How to create a digital menu?

Everything you need to know to digitalize your menu easily and for free.

You own a restaurant and wonder how to create a digital menu? The easiest way to do it is with QrCarta. A digital menu for restaurants is the digital way to present your gastronomic offer to your customers. With a digital menu, your customers access menu information from their mobile phones, tablets or other electronic devices, making the experience more interactive and modern.

Our platform is designed for any business that needs to show its offer digitally, visually and always updated. Although it is especially designed for the hospitality sector, its use is very versatile and adaptable to different types of businesses.

It is ideal for restaurants, bars, cafes, food trucks, hotels, bakeries, ice cream parlors and catering services, allowing you to display menus, products, promotions or services in a simple and accessible way via QR code or direct link.

Additionally, it can also be useful for other businesses that want to present catalogs, product lists or services in a digital, professional and easy-to-share way.

In short, any business that wants to modernize the way it presents its offer to customers can benefit from a digital menu.

At QrCarta we believe a digital menu should offer a clean, professional experience focused on the customer. Showing advertising within a menu can harm your business image and distract your customers at a key moment: choosing what to consume.

That's why we decided not to include advertising on our platform. Our model is sustained by the Premium subscription of those users who need more resources and features, which allows us to maintain the free version without compromising the user experience or your establishment's image.

QrCarta was born during the pandemic with a clear objective: to help restaurants, bars and hospitality businesses digitalize their menus easily and affordably, offering a useful and free tool for the sector.

Our philosophy remains the same: we believe any business should be able to have a complete digital menu without incurring high costs. That's why we maintain a fully functional free version with all the tools needed to create, manage and update your digital menu.

The Premium subscription, for only €3.95/month, is designed for users who need more resources, advanced features or greater storage use and system capacity. That cost helps us cover the technological infrastructure and service maintenance, while always keeping a free option available to all.

Creating a menu with a fully customized design can be complicated, expensive and require technical or graphic design knowledge. That's why at QrCarta we've simplified the entire process so any restaurant can have a professional digital menu tailored to its brand image.

From the start, QrCarta allows you to easily customize colors, logos, images and visual styles so your digital menu reflects your restaurant's identity. This way, your customers will have a more careful and consistent experience with your business.

Additionally, you don't need design knowledge or hire external services. Everything is done intuitively and in a few steps, allowing you to create an attractive, modern and fully functional menu at no additional cost.

The QR code allows your customers to access the digital menu instantly and conveniently by simply scanning it with their mobile camera. Without needing to download apps or touch physical menus, they can view the complete menu in seconds from any device.

This system offers a much simpler, faster and more modern experience for both the customer and the restaurant. Additionally, it allows you to update the menu in real time without needing to reprint menus every time prices, dishes or promotions change.

Using QR codes also provides important advantages:

  • Simple: instant menu access with just one scan.
  • Hygienic: avoids sharing physical menus.
  • Economical: eliminates printing and restocking costs.
  • Fast: customers can check the menu immediately.
  • Practical: the same QR works forever, even if you update the menu.

With QrCarta, generating and using your QR is automatic and very easy, helping you offer a more modern and professional experience in your restaurant.

Yes, it's always the same. Once the restaurant manages the menus and prints its QR codes, it never has to change them again.

  • Do prices change? The QR remains the same.
  • Add new dishes or remove sold-out items? The QR remains the same.
  • Want to change the menu design or logo? The QR remains the same.

Unlike a QR that points directly to a file (which dies if you delete it), QrCarta's QR code points to an intelligent URL.

"You change the content in your control panel, and the QR code simply displays the updated information in real time. It's like a window: you can change what's inside the room, but the window is always in the same place."

Full control from anywhere

Manage your menu yourself, from your mobile, tablet or computer, anytime and from anywhere.

Time and cost savings

Greater flexibility for your business

Clear information for your customers

Keep allergen information updated, offering greater transparency and safety.

Connected and visible to your customers: A digital menu not only shows your offer, it also connects your business with your customers and improves your online presence. You can integrate links so customers can easily leave reviews on major platforms, helping you build trust and improve your reputation.

Greater visibility online: Your digital menu can be found and viewed online, allowing new customers to discover your offer even before visiting your establishment. This facilitates the purchase decision and increases the chances of attracting new diners.

Easy to share: Customers can share your menu with friends, family or interested parties quickly and easily via a link, naturally expanding your business reach organically.

More interaction, more opportunities: Being connected, your menu becomes a direct communication tool: promotions, news and recommendations can reach your customers more effectively, improving their experience and encouraging their loyalty.

Manage allergen information easily on each of your dishes and offer your customers a safer and more transparent experience. With a digital menu you can configure and update allergens for each dish individually, ensuring the information is always visible and updated.

More safety and trust: Clearly showing allergens not only improves food safety, but also conveys professionalism and builds confidence in your customers.
