QR codes for restaurants

Put a code on table cards, menus and window signs. Change its destination when the menu changes; the printed cards stay the same.

Change the menu without reprinting

An editable code holds a short ovbq link, not the menu. Add a fall special or raise a price: sign in, paste the new menu link and save. Saving a new destination updates the link behind every printed copy. Saved pauses and access restrictions still apply.

The code can open any page with its own web address, like the menu on your website or your online ordering page. No website? On Pro and Business, ovbq can host your menu: a PDF or image you upload, or a menu page with sections, hours and prices that marks what you're serving now. While your plan allows the change, replace the file or edit the page without replacing your printed codes. How to make a QR code menu.

Where restaurants put codes

• Table cards and tents, so guests can read the menu without waiting for a server.
• The front window or door, so people walking past can check the menu before they come in.
• Takeout bags and receipts, pointing to online ordering or the page where guests leave a review. See how to make a QR code for Google reviews.
• The counter, next to the register, for your newsletter sign-up or social page.

Give each spot its own code to see which people use. Printable table tents and counter cards come ready to fold, sized for guests at tables.

See when guests scan

Each editable code shows scan charts for the last 30 days and by hour of day, so you can see when guests use the table cards. It also shows the kind of phone and browser, and on Pro and Business which countries the scans came from. We never record a city or GPS position, and we do not store IP addresses.

The Free plan counts the first 1,000 scans each month. Reaching the scan-count limit does not switch off your code; only the counting stops. Saved pauses and access restrictions still apply. Pro and Business count every scan.

A Wi-Fi code for guests

Guests join your Wi-Fi by scanning, with no typing. In our free QR code maker, choose Wi-Fi, enter the network name and password, and download the code. Phones read these details from the code, so it is always fixed. Change the password, and you must print a new code. Make a Wi-Fi sign.

Print it big enough

Guests hold a table card at about 1.5 ft (45 cm), so the code should be at least 1.8 in (4.5 cm) wide, not counting its white border. A code in the window, read from about 6 ft (1.8 m) away, needs at least 7.1 in (18 cm). Print dark on light, and scan a test copy before you print a stack. Our guide to printing QR codes that scan covers the details.

Which plan fits a restaurant

Free gives you 2 editable codes, to try it with your menu. Pro, at $9 a month, covers 50, so every table, window and bag can have its own code and its own scan count, in your own colors. Business, at $29 a month, covers 500, for groups with several locations. Fixed codes, like the Wi-Fi code, are always free and never count toward a plan.

You can also pay yearly, with 2 months free: see pricing.

If you stop paying

If your paid plan ends, nothing changes for 30 days. After that your 2 oldest website-link codes stay on Free, live or paused as you left them. Other codes show a notice; any continue action follows the code's access restrictions. See what happens if you stop paying.

For your offer and terms, with an optional code and last day, make a coupon page on Pro or Business. Customers show it at checkout.
