The best QR code menu makers for restaurants, compared
Two kinds of tools make “menus”: design tools that export a printable file, and QR menu platforms that host a live menu on guests' phones. Here's how they differ.
Design tool or live QR menu?
Design tools
Canva, Adobe Express, Venngage, Fotor, Design.com and Kodo make menu graphics. Great for print. A QR code to one of their files points to a fixed image or PDF, so every price change means a new file.
Live QR menu platforms
spotmymenu, iMenuPro and QR Menu Generator host your menu at a permanent link. You edit it online and guests always see the current version, and the QR code never changes.
