A QR code menu sends diners straight to your digital menu after one scan. Upload your hosted menu URL or PDF, customise the design with your logo and brand colours, then download it in PNG, SVG or PDF for table stands, menu holders or counter signs. Every menu QR is dynamic by default, so you can keep editing the destination after printing and update daily specials without replacing the printed code.
Yes, you can if you use a dynamic menu QR code. Every menu QR on QR Code AI is dynamic by default, which means the code points to a short editable link. When your menu changes, you update the destination in your dashboard and customers will always see the latest version. That lets restaurants change specials, prices, seasonal items or allergen notes without printing new table displays or signs.
Yes. A restaurant menu QR code can be created for free on QR Code AI. You can customise it with your logo, brand colours and template-based design, then download it in PNG, SVG or PDF without watermarks. Most menu QR codes are dynamic by default, so the destination stays editable after printing and each scan can be tracked in your dashboard with country, device, browser and timestamp data.
A QR code menu can link to a page that includes allergen and calorie disclosures, but compliance depends on the content shown on the linked page, not the code itself. The QR code simply opens the URL. To support clear disclosure, the menu page should use accessible text, structured sections and screen-reader-friendly formatting instead of image-only PDFs.
Yes, on most modern phones the built-in camera app is enough. iPhone and many Android devices can detect the QR code directly from the camera, then open the menu in the default browser after the user taps the prompt. Older phones may still need a separate QR Code Scanner app from the App Store / Play Store, but that is less common now.
Diners usually scan a menu QR code with the phone’s built-in camera. On iPhone, they open Camera, point it at the code and tap the notification to open the menu in Safari. On Android, they can use the default camera or Lens and tap the URL preview shown on screen. The menu then opens in the browser without needing a separate app, which is the same flow many guests use when scanning a hotel menu QR code.
