QR codes for restaurants and cafés
Restaurants use QR codes for digital menus, UPI payment at the table and Google review requests. QRasli generates them free with no watermark, and a dynamic menu code lets you change prices or dishes without reprinting the table cards.
A table tent is prime real estate — it is the one thing every guest looks at while they wait. One dynamic QR code can carry your menu today, your festival special next week, and a review request after the meal, without reprinting anything. Below are the four jobs restaurants actually use QR codes for, and which type suits each.
What to put behind the code
Digital menu that changes daily
Point a dynamic code at your menu PDF or a links page. When prices move or a dish sells out, you edit the destination and every printed table tent is instantly correct. This is the single strongest argument for dynamic over static in a restaurant: menus change, laminated cards do not.
Make this code →Pay at the table over UPI
A UPI code on the bill folder lets guests pay from their seat instead of queueing at the counter — which matters most exactly when you are busiest. Use a fixed amount for set menus, or leave it open and let the guest enter the total.
Make this code →Google reviews while the meal is fresh
The best moment to ask for a review is before the guest leaves, not in an email three days later. A code on the bill that opens your Google review form converts far better, because the experience is still in the room.
Make this code →Guest WiFi without reading out a password
A WiFi code on the table connects a phone in one scan, no staff involvement and no password written on a whiteboard. It also keeps the network password out of casual view.

Pick dynamic for anything that changes
Menus, offers and prices change. Dynamic codes let you edit the destination later, so the table tents you print today stay correct next season.
Print bigger than you think
Table tents are read from arm's length in dim light. Aim for at least 3 cm across, keep the classic dark-on-white pattern, and test a printed sample before ordering a hundred.
Give each table a note
If you use UPI codes, put the table number in the note field. It appears in your transaction list and turns your payment history into a seating report for free.

Common questions
Do I need a separate code for every table?+
Only if you want per-table data. One code for the whole floor is simpler and works fine for menus. Per-table codes are worth it for payments, where the note field tells you which table paid.
What happens if my menu link changes?+
With a dynamic code, nothing — you edit the destination in the dashboard and the next scan goes to the new menu. Static codes have the link baked into the pattern, so those would need reprinting.
Will the code still work if my WiFi is down?+
Yes. Guests scan with mobile data, and the code resolves through our servers, not yours. WiFi only matters for the WiFi-join code itself.
Can I see how many people scanned the menu?+
Yes, on dynamic codes. You get scan counts, day-by-day trend, unique visitors and rough location, which tells you whether the table tents or the door sticker actually get used.
