Why an editable menu QR code

A paper menu goes out of date the moment a dish or a price changes. A QR code on the table can point at a menu you host online, so you update a page instead of reprinting every card. The QR code itself needs to be stable: once it is printed on a table talker, you should be able to change the destination without changing the code.

How it works

  1. Paste the link to your online menu (a web page or a PDF) into the box above.
  2. Optionally choose an alias such as freeshortlink.com/our-menu.
  3. Download the QR code and add it to table cards, the window or the receipt.
  4. Test the printed code with an iPhone and an Android phone before printing in bulk.

Free to start

You can create 3 links a day without an account, or 10 new links a month with a free account. Links don’t expire as long as they follow our terms. The free QR code is a standard PNG without a watermark.

Premium for printed menus

Premium is $8/month or $79/year and is the plan meant for a printed menu. It includes unlimited links*, SVG and print-quality QR codes with your colours and logo, and editing of the destination and the alias after the cards are already on the tables. Full click statistics (countries, referrers, devices, browsers and live recent clicks) show whether guests actually open the menu.

Several locations?

Use a subdomain such as menu.yourrestaurant.com, pointed by a CNAME record at customers.freeshortlink.com, with automatic SSL. Premium includes up to 5 custom domains. Questions? Email support@freeshortlink.com.

FAQ

Can I change the menu without reprinting the QR code?

Yes. With Premium you can change the destination of the short link behind the QR code at any time; the printed code keeps working.

Is the menu QR code free?

Creating a short link and a standard PNG QR code is free (3 a day without an account, 10 a month with a free account). Editing destinations, SVG, colours and logos are part of Premium.

Does the QR code expire?

No. The QR code points to your short link, which doesn’t expire as long as it follows our Terms of Service.
