How to Make a QR Menu for Your Restaurant (Step by Step)

Get started free →

Making a QR menu is faster than it looks: you don't need a designer or a print shop, just your menu and a few minutes. This guide walks you through it.

1. Pick a QR menu platform

You can generate a standalone QR code that points to a PDF, but you lose the important part: orders, payments and live updates. A platform like Disho gives you the menu, the code and the management in one place. To understand the concept first, read what a QR menu is and how it works.

2. Create your restaurant and menu

Sign up, create the restaurant and add sections and dishes. For each dish you can set a name, price, description and allergens — and generate a photo, video and description with AI if you don't have material.

3. Upload dish photos and videos

The vertical 9:16 autoplay video is what sets your menu apart the most. No videos yet? Start with strong photos and add clips of your signature dishes over time.

4. Generate and print the QR codes

From the dashboard you print each table's QR in one click. Every code has its own URL, so the order is tied to the table automatically.

5. Place the QR codes and test the flow

Put the codes on the tables, scan one yourself and place a test order to see how it reaches the kitchen and how payment works.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Linking to a PDF instead of an interactive menu (no ordering or paying).
• Dark or low-quality photos.
• Not translating the menu if you serve tourists.
