Step-by-step
How to set up a digital menu QR in 5 steps
A practical walkthrough for Indian restaurants, dhabas, and cafés — from PDF to printed table tent.
- 1
Prepare a mobile-friendly menu
Export your menu as a PDF under 2 MB so it loads fast on patchy 4G. Keep text at least 12pt so it stays readable on a 6-inch screen, and split it into clear categories — Starters, Mains, Breads (Roti/Naan/Paratha), Rice & Biryani, Desserts, and Beverages. A guest should find the paneer tikka in two thumb-scrolls, not ten.
- 2
Create the Menu QR in Photon QR
In the dashboard, create a Menu QR and point it at your uploaded PDF — or at a hosted menu page if you want item photos. Photon QR generates a single dynamic QR whose destination you control, so the sticker you print today keeps working even after a dozen menu revisions.
- 3
Print as laminated A6 table tents
Download the QR at high resolution and print it as A6 table tents — laminated so they survive chai spills and oily fingers. Stand one on every table, one at the billing counter, and one at the entrance so waiting guests can browse before they sit.
- 4
Update prices and items anytime
When tomato prices spike or the day's special sells out, open the dashboard, change the price or mark the item unavailable, and save — about 90 seconds. Every table updates at once because the QR points to one live menu. The printed tents never need to be touched again.
- 5
Add UPI bill payment + a feedback QR
Place a UPI payment QR beside the menu so guests settle the bill from their seat via GPay, PhonePe, or Paytm, and a feedback QR so they can rate the meal before they leave. Three small QRs on one table tent cover ordering, paying, and reviewing.
Beyond the menu
The menu is just the start. A few more QR codes quietly handle the rest of the table.
UPI payments at the table
A static UPI QR lets guests pay straight into your bank account with zero MDR — no swipe-machine rental, no 2% card fee, and the money lands instantly.
Google reviews & feedback
Drop a QR on the bill that opens your Google review page in one tap — the simplest way to grow the star rating that decides your Swiggy and Zomato ranking.
WhatsApp takeaway orders
A WhatsApp QR at the counter opens a chat with your number pre-filled, so regulars place parcel and tiffin orders without a single phone call.
Restaurant QR code — FAQs
How does a restaurant menu QR code work?
You create a digital menu in Photon QR's dashboard — categories, items, prices, and descriptions. Photon QR generates a QR code that links to your digital menu. When a customer scans it, they see your menu on their phone. You can update prices, mark items as unavailable, or add new dishes anytime from your dashboard — without changing the QR code.
Can I use the QR for UPI payments at my restaurant?
Yes — Photon QR supports UPI payment QR codes. The QR encodes your UPI ID and a merchant name. Customers scan with GPay, PhonePe, Paytm, or any UPI app and pay instantly. You receive the payment in your linked bank account.
Do my customers need an app to scan the QR code?
No. Any standard camera app on Android (9+) or iPhone (iOS 13+) can scan QR codes automatically. No special app, no download, no signup for the customer.
How much does a restaurant QR code cost?
The free plan includes 3 dynamic QR codes — enough for a small restaurant (menu, UPI, and Wi-Fi). The Basic plan at ₹79/month gives you 5 QR codes, unlimited scans, and no branding. Most restaurants run comfortably on Basic.
Can I have different menus — breakfast, lunch, dinner?
Yes — create separate QR codes for each menu. You can switch which menu is "active" from your dashboard, or set time-based content if you're on the Pro plan.
