Generate Your Restaurant QR Code — FreeWhy Restaurants Use QR Codes
QR codes have become the standard contactless interface for restaurants. A single QR code on a table tent can open your digital menu, let guests place orders, connect to your WiFi, leave a Google review, or join your loyalty program — no paper menus, no printing costs, no staff required. Restaurants that use QR codes report faster table turns, lower printing costs, and more Google reviews (since the link is one tap away). Our free generator creates high-resolution QR codes you can download as PNG for immediate printing, or SVG for scalable use on menus, signage, and packaging.

What should I link my restaurant QR code to?
The most common uses are: (1) a digital menu hosted on your website or a service like Square, Toast, or a Google Drive PDF; (2) your Google Business page to collect reviews; (3) your WiFi network credentials; (4) an online ordering page (DoorDash, Uber Eats, or your own site); (5) a loyalty program sign-up form. You can create a separate QR code for each purpose.
Do QR codes for restaurants expire?
QR codes generated by our tool are static — they encode the URL directly and never expire. As long as your linked page is live, the QR code will keep working. If you change your menu URL, you'll need to generate a new QR code.
What size should a restaurant QR code be printed at?
For table cards, a 4 cm × 4 cm (approximately 1.5" × 1.5") QR code is the minimum readable size. For wall or door signage, use at least 10 cm × 10 cm. Download our SVG format to scale to any size without losing quality.
Can I customize the QR code with my restaurant logo or colors?
Our generator produces a standard black-and-white QR code, which guarantees maximum scannability. Once downloaded, you can add your logo or brand colors around the QR code in Canva or Adobe Illustrator. Avoid placing graphics inside the QR code itself, as this reduces scan reliability.
How do I create a QR code for my restaurant WiFi?
Format your WiFi credentials as a standard WiFi QR string: WIFI:T:WPA;S:YourNetworkName;P:YourPassword;; — then paste this into our QR Code generator. Most smartphones will recognize this format and offer to join the network automatically when scanned.
