Why a QR menu helps
For restaurants that change their menu often, a QR menu cuts printing costs dramatically — update the source file and there's no need to reprint paper menus.
One QR per table is also easier to keep clean, and adding a multilingual menu helps with foreign customers.
Where to host the menu
The simplest option is uploading a menu image or PDF to a cloud drive (Google Drive, etc.), setting sharing to 'Anyone with the link', and turning that link into a QR.
If you can build the menu as a web page (a site, a Notion page), that's better — it loads faster than a PDF and fits mobile screens naturally.
The common PDF-link trap
If the cloud sharing setting is 'Restricted to specific accounts' instead of 'Anyone with the link', customers who scan the QR just get an access-denied error. Double-check the sharing setting before printing.
PDFs are also awkward to pinch-zoom on a phone and load slowly. Where possible, switch to a few images (JPG/PNG) or a simple web page for a better customer experience.
Creating and placing the QR
In 'Create QR', paste your menu link as the URL type, pick a color matching your brand, and download the SVG for printing.
A table stand or laminated card holds up well over time. When the menu changes, just replace the source file — the QR doesn't need to change, as long as the link itself stays the same.
