Why switch

Your paper menu costs more than you think

Reprints at every change

A price goes up, a dish runs out, a typo slips in: everything has to be redone. And stained menus end up in the bin.

Tourists pointing at the page

Without a translation, foreign guests order at random or skip the dishes they don’t understand.

Service time lost

Bringing menus, explaining allergens, repeating the specials: minutes your team could spend selling.

Features

The guide

Restaurant QR menus: a guide to getting started

What is a QR code menu for a restaurant?

A QR menu is the digital version of your menu, opened by scanning a QR code with a smartphone camera. Guests install nothing: the menu opens in their browser, sized for their screen.

Unlike a simple PDF of your paper menu, a real digital menu is designed for mobile: tappable categories, photos, search, filters (vegetarian, gluten-free, halal…) and a language picker. That is the difference between a menu guests endure and one they enjoy browsing.

Why switch to a QR menu in your restaurant?

The first gain is flexibility: change a price, add a daily special or remove a sold-out dish in seconds. No more hastily rubbed-out chalkboards or “sorry, we’re out of that”.

The second is commercial: a dish with a great photo sells better, and a well-organised menu highlights your most profitable dishes. Automatic translation also opens your menu to tourists with no effort.

Real data on what guests look at

Should you keep a few paper menus?

Yes, and it is good practice. Keep two or three printed menus for guests who prefer not to use their phone. With Qarteo you can export your menu as a PDF at any time, so the paper version always matches the online one.

Next step: ordering from the table

Once your menu is online, you can go further whenever you like: table ordering, waiter call, guest reviews, loyalty card, then POS and kitchen display. Everything lives in the same tool, switched on at your restaurant’s pace.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a QR menu cost for a restaurant?

Qarteo has a free-forever plan to get started (up to 30 dishes). Paid plans add unlimited dishes, several languages, premium themes and online ordering. Prices are shown in your currency on the pricing page.

Do my guests need to download an app?

No. Every recent smartphone camera reads QR codes: the menu opens straight in the browser, in under two seconds.

Can I change my menu after printing the QR codes?

Yes, as often as you like. The QR code points to your online menu: you edit the menu, never the QR code.

How long does it take to create a QR menu?

About ten minutes if you import a photo of your paper menu: the AI creates categories, dishes and prices. Then add photos at your own pace.

Does the QR menu work in several languages?

Yes. Your menu can be translated automatically into 8 languages (French, English, Arabic, Spanish, Italian, German, Turkish, Chinese) and guests pick theirs with one tap. You can review and correct every translation.
