Your room has a personality, your menu should too. Scanqur ships professionally designed themes, each with its own layout, and lets you customize colors, fonts, logo and header image until the menu feels unmistakably yours.

Theme: Elegant Noir
Most QR menu tools render every restaurant identically: same white list, same font, same layout for a sushi counter and a steakhouse. Guests notice the mismatch, even unconsciously, a generic menu quietly tells them the experience will be generic too. And a menu that clashes with your identity wastes the money you spent making the room feel right.
Hiring a designer for a custom menu site costs hundreds and takes weeks. Scanqur’s answer is themes: complete, professionally designed looks (layout, typography, spacing, color system) that you apply in one tap and then adjust to your brand. The design expertise is built in; the identity stays yours.
Each of Scanqur’s themes is a distinct layout: how categories are presented, how product cards are shaped, how photos are framed, how typography breathes. A cozy café theme and a fine-dining theme differ in structure, not just palette, because a tasting menu and a burger list should not be read the same way.
On top of the theme you control the brand layer:
From minimal and airy to rich and photographic, each theme is its own layout, tuned for phone screens first.
Try any theme against your real menu and see exactly what guests will see. Switch as often as you like; your products never move.
Content and design are separate in Scanqur. Rebrand for the season in minutes, every dish, price and photo stays intact.
Themes handle long German words, compact French and right-to-left Arabic gracefully, so a language switch never breaks the design.
With your products already in place, go to the Template page. Your menu renders in each theme using your real dishes, much more honest than a demo with fake data.
Pick candidates that match your room’s energy: light and casual, warm and rustic, dark and refined. Preview each with your actual menu.
Tip: Look at your longest category and your longest dish name in the preview, that is where weak layouts crack.
Upload your logo, set your brand colors and pick fonts. If you have printed signage, match it, guests should feel continuity between the door, the table and the screen.
A wide photo of your room or signature dish sets the scene before the first category. Shoot horizontal, in daylight, without clutter.
Scan your own QR code and read the menu like a guest: is the category bar clear, are prices scannable, do photos load fast? Adjust and re-check, it takes minutes.
Choose legibility over personality
If a font is charming but hard to read at arm’s length in a dim room, it is costing you orders. Charm belongs in the header; clarity in the list.
Use your accent color sparingly
One strong accent on prices or buttons guides the eye. Accents everywhere guide it nowhere.
Match the theme to the dining style
Photo-heavy themes sell fast-casual food; typographic themes flatter tasting menus. Pick for your kitchen, not for trends.
Revisit the look each season
A five-minute theme-and-header refresh in summer and winter keeps regulars feeling the menu is alive.
Don’t use low-contrast color pairs
Grey text on beige looks subtle on a design mock and unreadable in sunlight on a terrace. Keep text contrast high.
Don’t crowd the header
Logo, name, one image, that is a header. Announcements and promotions belong in the menu, not stacked above it.
Don’t redesign weekly
Consistency builds recognition. Settle on a look, refine it occasionally, and let regulars feel at home.
Lina runs a beauty salon; her services list used to be a laminated sheet at reception. In Scanqur she picked a soft, airy theme, set her dusty-rose brand color, and added a header photo of her treatment room. Her price list now looks like her Instagram, which is exactly where her clients first meet her.
Three streets away, Karim’s steakhouse went the other direction: a dark theme, amber accents matching the leather seats, and a smoky header shot of the grill. Same platform, same five-minute setup, completely different atmosphere.
Neither hired a designer. Both get compliments on "their app", which is just their Scanqur menu, themed properly.
