Probably not!  The majority of phones these days have a QR code reader built into the native camera app.  If a customer has a very old phone or hasn’t updated its software in a long time, they can always download a free QR scanning app from the app store.

Simply update it on your online menu and it will be instantly updated to people who scan your QR code. That’s one of the most important benefits of using MobileMenus - quick updates without ever having to reprint!

Unfortunately, once a QR code is created as either a static or dynamic code, it can’t be switched to the other. You can upgrade or downgrade whenever you want, but it will require us to create a new code for you each time.

TappedIn can create a mobile-friendly menu for you!  This is not included in the plan, but we would be happy to talk to you about it.

Most restaurants list prices on their dine-in menu even if they don’t list them on their website menu. If you want to provide prices but your website menu doesn’t’ have pricing, you could either add prices to your website or we could create a separate page with pricing that is only available to guests who scan your QR code.

There is a chance you won’t ever need to, but there are several situations where you might need to. For example, if you create a different webpage for your menus, change your domain, or want to redirect users to a different platform (perhaps to an online ordering platform).  All of these likely would change the URL of where your guests will access your online menu.  The Pro Plan (with a dynamic code) allows you to make these changes without having to create a new QR code and therefore make you reprint everything that has your old QR code.

No, any mobile phone that has access to the internet will be able to access your menu.  Any mobile device with a cellular package doesn’t need WiFi to access your menu, so it would be important to at least get decent cell service in your establishment. We do recommend providing WiFi though because it can also be one of your best marketing tools - see more here.

Yes!  As long as it renders well on mobile, a PDF can work just fine.  We recommend HTML-based menus for an optimized user experience and Search Engine Optimization. We can help explain the difference and get you an HTML-based version if you want, but you can definitely get started without one.

QR codes provide a quick and easy way to direct your guests to ANY content you want them to see or engage with. It could point people to a promotional flyer, a newsletter sign-up form, a V-card (contact info), or many more options. We actually recommend using one as your “To Go” menu, allowing you to print a card with a QR code that can be scanned, an therefore you’ll never have to decide between throwing your To Go menus away or handing out outdated ones every time you have to make a menu change. 

Access to scan data; which will tell you how often code(s) are scanned and where people scan them from (helpful if you’re putting it on marketing collateral that is going outside of your restaurant).

All of our plans come with a custom-flyer that includes the three simple steps to scanning a QR code.

Creation of your custom QR code and a marketing flyer with your QR code on it and steps on how to use it (printing of these flyers is NOT included).
