Menu QR Code Generator
A menu code that cannot expire, get throttled or start charging you: static QR straight to your menu page, verified before download, with print-size guidance for table tents and windows.
Enter an international number starting with + so it dials from anywhere.
Every field you add makes the code denser. Denser codes need a larger print; watch the module guidance under the preview.
Scanning opens the point in the phone's map app (geo: link). Get coordinates by right-clicking a spot in any online map.
Style
Below the required 4-module quiet zone. Scanners need that blank border to find the code; this code cannot be marked Verified and should not be printed.
#000000 #ffffff Logo overlay (optional)
Error correction switched to H so the code still scans under the logo.
Print size (for the PDF and guidance)
Fill in the fields to generate a QR code.
Not tested
PNG for screens and documents. SVG for print shops: vector, sharp at any size. PDF prints at exactly the physical width you set. All three include your logo, and everything runs in your browser: your data and logo never leave this page.
The restaurant QR checklist
Host the menu at a stable address you own, ideally a fast mobile page rather than a heavy PDF; phones on cellular are your worst case, so a menu that loads in a second sells more than one that loads in ten. Encode that address here, add UTM tags per placement if you want scan counts, and print at 4 to 5 cm for tables, larger for windows. Level Q or H error correction survives lamination glare and daily wear. Keep the quiet zone: the blank border around the code is not wasted space, it is what makes scanners find the code on a busy table-tent design.
Then test once with a real phone, from a chair, in evening light. That thirty-second test catches everything this page cannot see about your specific print and laminate.
Menu QR code FAQ
How do I make a QR code for my restaurant menu?
Put your menu online (a page on your website, or a PDF you host), paste its address in the URL field above, download and print. The tool adds https:// if you forget it, verifies the finished code by decoding it, and the PDF export gives you an exact physical size for table tents. Total cost: zero, forever.
Will my menu QR code stop working like the "free trial" ones did?
No, and this is the trap that burned thousands of restaurants: QR services offer free dynamic codes that route through their domain, then the trial ends and every printed table tent points at a paywall page. Codes from this page are static, they encode YOUR menu address directly. Nothing sits in between, so nothing can expire, throttle or ransom the code.
How do I update the menu without reprinting the codes?
Encode a stable address you control, like yoursite.com/menu, and change what that page shows whenever prices or dishes change. The printed code never needs to change because the address never changes. This is the correct way to get "editable" QR behavior without a subscription service.
What size should a table QR code be?
For scanning at arm's length (30 to 50 cm), print at least 4 to 5 cm wide; the rule is one tenth of the scan distance. Set your width in the print controls above and the guidance tells you if the code is dense enough to need more. Laminated? Choose error correction Q or H to survive the glare.
Can I see how many people scan the menu?
Yes, without any QR service: add UTM parameters to the menu URL (for example ?utm_source=qr&utm_campaign=table-tent) and scans appear in your website analytics as visits from that exact placement. Different codes for tables, window and delivery flyers tell you which placement actually gets used.
