Setting up a QR menu in 5 minutes

A QR menu lets customers scan a code and see your live menu on their own phone. No app or download required. The content is always current. Here’s how fast you can get one live with Menu Tools.

1. Sign up

Create an account. A default location and menu are created for you automatically, so you have something to work with right away.

2. Add a few items

Add items to your menu. Organize by categories beer, wine, cider, food, or coffee. Each item can carry the details that matter: ABV and style for drinks, serve type (tap, bottle, or can), a description, and one or more sizes with pricing. Toggle availability on and off without re-editing the whole item.

3. Publish

Publish the menu. That’s the moment it goes live. Both the TV display URL and the QR menu point at the same up-to-date data.

4. Grab your QR code

Each menu has a scannable QR code. Print it on table cards, posters, or coasters. When a customer scans it, the live menu opens in their phone’s browser.

5. Update any time

From then on, any change you make from your laptop or phone is reflected the next time a customer opens the link.

Five minutes is all it takes start to finish. Try it now.
