QR Menu Generator

QR Menu Generator is a web-based digital menu builder that turns a restaurant's dishes, photos, and prices into a mobile-friendly online menu customers open by scanning a QR code — no app installation required.

What is QR Menu Generator?

QR Menu Generator is an online tool that converts a restaurant's menu items, photos, descriptions, and prices into a digital menu customers open in their phone's browser by scanning a QR code — no app installation needed. It is built for restaurants, cafés, bars, and food trucks, and it includes features like allergen labels compliant with EU Regulation 1169/2011, real-time updates, and premium themes. The platform is accessible via a web dashboard and works on any device with a camera and browser.

Key Features

QR Menu Generator packs the tools a modern digital menu needs into one dashboard, from QR code generation to allergen labeling and analytics.

• Built-in QR code generation — Every menu gets its own QR code that customers scan with a phone camera; the code stays the same even when menu content changes.
• EU 1169/2011 allergen labels — Tag each dish with any of the 14 mandatory allergen categories (gluten, milk, eggs, nuts, soy, etc.) to help customers make safe choices and meet European food information regulations.
• Instant menu updates — Change prices, descriptions, availability, or add new items from the dashboard; the same QR code always serves the latest version.
• Premium themes — Choose from professionally designed menu themes that match your restaurant's brand and look polished on mobile screens.
• Analytics — Track menu views and engagement trends to understand how customers interact with your digital menu (available on paid plans).
• Bulk price update — Update all menu item prices at once with the bulk editing tool instead of editing item by item.
• AI menu translation — Let AI translate the entire menu into multiple languages so international guests can browse in their own language; available as a paid add-on with a one-time batch of credits.
• Multi-location management — Manage one restaurant or multiple locations from a single platform on higher-tier plans.

Who is it for?

QR Menu Generator is designed for any food or drink business that serves customers face-to-face and wants to reduce printing costs while keeping menu information accurate and accessible.

• Restaurant and café owners — Replace printed menus and PDFs with a QR-code-based digital menu that can be updated instantly when prices or dishes change.
• Food trucks and pop-ups — Launch a mobile-friendly menu quickly without technical setup, and place the QR code on packaging or a counter stand.
• Bar owners — Show drink lists with clear allergen information and easy access on customer phones.
• Multi-location restaurant groups — Manage menus for every branch from one dashboard, with the ability to update all locations at once.

What can you do with it?

Beyond a simple digital menu, QR Menu Generator lets restaurant operators handle everyday tasks directly from the dashboard.

• Update menus on the fly: Change a dish's price or mark it sold out from the dashboard; the QR code on tables always shows the current version.
• Meet allergen compliance: Add 14 mandatory allergen labels per dish (gluten, milk, eggs, etc.) so inspectors and guests see the information required by EU Regulation 1169/2011.
• Translate menus automatically: Use the AI translation feature to generate a multi-language version of your menu for international guests.
• Generate WiFi QR codes (Pro plan): Let customers connect to your WiFi by scanning a QR code instead of typing a password.

How does it work?

Setting up a QR menu is a three-step process designed to take less than 15 minutes.

1. Create your menu — add categories, dishes, prices, photos, and descriptions from the dashboard.
2. Customize the experience — choose a theme, add allergen or dietary labels, and make the menu fit your brand.
3. Share your QR code — place the generated QR code on tables, counters, or takeaway packaging; update the same menu anytime.

The entire workflow runs in a web browser — no technical setup or app installations are required.
