How do I make a QR code menu for free?

Type your restaurant's dishes and prices into Digital Menu, add your logo and colour, and press Publish. You immediately get a public menu link and a QR code to download as a PNG or SVG. Print the code for your tables; guests scan it and the menu opens in their browser.

  1. Add your dishes

    Create categories and type each dish's name, price and description, up to 300 items. Or start from a template.

  2. Make it yours

    Upload your logo, choose your brand colour and a dark or light theme. A live phone preview shows the result.

  3. Publish

    You get a public link to share and a private edit link to change the menu later. No account is created.

  4. Download and print

    Download the SVG for print and the PNG for screens, then put the code on tables, the counter and the window.

Does this QR code menu expire?

No. The QR code stores your menu's permanent public link rather than a rented redirect, so there is no plan or trial that can lapse. It keeps working for as long as your menu is published, and every change you save appears on the same printed code.

Many “free” QR generators issue dynamic codes that route through their own servers and stop working when a trial ends. Read static vs dynamic QR codes before you print anything.

What do guests see when they scan the code?

A fast, phone-sized menu page rather than a shrunken PDF: readable text, a row of category shortcuts, prices in your currency and clear dietary labels. Your logo and brand colour make it look like your restaurant, and nothing has to be installed or downloaded first.

  • Category shortcuts. A sticky row of tabs jumps to Starters, Mains or Drinks.

  • Dietary labels and filters. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and spicy dishes are labelled, and guests can filter by them.

  • Search. Longer menus get a search box, so guests find a dish by name.

  • Sold-out dishes. Switch a dish off and it shows as sold out until you switch it back on.

  • Opening hours. Weekly hours with an open-now indicator in your time zone.

Which QR code file should I print?

Print the SVG. It is a vector file, so it stays sharp at any size, from a 3 cm table sticker to a 20 cm window poster. Use the PNG on screens: Instagram stories, WhatsApp, emails and documents. Both files open the same permanent menu link.

Keep every code at least 2 × 2 cm, dark on a light background, with a blank margin around it. The guide how to make a QR code menu has a size table for each placement.

How is this different from other QR menu generators?

Most QR menu generators need an email signup, start a free trial, or issue codes that depend on a paid plan. Digital Menu needs no account, costs nothing, and its code points straight at your menu. The trade-off is that it is view-only: there is no online ordering and no scan analytics.

Frequently asked questions

Something else on your mind? Email hello@tablemenu.link and a person will reply.

Is the QR code menu really free?

Yes. Building the menu, publishing it and downloading the QR code as a PNG or SVG are all free. There is no trial, no card and no paid tier to upgrade to.

Do guests need an app to scan it?

No. The camera app on any recent iPhone or Android phone reads the code and opens your menu in the browser.

Can I change the menu after printing the QR code?

Yes. Open your private edit link, change dishes or prices and save. The printed code opens the updated menu immediately, so you never reprint for a menu change.

Do I need a different QR code for each table?

No. Each menu has one link and one QR code, and the same code goes on every table. If you need different menus, such as lunch and dinner or two locations, create a separate menu for each; every menu is free.

Can guests order from the QR menu?

No. Digital Menu is view-only: guests read dishes and prices, then order with your staff. For QR table ordering and payments, Menuthere, the company that makes Digital Menu, offers a paid ordering product.

Put your menu online before your next service

It takes about ten minutes and costs nothing. You get a link and a QR code the moment you publish.
