QR Menu Creation Overview
How to create a QR menu is one of the most searched restaurant topics in 2026. The good news: it's much easier than you think. No technical skills needed, no expensive software required, and it can be completed in 20 minutes.
All you need is: internet connection, your product list, and preferably product photos. The QR menu platform and AI handle the rest.
What to Prepare
- Product list: Names and prices of all food and drinks
- Photos: Natural light, top-down or 45° angle. Phone camera is fine.
- Logo: PNG or JPG format
- Category plan: 3-8 categories ideal (Breakfast, Main Dishes, Drinks, Desserts)
Menu Design Tips
- Photo quality: Don't use blurry or dark photos — natural light is key
- Category count: 3-8 is ideal. More overwhelms customers
- Descriptions: 1-2 sentences. AI generates them automatically
- Calorie & allergen info: Mandatory in many countries. AI fills it in one click
QR Code Generation & Download
Alfa QR Menu automatically generates QR codes: general QR (for entrance/window — no table selection), table-specific QR (each table has its own code), and bulk download (ZIP file with all codes).
Testing & Launch
Before printing, test with your phone: Does the QR scan? Does the menu load correctly? Are photos showing? Is the order button working? If everything checks out, print and place on tables — your QR menu is live!
