Restaurant menu QR codes
Menu QR codes are simple, but they need reliable scanning, a fast mobile destination, and a plan for menu changes after printing.
Point to a mobile menu page
The best destination is a fast mobile web page with menu sections, prices, allergens, opening hours, and clear links to book or order. Avoid sending guests to a large PDF that is hard to read on a phone.
Static
Use a static URL QR when the menu URL will not change.
Dynamic
Use dynamic QR when the menu platform, seasonal URL, or campaign tracking may change.
Test tables
Scan from table height, under venue lighting, and from older phones before printing.
Print checklist
- Use strong contrast and keep a quiet zone around the code.
- Print large enough for the expected scan distance.
- Keep one QR code per menu destination or table campaign.
- Retest after changing the destination URL or menu platform.
