How a restaurant QR menu works

A QR menu opens a mobile web page when a guest scans the code on a table. It presents dishes, descriptions and prices. Providing a digital menu does not itself mean the service includes ordering or payment. The first goal is accurate information that is easy to read on a phone.

Organise dishes around your guests

Start with clear categories such as starters, main courses, desserts and drinks. Split very long lists into useful groups. Avoid listing the same item with inconsistent names or prices. Keep the name short and use the description for ingredients and preparation details. Photographs should reflect the actual dish rather than create a misleading impression of portion size.

Keep prices and translations consistent

Assign responsibility for price updates. Show portion and volume differences clearly, and verify allergen details with the kitchen rather than guessing. If you provide English, Russian or Azerbaijani versions, check them separately. A short ingredient description can be more useful than a literal translation of a dish name. Review the public page after each change.

Place and maintain the code

Choose a visible, well-lit location with a short instruction to scan for the menu. Test the printed code from a seated position on different phones. Keep an alternative for guests who cannot use a phone or internet connection. When the existing menu page stays the same, content updates do not require reprinting its QR code. Treat scan counts as scans, not orders: one guest may open a menu more than once.
