How to make a QR digital menu for your restaurant (2026 guide)
A QR digital menu lets your customers view your restaurant menu by scanning a code with their phone camera. No apps, no downloads, no laminated menus getting dirty. This guide shows how to create yours in under 10 minutes.
Why switch to a QR menu?
- Save money: never reprint menus when a price changes.
- Instant updates: out of a dish? Hide it from your phone.
- More sales: photos and descriptions make customers order more.
- Tourists: a bilingual EN/ES menu raises the average ticket in tourist areas.
- Hygiene: each customer uses their own phone.
Step by step
- Create your account in a QR menu tool like Cartia (14-day free trial).
- Add your restaurant: name, city, logo and color.
- Create categories (Starters, Mains, Desserts, Drinks...).
- Add dishes with price, description and allergens.
- Download the QR and print it for tables, bar or window.
Tips to make it work
Put the QR visible on every table with a small "Scan to see the menu" sign. Add photos to your star dishes: they boost orders of those dishes by up to 30%. And always keep prices up to date.
