How to create a QR menu for your restaurant (2026 guide)
The step-by-step guide to building a multilingual QR menu, printing it and updating it live — no technical skills, in under 10 minutes.
A QR menu replaces your paper card with a web page guests open by scanning a QR code at the table. You edit it whenever you like, no reprinting. Here is how to build one, step by step.
1. Gather your menu and photos
List your categories (starters, mains, desserts, drinks), your dishes with prices and descriptions, and prepare a few photos. Good photos noticeably increase orders of the dishes that have them.
2. Build the menu in the editor
With qartine you add your categories and dishes in a live editor, with a phone preview beside it. Drop in your photos, set prices, tag allergens and diets (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free).
3. Translate in one click
Write in French: auto-translation converts your menu to Dutch and English. Each guest reads the menu in their language — which matters in Belgium, in tourist areas of France, and in the Netherlands.
4. Publish, print the QR and place it
Publish your menu and download a scannable, on-brand QR code. You can generate one QR per table (the table number fills in automatically) and print the whole series in one click.
5. Update whenever you want
A sold-out dish, a price change, a daily special: edit live and it's online instantly. No more reprinting. You also track views, scans and your most-viewed dishes.
