QR menus for a small café: table codes, the counter and outdoor seats

A guest opening a QR menu on a garden table

A small café’s menu is a dozen lines, and the prices still change. Outdoors the paper gets wet, the sun fades it, the laminate peels. A QR menu ends the reprint: the guest points the phone camera, the menu opens, no app is installed.

A code per table, and one code for the counter

Table QR codes compared with a single counter code

Both open the same menu. They are stuck in different places.

A code printed before the menu is published says the menu is not ready. Publish first, then print. The seven benefits are in QR menu benefits. Print cost is in cutting paper menu costs.

What changes outdoors

  • The paper does not get wet. The code sits on a small stand or the table number.
  • When a price changes you do not collect the garden sheets. The menu and the till are the same record.
  • A sold-out item leaves the menu. The guest sees it before the waiter has to say so.
  • A photo does not eat space on paper. Even a short menu can show the cheesecake.

The code does not open an order or a bill. It only shows the menu. A lost table code can be renewed; the old print stops working, and the other tables are left alone.

A single-site coffee shop

On one site, the Basic plan includes the POS and the QR menu together. Filter, brew and milk choices are options on the product; the guest sees them on the menu and the waiter picks the same option at the till. Current plans are on the pricing page.

Frequently asked questions

What is a QR menu?

A menu page opened with the camera, without installing an app. The price comes from the product record on the till.

Can guests order from the QR code?

The guest reads the menu. The waiter or the till enters the order. The code does not grant ordering or payment.

What does a QR menu cost?

There is no separate QR product. The menu is inside the plan. See the pricing page for the number.

Conclusion
