What should the menu QR code link to?

Link it to a web page or a PDF of your menu hosted online. A mobile-friendly web page reads best on phones; a PDF works but can be harder to zoom.

How do I update the menu without reprinting codes?

Use a dynamic QR code. The printed code stays the same while you change where it points — swap in the new menu page or PDF whenever prices change.

Do guests need an app to scan it?

No. Every modern phone camera reads QR codes natively.

QR Code Menus for Restaurants: A Simple Guide

Why restaurants switched to QR menus

QR code menus took off for hygiene, but they stuck around because they are cheaper and more flexible than print. Change a price, add a special, or swap the whole menu for brunch — without paying a printer or waiting days.

How to make one

Put your menu online — a simple web page or a hosted PDF.
Open the Scanmint generator, choose URL, and paste the menu link.
Brand it with your colors and logo, download, and print it on table tents or stickers.

The dynamic advantage

Prices change. With a static code you would reprint every table tent each time. A dynamic QR code lets you keep the same printed code forever and just update the destination — and you get scan counts so you can see how many guests actually open the menu. Start with the menu QR generator.

Tips that help

Keep the menu page fast and mobile-first, add a short label next to the code ("Scan for menu"), and test it on both iPhone and Android before you print a hundred of them.
