Restaurant Menu QR Code — let guests scan to see your menu
Paste your online menu link below to generate a scan-to-view-menu QR code for table stickers, tent cards, a menu stand or the front door. Add your logo, match your brand color, and export crisp PNG for tables or vector SVG for print. It's all built locally in your browser; the link is never uploaded.
A restaurant menu QR code is really a URL QR code pointing at your online menu. Host the menu on a page you can edit anytime — your own site, an ordering system, even a public PDF or image link — then paste that link into the generator below. Because the code holds the link (not the menu itself), changing prices or dishes only means editing the page; the printed code stays the same.

How to make it
- 1First, put your menu on a page you can edit anytime — a menu page on your site, an ordering-system link, or a menu PDF / tall image uploaded to a public address. Don't encode the whole menu into the code itself; dishes and prices change, and a link is what stays maintainable.
- 2Copy that menu link and paste it into the generator below (we add https:// if you leave the protocol off).
- 3For a polished look, upload your logo as the center mark and switch the foreground to your brand color; we auto-raise error correction so the covered center still scans.
- 4Use PNG for table stickers and tent cards; download SVG for large menu stands, light boxes or posters so it stays razor-sharp at any size.
- 5Before laminating or printing the whole batch, scan it with a second phone to confirm the link opens and the menu loads — then roll it out to every table.
Frequently asked questions
If I change a price, do I have to remake the printed code?
No — as long as you encoded a link to your menu page, not the menu itself. Price changes, new items and removals all happen on the page; the link is unchanged, so the code on the table keeps pulling the latest menu. That's exactly why a menu code should be a URL code rather than a menu image crammed into the pattern.
I don't have a website, just a menu image or PDF — can I still do this?
Yes. Upload that menu image or PDF to any publicly reachable address (a public cloud link, an image host, your ordering system), grab the link, then generate the code. A PDF or image isn't as easy to edit on the fly as a page, so if your menu changes often, a simple menu page is worth setting up.
Does a menu QR force guests to install an app or go online?
Scanning just opens the page you point to — no app needed — but guests do need a connection (WiFi or data) to load it. Posting a WiFi QR code nearby helps: guests scan to join WiFi first, then scan the menu, for the smoothest experience.
