From menu link to table card
- 01
Link your menu
Open your menu URL in a private browser window. It should load without asking guests to sign in. Use that URL as the destination for a new dynamic code.
- 02
Test the printed version
Download the PNG, print a sample at its intended size, and scan it on more than one phone. Keep a clear margin around the code and check it in your dining-room lighting.
- 03
Update without reprinting
When your menu moves to a new URL, edit the code’s destination in your dashboard. Use separate codes for tables and takeaway bags if you want to compare their scan counts.
Before you print the whole batch
- Use dark marks on a light background and leave the code’s clear border intact.
- Check the menu on a phone over mobile data, not only your staff WiFi.
- Put “Scan for our menu” beside it, plus a readable menu URL for guests who cannot scan.
- Keep a printed menu available and avoid placing codes across folds or reflective surfaces.

Restaurant menu QR codes, explained
- How do I make a QR code for a restaurant menu?
- Put your menu on a publicly accessible webpage or PDF URL, create a dynamic QR code with that URL in Scanstone, then download and test it before printing. Scanstone links to your menu; it does not host PDFs or build a menu website.
- Can I change my menu after printing the QR code?
- Yes. For a dynamic code, edit the destination URL in your dashboard. The printed QR pattern stays the same. If you update the menu content at the same URL, you do not need to change the destination at all.
- Is a static or dynamic QR code better for a menu?
- Use a static code if you control a permanent menu URL and do not need scan analytics. Use a dynamic code if the URL might change or you want scan counts. Static codes are free without an account; the free account includes 3 dynamic codes or short links in total.
- What happens if I cancel my Scanstone subscription?
- Cancellation does not disable your redirects. You lose Pro features, but your existing codes still redirect. Deleting a code or your account stops its redirects, and your menu website must remain available.
- Do guests need an app or an account?
- Guests do not need a Scanstone account. They can scan the code with a compatible phone camera and open your menu in their browser. Make sure the menu itself is public and does not require a login.
