QR Code Menu Generator for Restaurants
A restaurant menu QR code links diners straight to your online menu when they scan it — no app and no paper menus to clean. Paste your menu link below, brand it with your colors and logo, download it, and print it for your tables. Free, with no monthly fees.
Digital menus are now standard in restaurants, cafes and bars, and a QR code is how guests reach them. Unlike paid menu platforms that charge a monthly fee, QR Gen just turns your existing menu link into a clean, branded code you own outright. Host your menu anywhere — a PDF, your website, a Google Doc or a menu service — and point the code at it.
How It Works
Put your menu online
Host your menu as a web page or PDF and copy its link (your site, a Google Drive PDF, or a menu host).
Generate and brand the code
Paste the menu link, add your restaurant's colors and logo, and pick a clean dot style.
Print it for the tables
Download a high-resolution PNG or SVG and print table tents, stickers or a window decal.
Why restaurants use QR code menus
QR menus cut printing costs, let you change prices and dishes instantly, and feel modern and hygienic. Guests scan with their phone camera and browse without downloading anything. Because the code points to your own link, you are never locked into a subscription — update the menu at the source and every printed code reflects the change immediately.
How to set up your menu link
Any public link works. The simplest options are a menu page on your website, a PDF uploaded to Google Drive (set sharing to 'anyone with the link'), or a free menu host. Keep the link short and make sure it opens cleanly on mobile. Then paste it into the generator on this page to create the code.
Designing a menu QR code that scans on every table
Print at a sensible size — around 3 to 5 cm is comfortable for a table tent scanned from arm's length — and keep a clear margin around the code. Use dark modules on a light background for contrast, and if you add a logo, keep it small and centered. Test the printed code under your restaurant's actual lighting before rolling it out to every table.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do guests need a special app to scan the menu?
No. Modern iPhone and Android cameras scan QR codes natively — guests just point their camera at the code and tap the link that appears.
Can I update the menu after printing the QR code?
Yes. The code points to your menu link, so when you update the menu at that link the change is live instantly — no need to reprint the code.
Is this really free with no monthly fee?
Yes. Unlike subscription menu platforms, QR Gen creates a code you own with no signup, no watermark and no recurring cost. You only need somewhere to host your menu link.
