Restaurant Menu QR Code Generator
Generate a QR code that links to your online menu in seconds. Paste your menu URL, download a print-ready SVG, and place it on table cards, tent cards, or your front door. Static QR codes never expire — no monthly subscription, no redirect service, nothing to renew. Your code will scan correctly forever.

Will my restaurant QR code ever expire?
No — if you generate a static QR code here. Static codes encode the URL directly into the pattern; there is no server in the middle and nothing to renew. Many QR code services sell "dynamic" codes that route through their redirect servers. When you stop paying, every printed table card stops working. Static codes from this tool will scan correctly as long as the menu URL itself stays live — typically forever for established restaurant websites.
What format should I use for table cards?
Download SVG. SVG is a vector format that scales to any print size without losing sharpness. A table tent card is typically 10 × 10 cm or smaller — at that size, a raster PNG needs to be exported at 300 DPI to look crisp. SVG sidesteps the resolution question entirely: your print shop or design software (Canva, Illustrator, InDesign) renders it at whatever DPI the job requires. For digital menus displayed on screens or sent by email, PNG is fine.
Can I update the menu without reprinting the QR code?
Yes — if your menu lives at a fixed URL and you update the page content. A static QR code encodes a URL, not the page content. If your menu is hosted atyourbistro.com/menuand you update that page, every printed QR code instantly points to the new content. The code only needs to be reprinted if the URL itself changes.
What menu URL should I use?
Any publicly accessible URL works: your own website menu page, a Google Drive PDF link, a Square Online ordering page, a Toast or Olo menu, a Linktree page listing multiple menus, or a PDF hosted on any file service. Keep the URL as short as possible — longer URLs produce denser QR codes that are harder to scan at small sizes. If your URL is very long, consider using a URL shortener first.
Can I add my restaurant logo to the QR code?
Yes. Drop a PNG, JPG, or SVG logo into the logo area. The tool automatically switches to high error correction (level H), which allows up to 30% of the QR pattern to be obscured while remaining scannable. Keep your logo under 30% of the QR area and ensure good contrast between the logo and the QR code background. A white logo on a dark QR code works well; a dark logo on a dark QR code does not.
