What is a QR menu (digital menu)?
A QR menu, also called a digital menu or e-menu, is your venue’s menu online. The guest scans a QR code with the phone camera and the menu opens instantly, with no app.
How a QR menu works
Place a QR code on every table. The guest points the phone camera at it and a link to your menu opens in the browser. There they browse categories, see photos, descriptions, allergens and prices and, when ordering is on, order straight from the table.
- The QR code stays the same when you change the menu
- The menu opens in the browser, nothing to download
- Prices and items change live from the dashboard
- Guests pick their language on their own phone
Why more venues are choosing it
A printed menu is out of date the moment a price changes or an item runs out. A QR menu updates instantly, lets tourists read it in their own language and frees waiters to serve instead of explaining the menu.
What you need to start
You need your list of items with prices (you can import it from a spreadsheet), some photos of the dishes and an internet connection. Then pick a template, print the QR codes and the menu is live, usually within an afternoon.
QR menus and table ordering
A QR menu can be read-only or take orders. With Easy Menu the guest can order, the order reaches the kitchen display and the waiter follows it in the app.
Is it suitable for every guest?
Yes. It works on most modern phones with nothing extra. For guests who do not use a phone you can still keep a printed copy, because a digital menu does not rule that out.
