 inch) for reliable scanning from arm's length. For table tents, 3-4 cm is safer. Make sure there's white space around the code — busy backgrounds reduce scan reliability.
Should I use a PDF menu or a website?
A website loads faster on mobile and is easier to update. A PDF works on any device but downloads first, which adds friction. For most restaurants, a simple one-page website or even a Notion page outperforms PDF.
