A barcode menu that scans first time

What many people call a menu barcode is usually a QR code. It carries the link to your menu, and guests open it with the phone camera, no app needed.

  • A QR code, not a linear barcode

    A linear barcode usually holds a few digits and suits products. A menu needs a link, which is why a QR code is used.

  • Scans without an app

    iPhone and Android cameras read the code directly and open the menu right away.

  • Print it large and clear

    Black on white with an empty margin around it, at no less than 2x2 cm. Test it on both phones before a big print run.

  • Check your codes

    Watch for fake stickers placed over real codes, and keep a few printed copies of the menu as a backup.

Static or dynamic code?

A static code carries your page link directly, so it cannot be edited, does not count scans and never expires. A dynamic code carries a short link that redirects to your page, so the destination can change and scans can be counted, but it works only while the service behind it stays active.

  • Do your edits show on the printed code without reprinting?
  • Is it static or dynamic?
  • What happens when the trial or the plan ends?
  • Is there a limit on scans?
  • Does it show an ad or the provider logo?
