Questions

How do I change my menu without reprinting the codes?

Keep the same link and replace what's behind it. On your website, overwrite the file with the same name. In Google Drive, use Manage versions to upload the new menu over the old one. In Dropbox, upload a file with the same name to the same folder. Uploading a fresh copy usually makes a new link, which needs a new code.

Why should the menu be on my own storage?

Many menu QR services host your menu on a code that stops working if you stop paying. On your own website or storage, the code keeps working as long as the file does, and it costs nothing.

How do I print the table tent?

Select Print table tent and print at 100% scale. A6 faces fit on A4 paper, and 4 × 6 in faces fit on Letter. Cut along the outer line and fold along the middle. The back face is printed upside down, so both sides read the right way up once folded.

Should the menu be a PDF or a web page?

Either works. A web page reads better on phones and loads faster. A PDF is easier if you already have one; keep it small so it opens quickly on mobile data.

Can you check my link works?

We can spot links that only you can open, such as your Dropbox home page or a file on your computer. We can't open the link to check sharing, because nothing you type is sent anywhere. Open it in a private browser window to test it.

Do you see my menu link?

No. Your codes are made in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
