QR codes
Create, download and print the QR codes your guests scan — and why they keep working after you change the menu.
QR codes
The QR Code tab holds the codes for your active menu. The banner at the top tells you which menu and location you are creating codes for.
Create a code
Tap New QR Code and fill in:
- Label (required) — how you will recognise it in this list. Bar, Front entrance, Table insert.
- Placement (optional) — where it physically lives. Table 5, Window counter.
Tap Add QR Code.
Create a separate code per placement rather than reusing one everywhere. They cost nothing,
and each one records its own scans — which is how you find out whether the window sticker is
worth keeping.
Download and print
Tap Download on a code to get an SVG file.
SVG is a vector format: it stays sharp at any size, so the same file works for a table card and for a poster. Any print shop will take it.
Printing checklist
- Size — at least 2 × 2 cm. Bigger for anything guests scan standing up.
- Contrast — keep it dark on a light background. Coloured or low-contrast codes fail in dim restaurant light.
- Quiet zone — leave clear space around the code. Do not crop to the edge.
- Finish — matte, not gloss. Glare defeats more scans than anything else.
- Test it — scan the printed proof with a real phone before you order 200.
Codes keep working
A QR code points at Azcarte, not at a fixed copy of your menu. Change a price, add a dish or swap the whole menu around and every printed code stays correct. You never reprint because the menu changed.
A code pointing at a draft menu will not show your dishes. Publish the menu from
Home before printing.
Preview and delete
- Preview menu opens what a guest sees when they scan it. Worth doing once per code.
- Delete QR code removes it permanently, and its scan history with it — the confirmation says "Scan analytics for it will also be lost." If you just want to retire a placement, consider keeping the code so the history survives.
