Create a QR code for your online menu

Link a table code to your mobile menu or hosted PDF so guests can read it on their phones. Update dishes and prices on the destination page without changing the printed code. Keep another way to view the menu available for guests who cannot or prefer not to scan.

Update prices and daily specials instantly without reprinting

Did a supplier price change overnight? Need to 86 an entree halfway through dinner rush? With a QRtracer dynamic restaurant code, you can point the code to a new menu page or a newly hosted PDF link from your dashboard in seconds. Your printed table tents, acrylic stands, and window decals remain untouched on the tables, while diners immediately see your updated items and pricing.

Test how your menu opens on a phone

A QRtracer dynamic code forwards the guest to your chosen menu URL. Guests can usually open it with their phone camera and browser. Test the full journey on mobile data: a large PDF, unavailable file or sign-in prompt can still make the menu difficult to use.

Link to menu languages and dietary information

Today's diners frequently require multilingual menus, allergy disclosures, or detailed calorie breakdowns. By linking your dynamic QR code to a smart landing page or multi-tab digital menu, you can offer instant language switching (such as English, Spanish, French, or German) alongside comprehensive vegan, gluten-free, and halal allergen filters. Diners appreciate the transparency, and servers spend less time answering repetitive ingredient questions.

Table placement and lighting recommendations

Place your menu QR codes where diners can scan naturally without leaning across dishes or lifting glassware. Matte table tents, laminated inserts, or laser-engraved wood blocks work best to eliminate overhead ceiling glare and reflection that can interfere with optical smartphone camera autofocus. For dim evening bistro settings, ensure the QR matrix maintains high optical contrast on an untextured light background.

See when your menu QR codes get scanned

Every scan logs timestamps, device types, and volume. You can monitor exactly when patrons scan your menus across lunch, happy hour, and dinner shifts, helping managers schedule front-of-house staff with greater precision.

Common questions

Can I link to a PDF instead of a website?▾
Yes. You can link your dynamic QR code directly to any hosted menu PDF or mobile website.
Can I track how many diners scan my menu?▾
Yes. The QRtracer dashboard tracks total scans, unique-scan estimates, and scan volume by hour so you can analyze guest traffic patterns.
Will table codes keep working if I cancel?▾
Existing dynamic codes keep redirecting and recording scans on Free and after cancellation. You can still change the destination. Keep the menu page online.
What print size is best for table tents?▾
We recommend at least 1.5 × 1.5 inches (3.8 × 3.8 cm) so guests can scan comfortably from seated positions across the table.
