QR menus

QR code menus for restaurants. One code, always the right menu.

Pick a design and your restaurant’s QR code menu is ready, with your items, prices and food photos already in it. Translated automatically, with allergens and nutrition a tap away. Print the code once. It never changes, even when your menu does.

  • Pick a design in one tap
  • Translated automatically
  • Allergens & nutrition
  • Food photos that sell

A real QR menu · From the owner

“I see customers come down the steps and scan the QR code... so they know what they want before they even get to the counter”

Owner, Thistle Cafe · Austin, TX

Thistle’s code sits on the front of the counter, under three menu boards. The phone shows their QR menu: their logo, a photo carousel, then Bottles, Hot Drinks and Smoothies.

Lines, patios and venues

The line reads the menu before it reaches the counter.

Guests scan and browse while they wait, so they’re ready to order. Airports, casinos, resorts and stadiums add a dining directory: one code that lists every restaurant on site, with its hours and menu.

  • ✓Table cards, window decals, banners, receipts
  • ✓Share your menu link on Google, social pages and texts
  • ✓Menus hosted by Just a Menu get found on Google
  • ✓Each restaurant updates its own menu; the directory follows

QR menu questions.

Ask us anything: (202) 886-2442 or sales@justamenu.com. Step by step: How to make a QR code menu. Wondering what guests think? See when QR menus work, and when they don’t.

Do guests need an app?

No. The code opens your menu in the phone’s web browser.

Does my QR code change when my menu does?

No. Your QR code always opens your menu. Change the design or the items as often as you like; the code stays the same.

Can guests read it in Spanish?

Yes. Turn on a language and your menu is translated for you. Guests pick their language on their phone, and you can edit any translation.

Can I show allergy information?

Yes. Add allergy and nutrition notes to any item and turn them on for your QR menu. Guests tap the item to see them.

What happens when something sells out?

Mark it sold out in Menu Workspace, or let your POS do it (Square, Toast, Clover or Oracle). Your QR menu hides it or grays it out, whichever you pick.

Where can I put the code?

Anywhere you can print it. Download your QR code as an image and put it on table cards, stickers, window decals, receipts or your printed menu.

How much does a QR code menu cost?

Your QR menu comes with Just a Menu, along with your TV menu boards and print menus, all made from one menu. Contact us for pricing: tell us about your restaurant, and a real person replies within one business day.

Will my QR code ever expire?

No. Your QR code doesn’t expire, and it stays the same for as long as you use Just a Menu. The code you printed keeps opening your latest menu, so you never have to reprint it.

Can I make a QR code menu myself?

You don’t have to. Take a photo of your menu or upload a PDF, and your QR menu is made for you, with your items and prices in it. You pick the design, and you can change items, prices, colors and fonts any time. Step by step: how to make a QR code menu for your restaurant.

One code on the counter. The right menu on every phone.

Once you’re set up, a photo of your menu becomes your QR menu and your menu boards. Tell us a little about your restaurant to get started.
