How to make a QR code menu for your restaurant (free)
A QR code menu lets guests view your menu on their phone by scanning a small code on the table. It's cheap, always up to date, and takes minutes to set up. Here's how to make one for free.
Step 1: Build your digital menu
List your sections (breakfast, mains, drinks) and add each dish with a price and a short description. Keep it clean and easy to scan on a phone.
With MenuMint you build this in minutes, and it's hosted for you — no website needed.
Step 2: Get your QR code
Once your menu is built, you get a QR code that links to it. Download and print it for table tents, stickers, or the physical menu itself.
Because the code points to your live menu, you only ever print it once.
Step 3: Put it on the tables
Place the QR where guests will see it — a small table-tent card works well. Add a line like "Scan for our menu" so it's obvious what to do.
Step 4: Update prices anytime — no reprinting
This is the big win over a printed menu. Change a price, add a special or remove a sold-out dish from your phone, and every guest who scans sees the update instantly. The QR never changes.

How do I make a free QR code menu?
Build your menu in a tool like MenuMint, which generates a QR code linking to it. Print the QR for your tables. The free plan lets you create a digital menu and QR with no card.
Can I update the menu without reprinting the QR code?
Yes. The printed QR points to your live menu, so editing a price or dish updates instantly for everyone — the code itself never needs reprinting.
Do guests need an app to scan the menu?
No. Modern phone cameras scan QR codes natively. Guests point their camera at the code and the menu opens in their browser.
