QR code templates for restaurants and cafés.

What to print

• 01

  Table tents

  The code most guests scan. A menu code on a folded card at every table, with a short caption such as SCAN FOR MENU.

• 02

  Receipts and bags

  A review code on the receipt asks while the meal is fresh. A code on the takeaway bag brings the next order back to your own page.

• 03

  Window and door

  A menu code on the glass answers the question people stop to ask. A booking code by the door fills the tables of walk-by guests.

• 04

  Wine and drinks lists

  Printed lists go stale first. Put a dynamic code on the card and change the list behind it without a reprint.

Before you print

1. 01

   Size for a dim room

   Keep a table-tent code at least 2 cm (0.8 in) wide and leave the white margin around it. Candlelight and glossy lamination are the usual culprits.

2. 02

   Make the menu dynamic

   Dishes and prices change. A dynamic code keeps the printed card working after you edit the menu page.

3. 03

   Test from the seat

   Scan every code from a chair, under the room lights, before you print the whole run.

Questions

Which QR code should a restaurant use for the menu?

A menu code. It opens a mobile page you edit yourself, so the card on the table stays the same when the menu changes.

Can I put my logo in a restaurant code?

Yes. Add it in the editor and the error correction rises automatically. The scan check shows if the logo covers too much of the code.

Do I need one code for every table?

Only if you want to know which table scanned. One code per table lets you count scans by table; a single code is enough for a menu.
