Table tents and menus

Create beautiful menu QR codes with your logo, brand colors, and frame text that matches the dining room — ready for print the same day.

Happy hour and seasonal swaps

Point the same printed code at lunch, dinner, brunch, or limited-time offers. Change the URL in seconds instead of reprinting every tent.

Reviews, loyalty, and reservations

Route receipts, posters, and bag stuffers to Google reviews, rewards signup, OpenTable, or seasonal promos.

Operator playbook

From menu URL to printed tents

Three practical steps operators actually need — generate, choose static vs dynamic, then print so it scans under dining-room light.

  1. Step 1

    How to make a menu QR code in under a minute

    Paste your digital menu URL (PDF, Google Doc, Toast, Square, or your site). Pick a restaurant-friendly preset, add your logo if you want, then download PNG for quick print or SVG for sharp large formats. Static codes never expire and never phone home — guests keep scanning even if you never open QRtistry again.

  2. Step 2

    Static vs dynamic for restaurants

    Use free static menu QR codes when the link is durable — a permanent menu page or fixed reservation URL. Choose a $29 dynamic code when specials rotate, you run multi-location rollouts, or you want lunch-vs-dinner scan analytics. Dynamic codes keep the printed art; only the destination changes.

  3. Step 3

    Print tips for table tents that scan

    Export at least 1024px PNG (or SVG), keep quiet space around the code, and avoid dark menus on dark paper. Test one tent under restaurant lighting before you print the full set. For multi-table runs, use the bulk generator to stamp the same style across dozens of URLs.

Questions about print the menu code once?

Can I make a restaurant menu QR code for free?

Yes. Static menu QR codes are generated in your browser and download as PNG or SVG with no account, no watermark, and no expiry.

Can I change the menu after printing table tents?

Yes. Dynamic codes let you change the destination URL without reprinting. Static codes are permanent and best for links that will not change.

What size should I print a menu QR on a table tent?

Aim for at least one inch square on the printed piece, with clear margin around the code. Download a high-resolution PNG or SVG from QRtistry and test under dining-room light before a full print run.

Can I put my restaurant logo on the QR code?

Yes. Embed your logo, match brand colors, and use frame text so the code looks like part of the menu — not a generic black square.

Do I need a subscription to keep menu QR codes working?

No. Free static codes encode the menu URL in the image and never depend on our servers. You only pay when you want editable destinations or scan analytics.
