Do guests need an app to view the menu?

No. Any modern iPhone or Android camera scans the code and opens your menu in the phone's browser — no app to download.

Can I update the menu without making a new QR code?

Yes — as long as the link stays the same. Keep your menu at a fixed web address or PDF link, then edit the content behind it. The printed QR code keeps working and always shows the latest version.

Is the menu QR code free?

Yes. Generate unlimited menu QR codes for free and download as PNG. SVG and 4K print-ready files are free too.

Q: I only have a PDF menu — does that work?

Perfectly. Host the PDF online and point the QR code at its link. See our 'QR code for a PDF' guide for the easiest way to do it.

Let guests scan to see your menu — always current, no app, and no reprinting when prices change.

A QR code menu links a printed sticker or table tent to your live menu online. Guests point their camera and the menu opens in their browser — no app, no fuss. Best of all, when you change a dish or a price you just edit the page behind the code; the same printed QR keeps working, so you never reprint again.

How to create a QR code menu

Put your menu online — a simple web page or a PDF both work. If you have a PDF, see our QR code for a PDF guide.
Paste the menu link into the Link generator above.
Customize the colors to match your branding, then download a crisp PNG — or SVG/4K for print, all free to make.
Print and place it on table tents, the counter, the window or the door.

Great for

Restaurants & cafés — a tidy table tent instead of laminated menus.
Bars & food trucks — a sticker on the hatch or counter.
Hotels & room service — one code on the desk card.
Pop-ups & events — print once, update the menu as you go.

Tips for a menu code that always scans

Keep the menu link fixed so you can update content without a new code.
Add a caption: "Scan for our full menu".
Use dark code on a light background and leave a white margin around it.
Print table tents at a comfortable size (2–3 cm) so seated guests scan easily.

Pair it with a payment code

A menu code and a payment code work well side by side on the same table card — one to read, one to pay. If you take UPI, the UPI QR code generator makes the second one, and leaving the amount blank means a single printed code covers every bill.

Doing a code per table? The bulk generator takes a list and returns every code in one ZIP, with a CSV mapping each file to the table it belongs to.
