One code on the table. Your whole menu on their phone.
Paste the link to your menu, pick a look that suits the room, and download a file laid out to still scan once it is printed small and sitting under a candle.
More style options
Light grounds only — the code has to stay darker than what it sits on.
Where these earn their keep
Table tents and menu cards
The one place a code has to work first time, in low light, held at arm's length by somebody who has already decided they are hungry. Print it at the size the file comes out at and it will.
Windows, A-boards and doors
People decide whether to come in from the pavement. A code in the window shows them tonight's list without them having to open the door to ask.
Takeaway bags and cups
The order is already paid for, so this one is about the next visit. It costs no more ink than the logo it sits beside.
Six looks, made for a room with food in it.
Pick one and it fills in the generator above. Every combination here has been printed and read back, so a code that looks good is also a code that works.
Questions people ask
Do I have to reprint when the menu changes?
No, as long as the address stays the same. The code carries where your menu lives, not what is on it — so change the page and every card already on every table is up to date. The thing to avoid is a new address each season, which is what turns a hundred printed table tents into a hundred dead ends.
How big should I print it?
At the size it comes out at. The file already carries a real physical size rather than just looking right on screen, so print it at one hundred percent and do not let a layout program scale it down to fit a gap. If what you have typed is too much to print reliably, the generator says so rather than handing you something that fails on the table.
Will it still scan under laminate?
Usually, and matte laminate is kinder than gloss. Glare is what beats a camera on a laminated card, not the code underneath it. Keep the pale border the file comes with — that quiet margin is how a scanner finds the code at all, and trimming it off to save space is the most common way a good code is ruined at the printer.
Can I print it in black and white?
Yes. Pick the ink template and it prints on any machine in the building, including the one in the back office. Colour is nice on a menu card and it is not what makes the code work.
Does it expire, or need an account?
Neither. There is nothing to sign up for, nothing to renew, no watermark and no trial. The code works because of what is printed on it, not because of anything we keep running.
