Quick answer
QR menu launch checklist built for bars: Bars rotate taps, adjust cocktail batches, manage happy hour rules, and need clear drink descriptions that help guests choose quickly.
What this template helps you do
This launch checklist is built for bars moving from paper, PDFs, or static menu boards to a live QR menu. Bars rotate taps, adjust cocktail batches, manage happy hour rules, and need clear drink descriptions that help guests choose quickly.
Best use case
Use it before the first QR menu launch, a menu redesign, seasonal relaunch, or a new table-card print run. Use the QR menu to update rotating taps, feature cocktails, clarify happy hour windows, and add ABV or flavor notes without reprinting.

How to launch the QR menu
Prepare menu content
Import or enter active items, then review prices, tags, photos, and descriptions.
Test the printed codes
Scan table cards, counter signs, or window codes from real guest positions.
Train staff
Give the team a simple script and a fallback option for guests who need help.
Review launch data
Check scan counts, item views, staff feedback, and guest questions after launch.
Test the guest path, not only the URL
For bars, a working QR code is only one part of launch. Placement, staff language, menu clarity, and availability updates decide whether guests use it.
How this connects to your QR menu
Use the QR menu to update rotating taps, feature cocktails, clarify happy hour windows, and add ABV or flavor notes without reprinting. FlipMenu provides the live menu and QR workflow, while this checklist makes the launch operationally ready.
Use the worksheet first, then publish the guest-facing result only after the manager review is complete. That keeps the digital menu useful without turning it into an unapproved operations notebook.
