What is a digital QR code menu?
A digital menu is your menu as a web page. A QR code on the table, at the entrance or on a flyer leads straight to it. Unlike a PDF it fits the phone screen, shows photos and allergens and is up to date the moment you change a price or a daily special.
Your own QR menu in three steps
1. Open an account and choose the QR menu plan. 2. Enter your dishes in the wizard or import a CSV file, add photos and allergens, pick one of 8 designs. 3. Download the table QR labels as a PDF, print them and place them.
Digital menu or PDF menu?
A PDF behind a QR code is quick to make but hard to read on a phone, available in one language and has to be re-uploaded with every price change. A real digital menu is mobile-friendly, multilingual, shows allergens per dish and can be changed in seconds. With the QR menu + table ordering plan, guests can also order directly.
What a QR menu does not replace
The QR menu is a menu, not a point-of-sale system. Billing still happens at your till. If guests should order at the table, choose the plan with table ordering; to take online orders for pickup and delivery, choose Website + Online Ordering or Full.
