Three essential rules to deliver an exceptional guest dining experience.
Use mobile HTML, not bulky PDFs
Never link a QR code to a 15MB PDF scan of your paper menu. PDFs consume diners' mobile data, load sluggishly, and require clumsy pinch-zooming. A mobile web page loads in milliseconds.
Own your menu short link
Encode a clean vanity URL like yourpub.co.uk/menu. When you change seasonal items or prices, simply update your website or redirect. Your printed acrylic stands remain active forever.
Table lighting and matte lamination
Avoid high-gloss laminate sheets that reflect restaurant spotlights into smartphone camera lenses. Print on matte acrylic or wooden stands with a minimum 30 mm code width.
Allergens and Natasha's Law compliance
Meeting UK hospitality legal requirements with digital menus.
Clear 14-Allergen Information
UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) regulations require clear identification of all 14 major allergens (such as gluten, dairy, nuts, celery, and molluscs). Digital menus make it easy to provide interactive allergen filters so diners can view safe menu options with total confidence.
Verbal Check & Accessibility
A QR code menu should augment—never replace—trained hospitality service. Always maintain laminated large-print physical menus for visually impaired guests, and ensure waiting staff actively ask for dietary requirements upon seating.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about restaurant and café QR code menus.
Should I link my QR code to a PDF or a mobile webpage?
Link to a responsive mobile webpage instead of a PDF file whenever possible. Multi-megabyte PDF menus take a long time to download over mobile data, force customers to pinch and zoom on tiny fonts, and frequently fail to display on older smartphones.
How can I update menu prices without reprinting my table QR codes?
Point your QR code to a stable URL on your own website, such as yourbistro.co.uk/menu. Whenever seasonal ingredients change or prices increase, update your website or adjust your server's 302 redirect. Your printed table codes remain valid indefinitely without paying for a dynamic QR subscription.
What is the recommended size for table tent QR codes?
Print menu QR codes at a minimum size of 30 mm × 30 mm (or 35 mm to 40 mm on table stickers). This allows seated diners to scan easily from 30–40 cm away across a dining table without leaning forward.
How does Natasha's Law affect QR code menus in the UK?
Under UK food safety regulations, hospitality businesses must clearly communicate allergen information for the 14 major allergens. While digital menus can provide interactive allergen filters, staff must still be trained to verify dietary requirements verbally, and physical allergy documentation must remain accessible.
