The two problems with printed menus
Printed menus break down on two fronts: change and language. When a price moves, an item runs out or the season turns, the menu has to be reprinted. Because of that cost, updates get postponed and the menu on the table stops reflecting reality.
A QR menu breaks that link. The menu lives on the web and the code at the table points to it. Adding an item, changing a price or hiding a sold-out dish is a panel action; the only printed object is the code itself.
On the guest side the flow stays short: scan, read. No app download, no sign-up, no login — those steps make guests give up before they reach the menu.
What we build
Menu structure and content management
- Categories, items, descriptions, prices and images
- Temporarily hiding sold-out items
- Seasonal or time-based menus (breakfast, dinner, bar)
- Allergen and ingredient notes
Multiple languages
In tourist-heavy locations, a single-language menu is a real loss. Content is defined per language for each item, and the guest either selects a language or is served based on their browser language.
Mobile-first design
The menu is opened almost exclusively on a phone. Page speed, readability and image sizes are built around that — a desktop menu scaled down to a phone screen is not good enough.
Design that matches the business
The QR menu is the first digital surface a guest sees on their own phone. The page is designed to speak the same visual language as your corporate website, not to look like a generic template.
Guest feedback: seeing the problem before the review does
In hospitality and food service, the most expensive place to measure satisfaction is the review section of a booking platform. By the time you read a complaint there, your options are limited: the review is live and the rating has already moved.
QR-based satisfaction measurement collects the same feedback earlier. A code placed in the room, on the table or in shared areas leads to a short form. Because the guest is still on site, the problem can still be fixed.
How it works
- A short form. Few questions, designed for mobile. Long surveys get abandoned.
- Location context. Responses are recorded with the room, table or area the code belongs to — you learn where the problem is, not just that there is one.
- Instant alerts. Negative feedback notifies the relevant team.
- Accumulated view. Responses gather in one place, so recurring themes become visible over time.
The free-text field
A score alone does not explain what happened. A short free-text field is what surfaces the actual cause behind recurring complaints — in most measurement setups that field either does not exist or is never read.
Together with channel integration
QR menus and feedback cover what happens after the guest arrives. Everything up to the reservation is channel management: rooms managed from a single calendar across every sales channel. We build both — see hotel management system integration.
The distinction matters because a guest turned away by an overbooking and a dish that arrives cold both end up in the same place: your platform rating. One is an inventory synchronisation problem, the other a feedback loop problem.
Who this is for
- Hotels and boutique properties: Restaurant menu and room-level satisfaction measurement can be set up together.
- Restaurants, cafés and bars: Businesses with frequently changing menus, seasonal operations or multilingual guests.
- Multi-location operators: Anyone managing per-location menus and prices from one panel.
When the standard setup is not enough — ordering flows, room service, loyalty or POS connections — we build on the custom software side. If you want to measure which codes are scanned where and how often, we fold tracking into the same setup.
A real example
For Muyo House, a boutique hotel in Urla, we made the restaurant menu accessible via QR code and set up a system that collects guest satisfaction during the stay. The hotel management system and channel integration on the same project are ours as well. See our project portfolio for details.
We deliver similar setups across other service-sector businesses.
