Restaurant menu QR code
A QR code on the table lets diners open your menu on their phone in one scan. No app, no signup, no printed menu replacements every season. Change the link once and every QR updates forever.
Why a QR menu beats the paper alternative
Paper menus cost real money to reprint every time you change a price, drop a dish, or add a seasonal special. A QR code printed once — on a table tent, a wall plaque, a coaster — links to whatever URL you choose. Update the link behind the scenes and the next scan shows the new menu, the new hours, the new wine list.
Diners prefer it too. They can zoom, switch languages, see allergen info, and forward the link to a friend who’s late. You collect no email, no tracking, no app install — just a clean URL.
What to put behind the QR
A hosted PDF, a Squarespace page, a Notion page, a Google Doc set to public. Anything that renders well on a phone. The QR itself just points to a URL, so you can change what’s behind it as often as you like.
Avoid: an Instagram post (the URL can change), a Facebook page (login wall for non-users), a personal Dropbox link (bandwidth limits). A stable URL on a service you control is the best choice.

Common questions
What size should I print the menu QR?
2×2 inches is the sweet spot for table tents. 3×3 inches if you’re putting it on a wall. Test the print with a phone scan before laminating.
Can I update the menu without reprinting the QR?
Yes. The QR encodes your menu URL, not the menu itself. Update the page behind the URL (PDF, website, etc.) and the same QR keeps working.
Do diners need an app?
No. iPhone and Android both open QR codes with the native camera app. No app install, no signup, no friction.
