How to turn this example into a live QR menu

1

Start from the active menu

Import or enter the items cocktail lounges, hotel bars, rooftop bars, and late-night restaurants already sell, then remove outdated dishes before publishing.

2

Organize for mobile scanning

Keep categories short and make base spirits easy to find without forcing guests to pinch and zoom.

3

Add practical item details

Use prices, dietary cues, and concise descriptions so guests understand the menu before they ask staff.

4

Publish and review behavior

Share the QR menu, then review scans and item views to decide what needs clearer placement or wording.

Keep the example operational

How to adapt this example

Start with the sample sections, then replace every dish with your real menu. Keep the structure useful for guests: the most popular categories should appear first, and anything that changes often should be easy to update.

For cocktail bars, the highest-value details are base spirits, zero-proof drinks, happy-hour windows, garnish notes. Add those details in the menu itself instead of leaving staff to answer the same questions repeatedly.
