The restaurant industry has been compelled to adjust to quick improvements in cleanliness and guest safety ever since the unexpected unfolding of the 2020 events. Restaurants must not only adhere to changing industry sanitation standards, but they must inform their clients that they are taking all possible precautions.

The QR Menu (also known as a Digital Menu) is a safe solution for restaurants. A QR Code Menu not only provides a touch-free menu experience but can also be used to collect guest feedback while they are still at your locale.

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of scanning digital menus, let's take a step back and understand how they work and what you need to do to offer them to your guests.

What is a QR Code Menu?

A Digital Menu is the online version of your paper menu. It can be accessed using a QR Code that you can print in various formats and display at your locale.

The digital menu, unlike its paper counterpart, can be updated instantly and can be used as a driver for better interaction with your guests.

Do you have a nicer photo of that juicy buritto? No problem. It takes approximately 2 minutes to click into the online Menu editor and change the display image. You can do this on any internet-connected laptop, tablet or mobile phone.

Do you want to understand how to better serve your guests? You can ask them for feedback right in the Digital Menu.

Do you want to allow guests to book a table online, without having to phone in? Totally possible with your Menulio Digital Menu.

Where to place the QR Code?

Having a QR Menu at your location gives you so much room to be creative.

Some of our partners use printed the QR code on stickers and placed them on the napkin holders already present on the table.

Others decided to use business cards to print the QR code, which has the added benefit that guests can take them home and be reminded that they can book their next experience online, with the same QR code.
