Your menu, on every table

Point the code at the address where your menu lives. Prices change there, not on the sticker.

  • Change the menu without reprinting the table.

How it works

How to put your menu in a code

Pick an address you will never change

The menu on your own site, not a Drive link. That address is frozen inside the code for good.

Give it the look of the place

Colour, dot shape and your logo in the middle. A high error-correction level tolerates both the logo and the wear better.

Download the SVG for the printer

Vector, so the same file works for a table sticker and for a sign at the door without losing a thing.

What decides whether this works is not the code: it is the address it points at. The code is static and cannot be edited once printed, so the address has to be one you will never change — something like yoursite.com/menu — with the menu that does change living behind it. Then raising the price of lunch is editing a page, not reprinting fifty stickers.

Avoid pointing at a file on Drive, Dropbox or the like. Those services rewrite the link when you replace the file, so the day you upload the new menu the code on the tables points at a document that no longer exists. It is the most common way to discover, on an ordinary Tuesday, that no table has a menu.

Think about the destination format too. A PDF laid out for A4 forces pinching and dragging on a phone screen, and plenty of browsers download it instead of opening it. A simple web page whose text reflows to the width is readable sitting at the table; the PDF reads badly and gets abandoned.

And mind the print. A code on dark wood or behind scratched plastic scans worse than it looks on screen: print with real contrast, keep the white margin around it — the code needs that to be found at all — and use the SVG, which survives any size. Before you stick fifty down, test one with an old phone, because that is what half your customers are carrying.

Questions about menu codes

Can I change the menu without changing the code?
Yes, as long as the code points at a stable address on your site. You change what is on that page and every sticker already stuck down still leads to the right menu.
PDF or web page?
A web page. A PDF is laid out for paper, forces pinch-zooming, and some browsers download it rather than showing it. A page reflows to the width of the phone.
How big should I print it?
For a table, about 3 cm across is enough if the print has real contrast and keeps its white margin. For a sign at the entrance, scale it up in proportion to the distance it will be scanned from.
Can I put the restaurant's logo in the middle?
Yes. Upload your logo and adjust its size; raise the error-correction level so the code still reads with that part covered.
Will I know how many customers scanned the menu?
The code counts nothing by itself. If your menu page has analytics, the visits show up there; the code simply leads to the address, passing through no counter on the way.
