Printing it so it actually scans

The same rules as any QR code. Getting one of them wrong is why a code fails on a dark table.

Keeping the menu current

The printed code never changes. It points at your page, and only the page behind it changes – so a new price does not mean reprinting the tables.

On the free tool the page stays as you published it. Changes after publishing are something we do for clients – write to us and we will tell you how to set it up.

On the free tool the page is published once and stays as you published it. Changes after publishing are something we do for clients – send us what has changed and we will tell you how to set it up.

Questions

One menu per email address, in one language. A page that stays live, and the QR code as a PNG and an SVG. No account and no card. The guest page carries one line at the foot saying the menu was made with IT Nest.

Not on the free tool. The page goes live exactly as you saw it in the preview, which is why the publish step asks you to read it over first. Changes after publishing are something we do for clients – send us what has changed and we will tell you how to set it up.

Not on the free menu, because the page stays as you published it. For clients we take a sold-out dish off the page when you tell us. You will not have a panel to do it in yourself – you message us and we handle it.

The free menu is in the one language you write it in. Translation, where the page follows the language on the guest's phone, is something we set up for clients. Write to us and we will tell you what it involves for your menu.

Dish photos are part of what we set up for clients, because they need shooting and preparing properly to help rather than hurt. The free menu is text, and a background image behind your name at the top.

One per email address on the free tool. Separate menus – lunch and dinner, a bar list, one per site – are something we set up for clients, along with keeping them all current.

Well enough to save you the typing, not well enough to trust blindly. That is why what it reads is shown to you first, laid out as categories, dishes and prices, for you to correct before any of it is accepted. A flat, well-lit photo reads better than one taken at an angle.

No. The code points at your page and the page stays live. Print it once and it keeps working.

The free menu is always its own page with its own code. One code on the table for both the menu and your reviews is something we set up for clients. Write to us and we will do it.
