QR code for your restaurant menu
Paste the link your menu lives at — your website, a PDF, a delivery platform page — and get a print-ready code. Generated in this browser: no account, no upload, no subscription that can switch it off after the table tents are printed.
Why a static code is the right choice for menus
Menu codes are the classic print-and-ransom victim: a “free” dynamic QR service lets you generate the code during a trial, you print two hundred table tents, and months later the subscription lapses — the codes on every table now lead to an expiry page, and reactivating them costs more per year than the printing did. A static code removes the middleman entirely: the URL is encoded in the pattern, so the code works for as long as the menu page exists and asks for nothing, ever. The full story is in the guide: Do QR codes expire?
Frequently asked questions
What happens to my menu QR code if a generator subscription lapses?
With a hosted “dynamic” QR service, the code dies: the pattern points at their redirect server, and when the trial or subscription ends they switch it off — the table tents you printed lead to an expiry page. That cannot happen here. StaticQR codes are static: your menu URL is inside the pattern itself, so there is no subscription and nothing in the middle that could lapse.
Can I change the menu later without reprinting the code?
Yes — as long as the menu lives at the same URL. Update the page or PDF the link points to and every printed code shows the new version instantly. What you cannot do with a static code is point it at a different URL after printing; keep the address stable (your own domain is ideal) and you will never need to.
I don’t have a website. What should the code point to?
Any public link that opens your menu: a PDF on Google Drive or Dropbox set to “anyone with the link”, your menu on a delivery platform, or a pinned social-media post. Paste that link here and test the printed code with the scanner before it goes on the tables.
What size should I print a table-tent menu code?
At least 2 × 2 cm for a code scanned across a table, 3–4 cm if guests scan standing up or from a distance. Download the SVG for the print shop (it scales losslessly), and keep the background white or near-white — the contrast warning under the preview tells you when a color combination is risky.
