What a QR menu is and how it helps a restaurant
A QR menu is a digital system where guests scan the code on their table with a phone camera and browse dishes and order right on their phone — no paper menu needed.
How a QR menu works
Each table gets its own QR code. The guest scans it with their phone camera and a page opens in the browser with the dishes, prices and photos — no app to install. In many systems the guest can order right there, and the order goes straight to the kitchen or waiter's screen.
How it differs from a paper menu
When a price or dish changes on a paper menu, the whole menu has to be reprinted. With a QR menu, prices or availability are updated from the admin panel in seconds, and the change shows on every table immediately. This is especially useful for restaurants whose prices change often or that add seasonal dishes.
The main benefit for a restaurant
At peak hours waiters stop explaining the menu and writing orders on paper and focus on serving food. Guests don't wait in line and choose at their own pace. Dish photos and descriptions also lift sales — guests order what they can see.
What you need to launch
Technically, you need the menu content (dishes, prices, photos) and a printed QR code for each table. With the FRONTIX QR menu service, launch usually takes 1-2 weeks, with a ready-made admin panel included.
Frequently asked questions
Do guests need a special app for a QR menu?
No. A regular phone camera and browser are enough; there's no separate app to install.
Can I update the menu myself?
Yes, from the admin panel you can change prices, dish names or availability at any time.
Does a QR menu work without internet?
No, the guest's phone needs an internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data), because the menu loads from the server in real time.
