Digital menu for bars and cafés: how to digitise your menu in 5 minutes
Specific guide for bars and cafés: how to create a digital QR menu for tapas, drinks, and daily specials. Free, no tech skills needed, done in 5 minutes.
Why bars need a digital menu
A bar has a particular challenge that fixed-menu restaurants don't: the menu changes constantly. Daily specials, seasonal prices, weekend dishes. Every change to a printed menu costs money and time.
With a digital menu, you change the daily special in 20 seconds from your phone. Without reprinting anything.
What types of menu can a bar digitise?
- Tapas and snacks — with photo and price, organised by type
- Sharing plates and half portions — with ingredient descriptions
- Drinks menu — beers, wines, cocktails, soft drinks
- Daily menu — updatable every morning in seconds
- Breakfast menu — for bars with morning service
How to create a digital menu for your bar step by step
Step 1: Create your free account
Go to QRMenu Pro and register with your email. In 30 seconds you have access to the panel. No credit card required.
Step 2: Create your menu categories
Organise the menu into sections: Cold starters, Hot starters, Mains, Snacks, Drinks, Desserts.
Step 3: Add your products
For each dish add name, price, a brief description with main ingredients, photo (optional but highly recommended), and allergens where applicable.
Step 4: Download and print your QR
Download the QR code in high resolution. Print it on table cards, a poster at the entrance, or stickers for outdoor terrace tables.
Frequently asked questions
Can I update the daily menu every morning?
Yes. With dynamic QR codes (Pro plan), you update the content from your phone and the change is immediately visible to all customers who scan the QR that day.
Does the QR menu work on outdoor terraces with poor signal?
Yes. The menu is optimised for fast loading on slow connections and is cached in the browser after the first load.
Can I include allergen information on the bar's digital menu?
Yes. Each product can have allergen labels. This reduces questions to staff and complies with food information regulations.
How much does a digital menu for a bar cost?
QRMenu Pro's free plan includes 3 QR codes, up to 10 products, and a public menu page. Advanced plans with dynamic QR codes start from €9/month.
