Frequently Asked Questions

QR code menus are digital menus that customers access by scanning a QR code with their smartphone. Instead of using physical menus, diners view the menu on their device, often as a PDF, website, or interactive ordering system. Some QR code menus are static (fixed content), while others are dynamic (editable, trackable, and integrated with ordering and payment systems). They improve hygiene, reduce printing costs, and streamline service. Are you considering one for your restaurant?

QR code menus can be free or paid. Free options include static QR codes linking to a PDF or website, but they can’t be edited after creation. Paid options, like MENU TIGER, offer dynamic QR codes that allow menu updates, ordering, payments, and analytics. If you need a simple, non-editable QR code, you can create one for free. For more advanced features, a paid solution is required.

You can get a QR code for your menu in three simple steps:

1. Create or Upload Your Menu – Use a website, Google Drive, or a digital menu platform like MENU TIGER.
2. Generate a QR Code – Use a free QR code generator for a static link or a paid service for a dynamic, editable QR code.
3. Print & Display It – Download the QR code, print it on table tents, menus, or posters, and place it where customers can scan easily.

Here’s how to scan a menu QR code with a smartphone:

1. Open the Camera App – Most modern smartphones can scan QR codes directly using the camera
2. Point the Camera at the QR Code – Hold your phone steady so the QR code is clear.

If your camera doesn’t scan QR codes, use Google Lens (Android) or the Control Center QR scanner (iPhone).
