QR Menus for Cafés and Coffee Shops

A café menu often spans several moments: morning coffee, a quick lunch and an afternoon pastry. A well-organised QR menu helps guests find the right section while your team keeps availability current.

Make your categories match the visit

Start with clear groups such as Coffee, Cold drinks, Breakfast and Bakery. Put your most useful sections near the top. Give drinks and dishes specific names, accurate prices and concise descriptions. Where your configuration supports options, check sizes and add-on prices before enabling orders.

Keep changing specials easy to find

Use item availability for pastries that sell out and review seasonal dishes before service. Add a good photo where it helps a guest understand the item. Avoid hiding essential information in a photograph: the name, price and relevant description should remain readable text.

Choose browsing or a configured ordering workflow

QwikMenu Basic is suitable for a view-only menu. Pro adds tools including WhatsApp order requests and Square integration. A WhatsApp request still needs staff confirmation and does not collect payment. Before enabling Square ordering, connect the correct location and check how your team will receive and manage orders.

Place and test your café QR

Put a labelled code where guests can comfortably scan it: the counter, a table card or packaging. Test at its printed size, check glare on the stand and try mobile data as well as Wi-Fi. Keep a visible board, printed menu or staff assistance available for guests who prefer another way to browse.

Try the sample menu, follow the setup guide, and compare plans. Start with a small, accurate menu your team can maintain every day.
