QR codes for restaurants that never need reprinting.
Print one QR code per table. Change the menu, swap the specials, or redirect to a seasonal page — all from your phone, without sending a single thing back to the printer.
10 active codes free. Enough for most single-location restaurants.
What's this costing you?
No signup needed. Just honest math.
A day in the life of a dynamic-menu restaurant
Manager updates the daily specials QR from her phone. Same table tent, new specials page. Zero trips to the print shop.
The fish special 86's. With a static PDF menu, every server tells every table. With a dynamic QR, she hides the item from the menu in 30 seconds. Next scan shows the corrected menu.
The lunch menu was printed 8 months ago. The QR on every table? Still the same one. Still working. Still pointing to whatever the current menu is.
Spring menu swaps to summer. $300 in reprint costs avoided. One dashboard edit. Every table tent in the building now points to the new menu.
A customer scans the QR on a takeout thank-you card from last month. It points to the current catering menu, not the one that was active when the card was printed. Because it's dynamic.
— the QR code on table 7
- Printed
- January 2026
- Pointed to
- /spring-menu-2026.pdf
- Epitaph
- Pointed to the spring menu PDF. Got 200+ scans.
- Died
- March 2026
- Cause
- The manager moved the PDF to a new Google Drive folder. The QR kept pointing to the old location.
200+ scans into a 404 before someone noticed. Every one of those tables left without seeing a menu.
This QR died because it was static. A dynamic QR would keep pointing to the current menu, even after the PDF moved.
How it works for a restaurant
Generate a code per table (or one for the whole room)
Create a QR code in the dashboard. Point it at your current menu URL. If you want per-table scan counts (useful for figuring out which tables get sat the most), create one code per table; otherwise one shared code is fine.
Print on table tents, coasters, or stickers
Download a print-ready PNG and send it to your usual print shop, or print on letter paper and laminate. The image you print today is the image you'll print never-again.
Update the menu URL from your phone
New menu PDF? New seasonal page? Open the dashboard, paste the new URL, save. Every existing printed code now points to the new destination. Customers scanning right now hit the new page on their next scan.
See which tables actually scan
Every code carries a scan counter. Hand your manager a CSV showing which table tents earn their floor space and which ones get ignored.
Common scenarios this solves
Seasonal menu swap
Print one QR. In May, point it at the spring menu. In September, repoint it at the fall menu. Same printed code, zero reprinting cost.
Daily specials
Update the destination every morning to a new specials page. Customers scan the same table-tent QR and see today's specials, not last Tuesday's.
Menu PDF moved
Switched from Squarespace to Wix? Moved the PDF to a new folder? The printed code keeps working — just paste the new URL in the dashboard.
Pop-up or food truck
One QR sticker on the truck. Park in a different city this week? Repoint it at the new location's hours and menu.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a separate QR code for every table?
No. One QR code can cover the whole restaurant. If you want per-table tracking (table 4 gets the most scans? table 12 never does?), create a code per table — each one redirects to the same menu but reports independent scan counts.
What happens when I update the menu PDF?
Upload the new PDF wherever you host it (Google Drive, Dropbox, your website), then paste the new URL into the Qronce dashboard. Every existing printed code now points to the new menu. No reprinting.
Will it still work if my Wi-Fi is down?
The customer's phone uses cellular data to scan and follow the redirect — your restaurant Wi-Fi isn't part of the chain. As long as the customer has signal and your menu host is online, the code works.
Can I use it for daily specials, not just the main menu?
Yes. Print a 'Today's specials' QR code on table tents and update the destination URL every morning to a different specials page. The printed card never changes.
Is it really free?
Yes. The Free tier includes 10 active QR codes — enough for most single-location restaurants. No credit card required.
Print one menu QR. Edit it forever.
Free for 10 active codes. No credit card. Set it up in five minutes — keep using it for as long as the restaurant runs.
