Create a QR code menu your guests actually enjoy using. Add dish photos and videos, allergens, today’s specials and offers, dress it up for Diwali or Christmas, and print table QR codes and a matching PDF menu, all from one builder.
Built by a design team with 15+ years of experience and 2,000+ restaurant menus designed and printed.
A QR code menu is a restaurant menu that guests open on their phone by scanning a QR code on the table, counter or window. The code opens a mobile web page, not an app and not a PDF. Guests browse dishes, prices, photos and offers, and you can change the menu at any time without reprinting the code.
Most QR menus fail in the first five seconds. The code points to a PDF of the printed menu, so guests pinch, zoom and scroll sideways, then ask for a paper menu. Or the menu is a plain list of names and prices that sells nothing.
We saw this problem again and again while designing and printing more than 2,000 restaurant menus. So we built MenuFly as a QR menu builder that treats your phone menu like a designed menu: food you can see, specials that stand out, and a look that matches your restaurant.
Everything below works inside the QR code menu your guests open. Add only what suits your restaurant.
Mark every dish with allergens like gluten, nuts, dairy, egg and soy, plus tags such as veg, non-veg, Jain, vegan, spicy and chef’s special. Guests with allergies find safe dishes quickly, and your staff answer fewer questions at the table.
Show the chef’s special, a seasonal drink or a limited dessert at the top of the QR menu. It replaces the whiteboard near the entrance that guests walk past, and you can change it every day in a few clicks.
Start from a ready QR menu template for restaurants, cafes, bars, bakeries, pizzerias, cloud kitchens and hotels. Then change the colour theme to match your logo and interior.

Add a short video to any dish: a sizzler arriving, cheese stretching on a pizza, a cocktail being poured. Videos play right inside the QR menu, so guests see what they are ordering. You can also add a video at the top of the page to show your restaurant, kitchen or chef.
Add a promotion banner for a lunch combo, happy hour, buy-one-get-one or a festival offer. Place it at the top of the menu so every guest sees it, or at the bottom as a final nudge before they order.
Story-style highlights for crowd favourites and chef’s picks, with your own images or videos. Use them for new dishes, events or promotions.
Dress up your QR menu for the occasion with more than 30 animated effects: Diwali diyas, Christmas snow, New Year fireworks, Holi colours, Eid, Valentine’s Day, your restaurant’s anniversary and more. Switch an effect on for the season and off when it ends, with no redesign.
Choose from elegant serif fonts for fine dining, bold fonts for fast food, or clean modern fonts for cafes, so your QR menu looks like your restaurant, not like generic software.
No food photos yet? Pick from MenuFly’s gallery of food images, icons and backgrounds, then replace them with your own photos when you have them.
Most restaurants publish their first QR menu in under 15 minutes.
Choose one made for your type of restaurant. You can switch templates later without retyping anything.
Create categories like starters, mains and drinks, then add dishes, prices, portion sizes, allergens and tags.
Upload your logo, choose a colour theme and fonts, and add photos and videos, or pick images from the gallery.
Turn on Today’s Special, a promotion banner or a festive effect for the season.
Download table tents, posters and stickers, plus a PDF menu with the same QR code. Place them and watch the scans come in.
Many guests still like a printed menu, and some prefer to scan. With MenuFly you don’t choose. The same menu becomes:
Edit a dish once and update both versions, so your printed menu and QR menu never show different prices.
A4 PDF on every plan. A5 from Starter. Letter, booklet and print-ready 300 DPI export on Growth and Pro.

Our team has 15+ years of experience in design. Before MenuFly, we designed and printed more than 2,000 menus for restaurants, cafes, bars and hotels. We know why long dish names break layouts, why a special gets missed on a whiteboard, and why guests give up on a PDF menu.
MenuFly’s QR menu builder is that experience turned into software: layouts that read well on a phone, templates tested on real restaurants, and print files that printers accept the first time.
Daily bakes, build-your-own pizzas and a menu that changes by location.

Make the code at least 3 cm wide on a table tent and 10 cm on a window poster. A standing tent card works better than a flat sticker, because phone cameras struggle at a low angle.
“Scan for menu” gets more scans than a plain square. Every MenuFly frame includes the label.
A PDF downloads slowly and is hard to read on a phone. Use a real digital menu that fits the screen.
You only reprint when a table number or your branding changes.
If a section of tables stops scanning, the tent card has probably gone missing.
