The QR code is the first thing guests touch, literally. Scanqur generates yours automatically and lets you style it: brand colors, your logo in the center, printable frames with a call to action, and per-table labels exported as one print-ready PDF.

Table 4 · Scan to order
A pixelated black-and-white square printed from a free generator does the job, barely. It looks like an afterthought, gives guests no reason to trust it, and says nothing about what scanning will do. Worse, many free generators produce codes that expire, redirect through ad pages, or break when the "free trial" ends, taking your menu down with them.
Scanqur generates your menu’s QR code the moment your menu exists, permanently linked to your menu’s address, with no expiry and no scan limits. Then it hands you the styling tools: colors, logo, frames and labels, so the code on the table looks as intentional as the menu behind it.
Your Scanqur QR code encodes your menu’s permanent web address. The menu behind it can change every hour; the code never has to be reprinted. This is the crucial difference from codes that encode a PDF file or a temporary link, those break the moment anything changes.
Every part of the code’s presentation is in your hands:
Some QR generators disable your code when a trial ends, and every table tent you printed becomes garbage. A menu QR code must be permanent and yours.
Printed too small, too low-contrast, or laminated under glare, a code that fails twice gets abandoned. Guests rarely try a third time.
Numbering 20 tables by hand-editing 20 image files is the kind of task that postpones table ordering forever.
Match the code to your identity and put your logo at its center. Scanqur keeps the contrast within scannable limits while you style.
Ready-made printable frames add "Scan for our menu" around the code, the single line that doubles scan rates from hesitant guests.
Generate a distinct labeled code for each table so orders arrive tagged with their table number.
All your table codes, laid out and print-ready, in one PDF. Twenty tables means one download, not twenty.
Your code already exists, Scanqur generated it when your menu went live. The QR Code page shows it with all styling options.
Set the color to your primary brand color on a light background, and embed your logo. Check the live preview scans with your own phone before printing.
Tip: Dark code on light background always scans best. If in doubt, keep the background white and brand only the foreground.
Choose a frame with a call to action for table tents and window stickers. Export as an image for digital use or PDF for print.
Using table ordering? Enter your table count and export the bulk PDF, one labeled code per table, consistently styled.
Tables, counter, door, storefront window, receipts, delivery flyers. Anywhere a customer wonders "what do they have?" is a spot for the code.
Print at 3 cm minimum, 4–5 cm for tables
Rule of thumb: scanning distance ÷ 10 = minimum code size. A code scanned from a seated position across a table needs those extra centimetres.
Test-scan the actual print
Screens lie about contrast. Scan the physical print, in the room’s real lighting, with an older phone if you can find one.
Use matte finishes
Matte lamination protects against spills without the glare that defeats cameras under spotlights.
Put a code in your window
A storefront code lets passers-by browse your menu after hours, the cheapest 24/7 marketing you will ever print.
Don’t invert the colors
Light code on dark background scans unreliably on many phones. Keep the code darker than its background.
Don’t crowd the quiet zone
The white margin around the code is functional. Text and graphics pressed against the edge break scanning.
Don’t reprint on every menu change
You never need to, the code points to your live menu. If a print vendor tells you otherwise, they are selling prints.
When Yusuf switched his shisha lounge to table ordering, his dread was logistics: twenty tables, each needing its own labeled code, printed to survive smoke, spills and nightly wipe-downs.
In Scanqur he styled the code to his gold-on-charcoal brand, the preview warned him when the contrast dropped too low, so he kept the background cream, picked a frame reading "Scan · Browse · Order", and exported the 20-table bulk PDF in one click.
The print shop turned the PDF into matte-laminated table cards the same day. Orders now arrive tagged "Table 12" without a waiter walking over, and the cards match the lounge so well that guests assume they were part of the original interior.
