QR codes on printed menus

A paper menu holds dishes and prices, and space runs out fast. A 2cm code in the corner carries the rest: allergen and ingredient details, tonight's specials, translations, photos. Guests hold the menu at 30 to 40cm, so a small code scans on the first try, and the page behind it changes as often as the kitchen does while the print stays the same.

Allergen answers on demand

Guests with allergies get the full ingredient breakdown in one scan, and your staff stop reciting it table by table. You update the list when a supplier or recipe changes.

2

Specials without a reprint

Print the menu once a season and run daily specials behind the code. You edit the specials page each morning instead of reprinting an insert.

Matte survives the candlelight

Glossy lamination bounces spot lighting into the camera. Matte lamination keeps the code readable in a dim dining room and under bright lunch light alike.

Common questions

Where should the code sit on the menu?+

A bottom corner of the front page, with a short label like "Allergens and specials". Guests read menus at close range, so 2cm is enough.

Can one code serve the whole menu cycle?+

Yes. Point it at a hosted page and swap the content behind it for lunch, dinner or the seasonal change. The printed code never changes.

Will the code stop working if I stop paying?+

No. QR Tool keeps codes live on the free plan too, so menus you laminated once keep scanning for years.
