The menu's code, on a table stand that holds up to daily use.

Also accepts tel:, mailto: or any address. The shorter, the better it prints.
Always use the guest network: anyone who scans the code can read the password.

Where to host the menu before generating the code
The QR code only stores an address: the quality of the experience depends on what's on the other end. Here are the usual options, from best to worst for the customer:
| Option | Advantage | Drawback |
|---|---|---|
| Your own website (yoursite.com/menu) | Fast, updatable, yours | You need a website |
| Digital menu service | Photos, allergens, languages | Monthly fee |
| PDF on your own domain | Free and simple | Reads poorly on mobile if not optimized |
| PDF on Google Drive | Free, zero setup | Ugly link, sometimes asks for permissions |
| Google Business Profile | You already have it | Little control over the format |
Whichever you choose, check two things before printing: that the link never changes, and that it opens well on a phone using mobile data, not just the venue's WiFi.
What to put in the stand's text
A short, explicit text works better than a pretty one. 'OUR MENU' or 'MENU & ALLERGENS' say exactly what will happen when scanned. If you have international customers, 'MENU · CARTE' covers two languages in three words.
How many stands and where
- One per table, placed facing the table's entrance, not against the wall.
- Two on long tables seating more than six.
- One at the entrance or in the window: many people decide to come in after checking the menu.
- One at the bar if you serve there.
Common questions
Can I use the same QR code on every table?
Yes, if it only links to the menu. You only need different codes per table if you take table-side orders and the system needs to know which table it is.
What if I don't have the menu online yet?
You can start with a PDF hosted on your domain or a free service, and print the stand once the address is final. The code generates in seconds, but the piece takes an hour to print: not worth printing with a temporary link.
Can I put the restaurant's logo in the center?
Yes. On the printed piece it becomes a single-color silhouette; it works great with flat logos and poorly with photographs.
What if a customer doesn't know how to scan a QR code?
It still happens. Always keep one or two physical menus available: the QR code is a complement, not a mandatory replacement.
How does the QR code affect allergen information?
Allergen information must be available; having it in the digital menu is fine as long as it's accessible to every customer, including those without a phone.
