QR code for your menu: from printing to scanning, without mistakes
How to generate your menu's QR code, where to place it so your customers scan it and which mistakes to avoid. With a free 7-day trial.
A QR code for your restaurant menu is the gateway to your digital menu. If that gateway works badly — because it links to a PDF, because it is slow or because it points to the wrong page — you have burned the first impression.
In this guide we look at what makes a menu QR actually work: the difference between serving a static PDF and a live menu, and where to place it so it is scanned effortlessly.

Frequently asked questions
Should the QR link to a PDF or a website?
To a mobile-first website. A PDF loads slowly, forces zooming and you cannot hide a sold-out dish without regenerating the file.
Can I use the same QR on several tables?
Yes. WatchMenu's menu QR works forever: you change the content whenever you want and the code keeps working on every table.
Is it better to put one QR per table?
If you want table ordering or per-area control, yes: each QR identifies its table. For reading the menu only, one general code is enough.
