How to Create a QR Code for Your Business Menu & Flyers

Why Every Business Needs a QR Code

After the pandemic, scan don't hand became standard. A single QR on your table, counter or flyer lets customers:

• Open your digital menu instantly
• Follow your Instagram or WhatsApp channel
• Save your contact or location
• Pay or review you online

And because QR Code Generator builds codes in your browser, you can create one free in two minutes — no account, no expiry, no server dependency.

Step-by-Step: Create a Menu QR Code

Step	What to do
1	Open the QR Code Generator
2	Paste the URL: your digital menu page, WhatsApp number link or Google Maps location
3	Pick a foreground and background color to match your branding
4	Download a high-resolution PNG
5	Print it on a table stand, menu card or flyer

The code is static — it stores the URL directly — so it never expires and keeps working even if a third-party service goes down.

Where to Put Your QR Code

Restaurants & cafes:
- Table stand alongside the menu
- On the menu card itself, "scan for live menu"
- POS receipts and takeaway bags

Shops & studios:
- Flyers, pamphlets and bags
- Business cards (below your number)
- Storefront window poster

Services (consultants, salons, tutors):
- WhatsApp business link for bookings
- Google review shortcut
- Linktree/profile link for offers

Design Tips for High Scan Rates

• Keep contrast strong — dark code on a light background scans reliably
• Don't overload — one QR per marketing piece, pointing to one clear action
• Size matters — a code smaller than 2 cm poor on a flickering screen; keep it visible
• Add a label — "Scan to see the menu" beside the code increases scans a lot
• Say what will happen — "Scan for menu" beats a bare, unexplained QR
