7 Restaurant Menu QR Mistakes That Cost Reprints

Avoid unscannable menu QRs, dead PDF links, and static codes that force sticker overlays. Practical checklist for cafés and restaurants using dynamic QR.

FAQ

What size should a menu QR be on a table tent?

Minimum 2×2 cm (about 0.8 inch) print size with high contrast. Test from seated eye level before printing hundreds of tents.

Should restaurants use static or dynamic menu QRs?

Dynamic for almost all menus — prices, seasonal items, and delivery links change. Static only if the destination URL will never change.

Can I use a Google Doc as my menu destination?

Yes. Point your QrLitz slug to the published Google Doc or Notion page. When you update the doc, the same printed QR works.

Why do guests say the menu QR does not work?

Common causes: low contrast on dark tables, QR too small, broken PDF permissions, or a static QR pointing to an old URL. Test on both iPhone and Android.
