Setting Up QR Codes for Your Restaurant in South Africa

Step 1: Prepare Your Digital Menu

Before creating your QR code for restaurants, host your menu online. Popular options for South African restaurants include a Google Drive PDF, a dedicated menu page on your website, or a third-party platform like Dineplan or Yoco. The URL you choose becomes the QR code destination — and with QR Code Pro, you can change QR code after printing anytime.

Step 2: Create and Brand Your QR Code

Sign up for a QR Code Pro account, paste your menu URL, and customise your design to match your restaurant's branding. Choose colours that complement your décor, select a frame with a call-to-action like "Scan for Menu," and add your logo on Pro. Download in high-resolution PNG or SVG for print.

Step 3: Print and Place on Tables

Print your restaurant QR code on table tents, stickers, or acrylic stands. For South African restaurants, we recommend laminated table cards that withstand daily use. Place them where diners naturally look — on the table, at the counter, or near the entrance. Each QR code includes scan analytics so you can track how many customers engage with your digital menu.

Why Restaurants Choose QR Codes for Menus

🔄

Update Menu Anytime

Change your menu URL, add daily specials, or update prices from your dashboard. The QR code on your tables never changes — only the destination does.

📊

See Which Items Get Scanned

Real-time analytics show you when customers scan, what device they use, and how long they engage. Know your peak hours and optimise your menu accordingly.

🎨

Branded to Your Restaurant

Customise your brand with colours, patterns, and a custom frame — add your logo on Pro. Our design tools ensure the code stays 100% scannable while looking professional.

Put a menu code on your tables this week

1

Make it from your menu link

Use your menu PDF, your website menu page or an ordering link as the destination. A clean, phone-sized PDF is enough to start.

2

Put it on every table and at the till

Table cards or stickers on each table, plus the counter and the door. Laminate them: they get wiped down every day.

3

Change the menu, not the card

When prices or specials change, update the destination once. Every printed card shows the new menu straight away.

What to check: scans by hour and by device after the first weekend. It shows your busiest services and whether guests are actually using the codes.

The trial: 14 days, 20 dynamic codes, the Pro plan's features, no credit card.

Then: Pro is R99/month for 50 codes, Pro+ R199/month for 200 and Team R299/month for 500. Unlimited scans on every plan, billed in Rand through PayFast, cancel any time.

If you do nothing: your dynamic codes stop redirecting when the trial ends, so choose a plan before printing a big run.

Want table talkers or a flyer to go with it? Design one in Print Studio with your logo and brand colours.

People Also Ask About QR Codes for Restaurants

How do restaurants use QR codes for menus?

Restaurants place a QR code on each table, at the counter, or near the entrance. When a customer scans the code with their phone camera, they are redirected to the restaurant's digital menu — typically a PDF, website page, or ordering platform. With QR Code Pro, the menu URL can be updated daily for specials without reprinting the QR code.

Are QR code menus still popular in South Africa?

Yes. QR code menus became mainstream during COVID-19 and have remained popular across South African restaurants for their convenience and cost savings. They eliminate reprinting costs when prices change, support multiple languages, and provide analytics on customer engagement. Many South African restaurant chains now use QR codes as their primary menu format.

Can customers order food through a QR code?

Yes — if your QR code links to an online ordering platform. QR Code Pro creates the QR code that redirects to any URL, including ordering systems like Yoco, DinePlan, or your own website's ordering page. The QR code itself is the bridge between the physical table and your digital ordering system. You can switch the destination from a menu to an ordering page anytime.
