The PDF menu designs, with the dishes from our demo
A QR code to a PDF, or a real QR menu?
Many free QR code generators simply link to a PDF of your menu. It works, but every change means redoing the file, it is heavy on the phone and the customer has to zoom in. A dynamic QR menu like BuenaCarta's is something else.
| QR to a PDF | BuenaCarta QR menu | |
|---|---|---|
| Change a price or a dish | Redo the PDF and upload it again | Instantly from your phone |
| Sold-out dish | Impossible without editing the PDF | Hidden with one tap |
| Reading on the phone | Heavy, you have to zoom in | Mobile-friendly page, loads in under 1 second |
| Allergens | Free text, if you add it | Icons of the 14 allergens and traces on every dish |
| Photos of the dishes | They make the PDF heavier | Optimized photos, with a library of AI-created images |
| Languages | One PDF per language | Automatic AI translation into 11 languages |
| Printed menu | The PDF itself | PDF generator with more than ten designs, bilingual, A4, A5 or A3, always up to date |
| The QR code | Changes if the link changes | Always the same, for life |
| Price | Free | Free |
How to place the QR code of your menu on the tables
From your dashboard you download the QR in high resolution and as a print-ready PDF. As the code never changes even if you modify the menu, you can invest in quality holders without fear of them becoming outdated.
Table tents
A folded card or an acrylic holder on each table: the first thing the customer sees when sitting down.
Stickers on the bar and tables
Hard-wearing vinyl stickers for the bar, the terrace tables or the café counter.
Posters, social media and website
An A4 poster at the entrance or in the shop window, and the link to your menu on Instagram, Google and WhatsApp.
