QR code menu for restaurants
A QR code menu is a printed code on the table that opens your menu in the guest's phone browser. There is no app to download and no account to create. With aimaitred the same code also takes the order, shows dish video, states every allergen, translates itself into the language the guest's phone is set to, and lets the table split the bill. The code is a link, so you change a price or take a dish off and every table sees the change on the next scan.
How it works
- Upload the menu you already have. A photo or a PDF is enough: the AI reads it and builds the items, prices and sections for you to check.
- Add allergens and, where you have it, a short video of the dish. Video can come from a file or from an Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook or Pinterest link.
- Print the codes. One code per table, or a single code for the whole room, plus a door code so people can read the menu before they sit down.
- Decide how far the code goes. It can stop at reading the menu, or carry on to ordering, splitting the bill and paying by card from the phone.
What you get
- No app and no guest sign-up. The guest scans and the menu opens, which is the whole reason a QR menu gets used at all.
- The menu is in the guest's language automatically, in 25 languages, detected from the phone.
- Every item carries its allergens, and allergen names are never machine-translated.
- Guests can share a dish straight to Instagram, WhatsApp or Stories from the menu, so the menu markets the room while people sit in it.
- It runs on the devices you already own. There is no new hardware to buy to put a menu behind a code.

Where this is the wrong answer
A QR menu is not automatically better than paper. If your room is dark, your guests are older, or your menu is six dishes on a board that never changes, paper wins and you should keep it. The code earns its place when the menu is long, changes often, needs allergens on every line, or serves guests who do not read your language. Many venues run both, and that is a sane answer rather than a compromise.
Questions people actually ask
- Do guests need to download an app?
- No. The code opens a web page in the phone's own browser. There is no download and no registration, so nothing stands between the scan and the menu.
- Can guests order from the QR code, or only read the menu?
- Both, and you choose which. The code can show the menu only, or take the order and send it to the kitchen display and the bar. You can also let the table split and pay from the same screen.
- How do I change a price or take a dish off?
- In the admin screen, and the printed codes stay as they are. The code points at a link rather than at a fixed document, so the next guest who scans sees the new version. Nothing needs reprinting.
