Restaurant Menu QR Code Generator

Generate a permanent QR for your menu URL. No subscription, no third-party tracking.

What's the right way to do a menu QR code?

A menu QR code is just a URL QR — when scanned, it opens your menu page (or PDF) in the customer's browser. The two key choices are: static vs dynamic QRs, and PDF vs web menu. Static QRs (what this generator produces) point directly to a URL, never expire, work forever, and don't require a paid subscription — but you can't change the destination after printing. Dynamic QRs (offered by paid services like QR Tiger) redirect through a third-party server, can be re-pointed, and add tracking, but require a recurring fee. For most restaurants, static + a stable menu URL beats paying $10/month forever.

About static URL QR codes

A URL QR is the simplest QR variant — just a https:// link encoded directly into the QR.
  • Format: just the full URL, e.g. https://yourrestaurant.com/menu
  • Recommended error correction: M (15%) — survives small print smudges
  • Recommended size: at least 2 inches (5 cm) printed for reliable scanning across the room
  • Test scan with both iPhone Camera app and Google Lens before printing

Frequently asked questions

Should I link to a PDF menu or a web menu?
Web menu (HTML page) is better: it's mobile-friendly, faster to load, and Google can crawl it for SEO. PDFs require Acrobat/Preview to render, are harder to update, and don't help your search rankings. If you must use PDF, host it on your own domain so the URL is stable.
