Digital Menu QR Code: Free Setup Guide

A digital menu QR code lets guests scan a code at the table and read your menu on their phone. You can set one up for free, without an app, signup or monthly fee. This is how.

What is a digital menu QR code?

It is a QR code that contains a link to your menu. When a guest scans it, their phone opens the link and shows the menu. The menu itself lives online as a PDF or a web page, and the code only points to it.

Step 1: Put your menu online

Upload your menu as a PDF to your website, or create a simple menu page. Make sure the link is public and starts with https://. See how to host a PDF for a QR code for ideas.

Step 2: Create the QR code for free

1. Open the free digital menu QR code maker.
2. Paste the link to your menu.
3. Add your logo and brand color, choose a design and download your table card.

Step 3: Print and place it

Print the card at 100% size on matte paper. Put one on each table, near the till and on the door. Keep a few paper menus for guests who prefer them. Read printing QR codes for tips.

Step 4: Keep the menu up to date

Because the code only holds the link, you can replace the file or page at the same address when prices or dishes change. Printed cards keep showing the latest menu.

Is it really free?

The QR code and flyer from Qrenzo are free, with no watermark and no signup. The only other cost is wherever you host your menu, which can be your own website or a free file-sharing service. If you need online ordering, compare options in free vs paid QR menu generators.
