A QR menu that is never out of date

One QR code on the table, one PDF behind it. Change the menu and every code in the room serves the new version - guests just scan and swipe, no app, no account.

Scan, swipe, order

The swipe viewer is built for one-handed phones at a table: pages flick horizontally, load fast, and read clean. Flipbook mode gives the wine list its page-turn.

Reprint nothing

The QR code points at the link, not the file. Update prices, 86 a dish, launch the seasonal menu - the code on every table serves the new PDF the moment you upload it.

No app, no friction

Guests scan with the camera they already have and the menu opens in the browser. No download, no sign-up, no 'please install our app' - the whole thing is one scan.

Your look, your domain

On Pro the viewer carries your logo, colours, and background - and the link can live on your own domain, so the URL under the code reads like your restaurant, not ours.

The laminated menu, retired properly

QR menus won the pandemic and then mostly got worse: clunky PDF downloads, menu apps guests refuse to install, or web menus that drift out of sync with the kitchen. The fix is not more software - it is a better link. FileDroppr serves the same designed PDF your print shop uses, in a viewer built for phones: swipe mode for the à la carte, flipbook for the wine list, loading in a breath on cellular.

The economics are the point. A printed menu change costs a design round and a reprint for every copy in the room; a FileDroppr menu change costs uploading the new PDF. The QR codes on the tables, the window, and the delivery flyers never change - they point at the link, and the link always serves the current menu.

The workflow, feature by feature

Upload the menu PDF, pick swipe mode. Use the same artwork you print. Swipe mode reads best for single-column menus; flipbook and magazine suit multi-page food and wine books.
Print the QR code once. Table cards, window vinyl, delivery inserts. The code is a stable PNG tied to the link - laminate it and forget it.
Update by replacing the PDF. New prices tonight, truffle menu next week - upload the new file and every code in the room is current. No app store, no CMS, no reprint.
Brand the viewer (Pro). Logo, accent colour, background - and a custom CTA button that can point at your booking page or ordering system.

What the scan counts tell you

Every scan is a tracked view, so the readership report doubles as light operational data: how many guests open the menu per service, which pages they linger on, and - if you print distinct links per location or per placement - which sites and which table cards actually get scanned.

Guests stay anonymous: readership is measured first-party in the viewer, and no IP address is ever stored. You count scans and pages; you do not surveil diners.

QR menu questions.

How do I turn my menu PDF into a QR code?

Upload the PDF to FileDroppr and download the QR code that comes with the link. Print it on table cards or window vinyl - guests scan with their phone camera and the menu opens as a swipeable viewer in the browser. The whole setup takes a few minutes.

Do guests need to install an app?

No. The menu opens in the phone browser straight from the camera scan - no app, no account, no download. That is the whole point.

How do I update prices without reprinting the QR codes?

Replace the PDF behind the link. The QR code points at the link, not the file, so every printed code immediately serves the new menu. Codes never need reprinting for a menu change.

Can the menu match our restaurant branding?

On Pro, yes - your logo, accent colour, and background on the viewer, a custom button (for bookings or online ordering), and the link on your own domain so the URL reads as yours.

What does a QR menu cost?

The free plan works for a single menu with up to 3 active PDFs. Basic ($9/month) covers a full menu set with longer-lived links; Pro ($29/month) adds branding, your own domain, and never-expiring links - a fraction of one print run.

Put tonight’s menu on a code.

Upload the menu PDF, print the code once, and never pay for a price-change reprint again.
