Restaurant menus
A code on the table opens your menu. Change prices on the website and the code stays the same — nothing has to be reprinted.
Build a QR code in your brand's colours, with your own logo in the middle. Download the file and put it on a business card, a flyer or a menu. Free, and no account needed.

QR codes work where someone already has a phone in hand and doesn't want to retype a web address. These are the uses people ask about most.
A code on the table opens your menu. Change prices on the website and the code stays the same — nothing has to be reprinted.
Instead of typing your address off a piece of card, people scan and land on your site. With a logo inside it looks designed, not bolted on.
Moves someone from paper to a specific page — an offer, a signup form, a map. And you can measure how many people actually arrived.
Instructions, ingredients, a how-to video or the warranty page — without eating up space on a small label.
A code carrying the network details: guests scan and connect without you reciting a password. Ideal for cafés, offices and short-term rentals.
A code pointing straight at your Google review form — the simplest way to get a happy customer to leave one before they walk out.
The usual causes of a printed code that won't read. All four take about a minute to avoid.
Scan the finished file with two different phones — ideally one Android and one iPhone — and check it goes where it should. Fixing this after a thousand flyers are printed costs considerably more than a minute of testing.
Yes. QR codes have built-in error correction — they still read when part of the surface is covered. A logo in the centre taking up to roughly 30% of the code won't stop it working.
Test the finished file with a phone before printing anyway.
No. This is a static code — the address is encoded directly into the image, so it works indefinitely and doesn't rely on some redirect service that might shut down in three years.
The trade-off: once it's printed, you can't change where it points. Aim it at a page you control rather than a link that might move.
SVG for print — it's vector, so it stays sharp at any size, right up to a banner.
A high-resolution PNG is fine for screens and smaller printed pieces.
Yes — no account, no email address. Build the code, download the file, done.
On anything held in the hand — flyer, business card — about 2 × 2 cm is the floor.
Rule of thumb: the width of the code should be roughly one tenth of the distance it'll be scanned from. A shop-window code read from three metres wants to be around 30 cm.
If the code should point at a website you don't have yet — or one you'd rather not show anyone — get in touch. I'll tell you straight whether it's worth fixing or cheaper to rebuild.
