QR Codes for Restaurants and Cafés
Menus that change when your kitchen does, plus orders and reviews from the same square on the table.
Restaurants were the first place most people ever scanned a code, and they are still where it makes the most difference. The menu changes constantly and the printing never keeps up.
The menu is the thing that keeps changing
Prices move. Suppliers let you down. A dish sells out at eight o'clock on a Friday. None of that is unusual, and all of it makes a printed menu wrong.
Put the menu on a page and edit it from your phone behind the counter. The card on the table stays exactly as it is.
- Change a price without a print run
- Mark a dish sold out during service
- Add tonight's special in a minute
- Show allergens next to each item
- Photos of the food, which paper rarely has room for
Different menus at different times, without doing anything
You serve breakfast until eleven and dinner from six. Set the times once and the code shows the right menu on its own, on the days you choose.
It follows your opening hours rather than the visitor's phone clock, so a tourist from another timezone still sees what you are actually cooking.
Any hour you have not covered falls back to a menu you pick, so nobody ever scans and gets nothing.
Orders and feedback come to you directly
Switch on ordering and a guest can build an order at the table and send it to your email or to a system you already use. We hand it over and keep nothing.
Feedback works the same way, which means you often hear about a problem while the person is still in the building and you can fix it.
One menu across every table and both sites
Write the menu once and point every table code at it. One edit and the whole room is correct.
If you run a second site with the same food, it can share the same menu while keeping its own printed design.
Numbers that tell you about your day
Scan counts by hour show you the real shape of service, not the shape you assume. If lunch and dinner are separate menus, you can see which one gets opened more.
