Pro tips

Restaurant QR code best practices

Print at 4–5 cm minimum

Table-distance scanning (50–70cm from a seated guest) requires at least 4cm × 4cm. Bigger is always better.

Always add a call-to-action

"Scan for menu" or "Scan to connect" doubles scan rates by removing ambiguity about what happens.

Use SVG for all print materials

SVG scales without quality loss — crisp at any size from a small tent card to a large window sign.

Test under restaurant lighting

Dim lighting and candles affect scan speed. Test your QR code in your actual dining room conditions before final print.

Use your brand colors

A QR code in your restaurant's colors gets scanned more than a plain black-and-white code — it looks intentional.

Create a guest Wi-Fi network

Use a separate guest network for the Wi-Fi QR code so you don't expose your main network to all guests.

FAQ

Restaurant QR code questions

Can I update my menu QR code without reprinting?
Yes — if you use a dynamic QR code. When your menu changes, log in to your QR Maker dashboard and update the URL. The printed code stays exactly the same and automatically redirects to the new menu.
How many QR codes does a restaurant need?
Most restaurants use 3–5: a menu code, a Wi-Fi code, a Google review code, and optionally payment and social codes. QR Maker's free account includes 5 dynamic QR codes — enough for a full set.
What format should I use for printing table tents?
Always download as SVG for any print material. SVG is a vector format that scales without quality loss — your QR code will be pixel-perfect at any print size.
Do restaurant QR codes work on iPhones without an app?
Yes. All QR codes generated by QR Maker scan using the built-in iPhone camera app (iOS 11+) and all modern Android devices. No third-party QR reader app is needed.
Can I brand the QR code with my restaurant logo and colors?
Yes. Upload your logo, choose your brand colors for the dots, and match the background to your table tent design. Branded QR codes look more trustworthy and get scanned more often.
