Getting a QR menu live with MenuBook takes minutes, not weeks. Here is exactly what the process looks like.
Step 1: Build your menu
Sign up free and add your dishes, drinks, and desserts through the simple menu builder. Create sections like Starters or Drinks, add prices, photos, and allergen notes, and preview your menu exactly as guests will see it. Most restaurants finish their first menu in under an hour — just copy your items over from your existing printed menu.
Step 2: Print your QR code
MenuBook generates a unique QR code for your menu automatically. Download it in print-ready quality and add it to table tents, stickers, window decals, or your existing menu cards. One code works on every table, and you can print as many copies as you like.
Step 3: Guests scan and browse
Guests point their phone camera at the code and your menu opens instantly — no app to download, no account to create. They browse your dishes with photos and prices, and your staff take the order as usual. When you update a price or add a special, it goes live right away.
Practical tips
Where to place your QR codes
Put a code on every table where guests naturally look — right next to the napkin holder or cutlery works best. Add one at the entrance so people waiting for a table can start browsing, and one at the counter or bar for takeaway guests.
Table tents vs. stickers
Table tents are sturdy and easy for guests to spot, which makes them ideal for full-service restaurants. Waterproof stickers are cheaper and work well on windows, doors, and takeaway packaging. Many venues use both: tents on tables, stickers at the entrance and on the till.
Make the code big enough to scan
Print your QR code at least 2 x 2 inches (5 x 5 cm) so phones can pick it up quickly, even in dim lighting. High contrast — a dark code on a light background — scans fastest.
