How to Create a QR Code Menu in 5 Minutes with ShevaFood

In the world of modern restaurants, offering a digital menu accessible via QR code is no longer a luxury but a necessity. This solution offers unmatched flexibility, reduces printing costs, and improves the customer experience. The good news: creating such a menu is now within reach of all restaurant owners, regardless of their technical expertise.

This guide explains, step by step, how to create your own professional QR code menu in just 5 minutes.

Why Adopt a QR Code Menu?

Before we begin, let’s recall the concrete benefits of a digital menu:

  • Instant updates: change your prices, add or remove dishes without reprinting
  • Significant savings: no more recurring printing costs
  • Better hygiene: contactless solution appreciated post-Covid
  • Enhanced experience: add photos, detailed descriptions, and translations
  • Valuable data: analyze the most viewed dishes
