By Tabletopp Team
QR code menus are here to stay, but not all implementations are created equal. Here's how to do them right.
Placement Matters
The best QR code placement ensures visibility without being intrusive:
- Table tents - Eye level and easy to scan
- Table stickers - Durable and always visible
- Menu holders - Professional and reusable
Design Your QR Codes Right
A few design tips that make a big difference:
- Include your logo in the center
- Add a clear call-to-action ("Scan for Menu")
- Ensure sufficient contrast for scanning
- Test on multiple devices before printing
Mobile-First Menu Design
Your digital menu must be optimized for phones:
- Large, tappable buttons
- Fast loading images
- Clear, readable typography
- Logical category organization
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- QR codes that are too small to scan
- Linking to PDFs instead of mobile-optimized pages
- Slow-loading menus that frustrate customers
