The problem with static QR codes
- ✕Laminated menus on 40 tables — chef changes the menu, you reprint everything
- ✕Lunch and dinner menus need separate QR codes, doubling your print costs
- ✕No idea which dishes get the most views or how many customers scan the code
- ✕Health inspections require single-use menus — paper menus are wasteful and expensive
- ✕Seasonal menu changes mean another trip to the print shop every few months
The QioFork solution
- One QR code per table, forever. Update the menu URL from your phone in 10 seconds
- Time-based Smart Routing: lunch menu 11–15h, dinner menu after — same QR code
- Full analytics: scan count, peak hours, device breakdown — no cookies, no consent banner
- Digital menus are hygienic, always current, and cost zero paper
- Seasonal changes, daily specials, price updates — all done from the dashboard, no reprint
Everything a restaurant needs from a QR code
Time-based menu routing
One QR code automatically shows the lunch menu from 11–15h and the dinner menu after 15h. Happy hour specials? Add a third time window. No separate codes, no confusion.
Scan analytics
See exactly how many customers scan your menu QR, what time of day is busiest, and which tables get the most scans. Privacy-first — no cookies, no IP storage, GDPR compliant.
Update menu anytime
Changed a price? Added a dish? Removed an allergen? Update the destination URL and every table instantly shows the new menu. The printed QR code never changes.
Print-ready QR design
Design QR codes with your restaurant logo, brand colors, and transparent backgrounds. Export as SVG for crisp printing on table tents, menus, and window decals — up to 2048px PNG.
Multi-language menus
Language routing detects the customer's browser language and redirects to the right menu — French, English, Spanish, or any language you support. One QR code, every language.
Hygienic & contactless
Customers scan with their own phone — no physical menu handling. Perfect for health inspections, post-pandemic hygiene standards, and sustainability goals. Zero paper waste.

Update anytime, no reprint
Menu changes? Update the URL from your phone. Every table instantly shows the new menu. Watch scans roll in live.
"We printed QR codes on 40 table tents once. Since then we've changed the menu 12 times — seasonal specials, price adjustments, new dishes — and never reprinted. The lunch/dinner time routing alone saved us from printing two sets of menus."

Frequently asked questions
How do QR codes for restaurant menus work?+
You create a dynamic QR code that points to your digital menu URL. Customers scan it with their phone camera and are instantly redirected to your menu. Because the QR encodes a QioFork short link (not the menu URL directly), you can change the menu destination anytime without reprinting the QR code.
Can I have different menus for lunch and dinner?+
Yes. QioFork Smart Routing lets you set time windows: the same QR code shows the lunch menu from 11:00–15:00 and the dinner menu after 15:00. You can add as many time windows as you need — happy hour, weekend brunch, etc.
Do customers need to download an app?+
No. Every modern smartphone (iPhone since 2017, Android since 2018) scans QR codes natively with the camera app. Customers just point their camera — no app download required.
Can I see how many people scanned my menu?+
Yes. Your QioFork dashboard shows total scans, unique visitors, scan times (to identify peak hours), and device breakdown. Analytics are privacy-first: no cookies, no IP storage, fully GDPR compliant.
What if I change my menu URL?+
Log in to your dashboard, paste the new URL, and save. Every printed QR code instantly points to the new menu. This takes under 10 seconds and requires no reprinting.
Can I support multiple languages?+
Yes. Language routing detects the customer's browser language and redirects to the matching menu. One QR code can serve French, English, Spanish, and any other language you support.
Is this GDPR compliant?+
Yes. QioFork never stores IP addresses or sets cookies on your customers. Unique visitors are counted with a salted one-way hash that rotates daily. No personal data is retained, no consent banner needed.
