Design and copy guidance
Print the QR code large enough for a seated guest to scan from normal table distance, with quiet space around the code. Use dark QR modules on a light background and avoid placing the code over photos, textures, or low-contrast colors. Use direct copy such as Scan for today's menu, then add a short line that explains the menu can be updated. The design should say QR, menu, placement, scan, review, and analytics in the operating plan even when the printed copy stays short.
Print the entry point, keep the menu live
The QR menu table tent should point to a live QR menu, not a fixed file that becomes outdated. Keep the printed code stable, then update menu items, prices, photos, and availability behind the same destination.
