Dynamic: Change dishes or replace your menu platform without reprinting every table.
What to put behind the code
A fast HTML menu with prices, allergens and opening hours. A PDF works if text is readable on a phone.
Print for the place it will live
Starting size: 3 × 3 cm. This is a starting point, not a scanning guarantee. Allow a comfortable seated scan from the opposite side of a small table.
Use wipeable matte table tents; glossy laminates reflect overhead lights. Keep the four-module quiet zone intact and use dark modules on a light background. Read the print-size guide.
Where to place it
- Table edge away from cutlery
- Entrance menu board
- Takeaway bag beside the order number
Mistakes to avoid
- Linking to a desktop-only PDF
- Hiding allergen information behind a login
- Placing the code under a reflective condiment holder
Before committing to a print run
Print a proof on the final material. Scan it with more than one phone, from the normal viewing position. Check the opened destination while signed out and confirm it leads to the intended page or action. A readable fallback address or contact detail helps visitors who cannot scan.
Questions about restaurant menus
Can I replace a PDF menu?
Yes. Host the PDF yourself and update a dynamic destination when you publish the replacement.
What should I test before printing?
Scan the final restaurant menus artwork on more than one phone. Check the destination or imported details, the real viewing distance and the final printed surface.
