QR code table tents that people actually scan
Updated
The table tent is where most menu scans happen. A good one is readable from a seat, says exactly what the code does and survives a week of spilled coffee.
Below is what makes a table tent work, followed by a free maker that turns any menu link into a print-ready tent.
Size and placement
A tent about 10 × 15 cm (4 × 6 inches) per side fits most tables without getting in the way. Make the QR code at least 4 cm wide so it scans from a seat, and print the same design on both sides so every guest can see one.
Wording that gets scans
Tell people what they get: "Scan for our menu" works better than a bare code. If Wi-Fi is available, print the network name under the code, since many guests scan with a weak signal.
Materials that last
Use 250–300 gsm card, or slide your print into an acrylic stand so it can be wiped clean. Avoid glossy lamination directly over the code; reflections under ceiling lights make scanning slower.
Make yours for free
Enter your restaurant name and your menu link, whether it is a menulink.live address, your website or even a PDF, and download a print-ready table tent. It takes about a minute.
