What is a QR code menu?

A QR code menu is a scannable code that opens a restaurant's digital menu on a guest's smartphone. Instead of handling laminated menus, guests browse items, see photos and prices, and often place orders or call a server — all without installing an app.

Common challenges

  • Physical menus are costly to print and sanitize.
  • Guests wait for staff to bring menus during busy periods.
  • Menu changes require reprinting or handwritten stickers.
