From menu to QR code in three steps

01

Create your menu

Build your menu with categories, prices and photos — clean layouts handle the design for you.

02

Publish it as a digital menu

One click puts your menu on a permanent link that opens in any phone browser — no app for guests.

03

Download the QR & print

Download the QR code as SVG or high-resolution PNG and print it on table cards, stickers or receipts.

The digital menu behind the QR code

Paper menus go out of date the day they're printed — every price change or sold-out dish means a reprint, and reprinting keeps getting pricier: US commercial printing prices are up about 59% since January 2020, according to the BLS Producer Price Index. A digital menu lives online instead: update it once, and every guest sees the new version on their next scan.

MenuLolo turns your published menu into a digital menu that opens on any phone — a permanent link and a QR code, no app or account for guests. Edit dishes in the dashboard, save, and the menu updates instantly.

Keep your printed materials too — the QR code never changes, so table cards keep working as your menu evolves. The digital menu is view-only today: dishes, photos and prices. Online ordering and payment are not part of it yet.

Frequently asked questions

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. You can cancel anytime from billing settings and your plan keeps working until the end of the current period.

What happens when I hit my limits?

Adding more menus or dishes is blocked with an upgrade prompt. Your existing content stays untouched — nothing is deleted.

Can I remove the "Powered by" watermark?

Yes. Any paid plan (Starter or Pro) removes the watermark from your public menu page.

How do AI enhancement credits work?

Each plan includes monthly credits — Free 0 (plus a one-time 10-credit signup bonus), Starter 1,000, Pro 2,400. One AI enhancement uses 10 credits. Monthly credits reset on the first day of each month (UTC); unused monthly credits don't carry over, top-up credits never expire.

Which currencies are supported?

26 currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, JPY, KRW, CNY, HKD and more. Currency is set per menu and only affects how prices are displayed.

What is the refund policy?

You can cancel anytime; the current billing period is not refunded. EU consumers have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal for online purchases, including its waiver rules — see our Terms for details.

Do QR codes expire?

No. The QR code points to your menu's permanent link — it keeps working for as long as your subscription is active and the menu is published, even after you edit the menu.

What's behind the QR code?

Your live menu — dishes, photos, prices and daily specials. MenuLolo's QR code menu for restaurants updates the moment you save, so guests always see the current version.

Do my guests need an app?

No. Any phone camera scans the QR code and opens your menu in the browser — no app download, no account, no waiting.

What print formats do I get?

Download the QR code as print-ready SVG (vector, ideal for A4 table cards) or high-resolution PNG in 1024 and 2048 px — H error correction and a built-in quiet zone keep every scan reliable.

Can guests order and pay through the digital menu?

Not yet. The digital menu is view-only for now — guests see your live menu with dishes, photos and prices on their phones. Online ordering and payment are not part of MenuLolo today.

Expert answers

Answered by the MenuLolo team — based on our product experience and the sources cited on this page.

Do guests actually scan QR codes at the table?

Yes — especially younger diners: 82% of Gen Z adults told the National Restaurant Association they're comfortable placing a smartphone order at a limited-service restaurant, and scanning a QR menu takes nothing more than pointing a phone camera. MenuLolo's QR codes download as print-ready SVG or high-resolution PNG with built-in error correction, so the scan keeps working even on a worn table card.

Do QR code menus annoy guests?

They don't have to — what guests dislike is friction, not scanning itself: slow pages, tiny text or outdated prices. A QR menu that opens instantly, reads cleanly on a phone and always shows current prices answers the main complaints. MenuLolo's public menu page is mobile-first and updates the moment you save an edit — and the QR code on your table card never changes, so printed menus and digital stay in step.

How much does it cost to keep a menu up to date?

Paper charges you every time you reprint — US commercial printing prices rose about 59% between January 2020 and August 2026, per the BLS Producer Price Index. A digital menu from MenuLolo costs nothing to edit: changes are free and instant on every plan, and your QR code stays the same.

FAQ

How do credits work and when do I get them?

What can I do on the Free plan?

Try the full editor: all 3 menu layouts, plus one AI enhancement (10 credits). Saving and publishing menus and watermark removal are paid features, priority support is Pro-only — Free edits are not saved.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Subscriptions are self-managed via Stripe with no long-term contract. After canceling, paid features stay active until the end of the billing period; published menus then display on the Free tier (with watermark). Your data stays exportable.

What do paid plans add over Free?

All plans include all 3 menu layouts. Paid plans add saving and publishing menus, more menus and dishes per menu, watermark removal and monthly AI credits — unlimited dishes per menu is a Pro feature.

How credits work

  • 10 credits at registration (never expire) + monthly plan credits on purchase/renewal (Starter 1,000 / Pro 2,400).
  • 1 AI photo enhancement or AI menu background = 10 credits.
  • Monthly plan credits expire at each billing cycle end; signup and top-up credits never expire.
  • Spending draws signup credits first, then subscription credits, then top-up credits.

On a paid plan every month starts with 1,000–2,400 fresh credits (about 100–240 enhancements), plus watermark removal and all three menu layouts — usually cheaper per photo than top-ups.
