Free QR menu generator

A QR code menu for your café or restaurant, free

A QR code menu lets guests read your menu on their own phone. Make a free code for any menu link below, or go one step further: a digital menu where guests also order and pay from the table, with the order sent straight to your kitchen.

Free QR code menu generator

Turn your menu link into a QR code.

Paste the web address of your menu (a page on your website, or a PDF you have uploaded) and download a print-ready code. It’s free, needs no sign-up, and the code links straight to your address.

Print it 3cm square or larger, dark on a light background. A code that opens a PDF only shows the menu: to let guests order and pay from the table, each table needs its own ordering code.

01

QR menu or QR ordering?

A QR code menu shows your menu on the guest’s phone; they still order from staff. It is cheap and quick, and the free generator on this page is all you need for it.

QR ordering goes further: guests choose dishes and options, pay, and the order reaches the kitchen with the table number on it. It saves staff a trip to every table and keeps the queue moving at busy times.

02

A digital menu you never reprint

A PDF menu behind a QR code has to be replaced every time a price changes. A Café QR digital menu is live: change a price, add a special or mark a dish sold out from the dashboard, and every printed code already shows it.

  • ✓Photos, descriptions, sizes, extras and allergen information
  • ✓Sold-out items hidden from guests straight away
  • ✓Your logo and colours on the menu

Printing and placing the codes

Print codes at 3cm square or larger, dark on a light background, on an upright tent card rather than a flat sticker. Give each table its own ordering code, and use your menu link, not a table code, on Instagram or Google.

Questions

Straight answers, before you start.

Visit the help centre →Ask us on WhatsApp
Is the QR code menu generator really free?+

Yes. It makes the code in your browser from any web address you type, with no sign-up, and the code links straight to that address, so it keeps working whether or not you use Café QR.

Can guests order from a QR code menu?+

Not from a code that opens a PDF or web page. To let guests order and pay from the table, each table needs its own ordering code, which Café QR includes in every plan from £9.99 a month.

Do guests need an app to scan a QR menu?+

No. The camera app on any recent iPhone or Android phone opens the menu in the browser.

What size should a QR menu code be?+

Three centimetres square or larger, and bigger on windows and A-boards, printed dark on a light background with clear space around the edge.
