From reading to room service

Change the menu, keep the code
A touchless menu QR code always opens your live menu, so edits reach guests without new prints.
Sold-out items
Use Mark Sold Out during service, so guests do not pick what the kitchen cannot make.
Photos and allergens

Hospitality first
Touch-free, but never staff-free
A touchless menu QR code should add a choice for guests, not take one away.
Keep paper and people
Leave a few printed menus at the counter, and let staff take orders the usual way for anyone who asks.
Make the sign obvious
Say Scan to view the menu or Scan to order, and print the Menu URL for anyone who cannot scan.
Look after the cards
Check them regularly and replace any that are faded, damaged or covered by a stranger's sticker.

Before the first scan
Touchless menu questions
What is a touchless menu QR code?
A printed code that opens your menu on each guest's own phone, so nobody needs to pass around a shared paper menu. With MenuForma it can be a menu to read, a menu to order from at the table, or an in-room menu for hotel guests, and all of those are free.
Is a touchless menu QR code free?
Yes. The free plan has no end date and needs no credit card. It covers one restaurant, one primary-language menu, the Classic template, custom QR codes with your logo, and table, counter and in-room ordering. Regular is only for extras such as delivery or more languages.
Do guests need an app?
No app and no account: the code opens the menu in the phone browser. Guests do need a working phone and an internet connection, so keep your Wi-Fi details where people can see them and a paper menu within reach.
Can we stop printing paper menus?
Keep a few. Some guests prefer paper, some phones are flat or offline, and a printed copy helps anyone who finds a small screen hard to read. The phone option is most useful as an extra route, not the only one.
How do I update prices without reprinting?
Edit dishes and prices in Menu Manager and use Mark Sold Out for anything unavailable. The printed code keeps opening the same menu, so guests see each change once you save it. Only a new Menu URL or a different code type means new cards.
Can guests order without touching anything shared?
Yes. With a Per-Table code, guests choose on their phone, tap Place Order, and the order reaches Orders with the table number. A Unified code does the same at a counter, and Hotel codes take orders from rooms.
How should we print and place the code?
Dark code on a light, matte card, with a clear margin around it. Put it where guests sit or wait, such as table tents, the counter, the door or the room folder, and scan a final print in your own lighting before printing more.
Does a QR code make the menu safe by itself?
No. A code is a route, not a security guarantee. Keep control of where it points, check the printed cards now and then, and replace any sticker that looks tampered with. The FTC also advises people to check the link a QR code opens before trusting it.
Can hotel guests use it in their room?
Yes. Hotel codes in QR Codes send each order with the room number, and you can offer Charge to room for the rooms you configure. Both are part of the free plan.
What does Regular add, and how do payments work?
Regular adds delivery and Store Pickup, online payments, the Tablet ordering mode, staff accounts, Analytics and more languages and venues. Payments go to your own connected Stripe account. MenuForma takes no commission on Stripe payments, but Stripe processing fees still apply.
