Restaurant Menu QR Code for Tables and Windows

Web page or PDF?

A mobile-friendly web page loads faster and reads better on a small screen than a large PDF, and it can be updated at the same address. If you use a PDF, compress it, keep one page per section and upload new versions under the same file name so the link never changes. In both cases, the QR code only contains the link, so the address must stay stable.

Table card essentials

• Print the code at least 3 cm wide so it scans from a seated position.
• Add a frame with clear text such as Scan for menu, plus your logo.
• Use matte paper or a matte laminate to avoid glare from ceiling lights.
• Offer printed menus too; not every guest has, or wants to use, a smartphone.
• A second code for guest Wi-Fi on the same card is often appreciated.

Protect guests from fake menu codes

Criminals sometimes cover genuine codes with stickers that lead to look-alike payment or login pages. Print codes directly onto cards or use sealed holders, and check them regularly. Your menu should never ask guests to log in or enter card details just to view it. Tell staff what the correct domain looks like so they can help a guest who is unsure.

How to make it

1. Publish your menu at a stable address on your own domain.
2. Open Create, choose Website and paste the menu link.
3. Add your logo, brand colours and a frame with Scan for menu.
4. Export a PDF or SVG, print a test card and scan it from a chair before printing all tables.
