A QR code menu turns a printed table sticker into your fastest sales channel: guests scan, the menu opens on their phone, and they can order without waiting. This guide walks through the five steps that take you from a paper menu to a live, trackable QR menu — and the mistakes that make most restaurant QR codes useless.
A static QR code encodes a fixed file, usually a PDF. Change a price and every printed code is wrong. A dynamic QR code points at a web address you control, so you can edit dishes, prices and availability behind the same printed code forever. It is also the only way to measure scans. Always print dynamic codes.
Add your categories, dishes, prices, photos and dietary tags. In Grizfy you can upload a photo or PDF of your existing menu and the AI import arranges items, prices and descriptions for you.
Create each branch and its tables. This lets one scan tell the system the restaurant, branch and table, so guests never have to type a table number.
Create a QR code that points at your live menu URL. Choose a branch-wide code for posters and windows, or per-table codes for ordering and waiter calls.
Add your logo, colours and frame text such as “Scan for menu”, then download a high-resolution PNG or print-ready PDF for table tents, stickers and flyers.
Stick the codes on tables, test one scan on a real phone, then watch scans, devices and orders per code in your analytics so you know which placements work.
Use a branch-wide code for windows, flyers, delivery bags and social posts — anywhere the guest is not seated. Use per-table codes inside the venue: they identify the exact table, which is what makes ordering, waiter calls and table-level analytics possible. Most restaurants run both.
Every code should be measurable: how many scans, on which devices, at what time of day, and how many of those scans became orders. That is how you learn that the window code beats the flyer code, or that table 12 never gets scanned because the sticker is behind the condiments.
Publish your menu at a stable web address, then generate a QR code that points to that address. Use a dynamic QR code so you can change the menu behind it without reprinting. Grizfy does both in one place: your menu is hosted, and the QR code is generated, branded and tracked for you.
Generating a bare QR code is free, but it only points at a file. A restaurant-grade QR menu needs hosting, editing, availability toggles, ordering and analytics. Grizfy includes all of that from $29 per month with a 7-day free trial.
Yes. Grizfy QR codes are dynamic — they point at your live menu, so price changes, new dishes and sold-out items appear instantly on the same printed code.
No. The menu opens in the phone's browser, works on iPhone and Android, and requires no login or download from your guests.
Yes. A table QR code identifies the exact table, so guests can order and request service, and the order reaches the assigned waiter and the kitchen display instantly.
No. Grizfy sits on top of the POS you already run and syncs orders out to it, so there is no migration and no new hardware.
Upload your existing menu, let Grizfy arrange it, and print branded QR codes in minutes. 7-day free trial, no POS migration.
