QR menu for restaurants that stays useful after the scan

A Ramlyon QR menu gives every table a fast, branded food list that guests can open with a phone camera—without downloading an app or creating an account. It is more than a PDF behind a square code: guests can search, move between categories, inspect choices and see the information your restaurant is publishing now.

Give every guest a menu built for a phone

Each restaurant receives its own Ramlyon subdomain. The public menu is mobile-first, supports light and dark presentation, and can carry your logo, cover image, colours and restaurant details. If you enable the install option, a guest can also add the menu to a home screen under your restaurant's name and icon. The menu remains a web experience; installation is optional.

Sticky category navigation helps a guest jump from breakfast to drinks without scrolling back to the top. Search filters the visible dishes immediately in the browser. Opening a dish reveals the name, description, photo, price, available variants and add-ons. The same item can appear in more than one category, so a best seller can also remain in its natural section without duplicate maintenance.

You choose which of the available menu languages to publish. The switcher shows only those languages, and disappears when one language is enough. Arabic is handled right to left. Guests can copy the link, share it through familiar apps, or show another diner the on-screen QR code.

Turn tables into useful entry points

Ramlyon can generate a distinct QR code for each named table. The table reference travels in the URL fragment and is captured by the browser after the cached page loads, so the same fast menu document serves every table. When ordering is enabled, a scan at table 7 can carry table 7 into the cart automatically. Sharing the normal menu link does not accidentally share that table assignment.

The QR designer supports branded foreground and background colours, body and corner styles, logo placement and an optional label. Contrast checks protect scan reliability when a chosen brand colour is too light for its surface. You can download reusable PNG, SVG and PDF outputs, including a print-ready A4 table-tent layout, instead of rebuilding the code in a separate design tool.

An older ramlyon.com/m/... menu address permanently redirects to the restaurant subdomain. That means an already printed Ramlyon QR continues to lead to the same menu after the address architecture changes.

Keep the food list current without reprinting

From the dashboard you can create, reorder, hide and archive categories. Items carry a photo, translated name and description, price, variants, add-ons and a discount when needed. A hidden dish disappears; an unavailable dish stays visible but cannot be ordered, so those two operational choices remain distinct. A chef can receive the narrow permission to change availability without receiving permission to edit prices or delete items.

Phone photos are compressed on the server before they are served from object storage and a CDN. When you publish a change, the menu cache is invalidated by that write rather than waiting for a timer. The next request receives the new content, while ordinary scans continue to use a static, cacheable page that normally needs no database work.

Working hours, the restaurant timezone and service controls are shipped to the menu so the browser can show an open or closed state without baking a clock into cached HTML. You can keep browsing available after closing, hide prices while closed, publish a busy message, pause ordering, or switch the menu to browse-only mode. Browse-only removes cart and add controls while keeping the food list useful.

Choose the plan around the workflow you need

The QR menu, table-aware codes, menu editor, languages, brand controls and WhatsApp ordering are available with the Menu plan and remain included with Operations. Operations adds real web orders that enter the dashboard, restaurant POS, the kitchen display, staff controls and advanced operational analytics. Compare the exact current inclusions on the pricing page.

Both plans use the same restaurant account and menu data. Moving to Operations does not require rebuilding the food list or replacing printed Ramlyon QR codes.

Privacy without a banner in front of the food

The browsing menu sets no cookies. Anonymous menu measurement uses a random identifier in browser storage, is isolated to the restaurant, and is not used for advertising. A guest can reset that identifier or turn measurement off from the Privacy control in the menu footer. A functional guest-session cookie is created only when a guest places a real web order and needs access to that order's status.

QR menu questions

Do guests need to install an app?

No. A guest scans with the phone camera and the menu opens in the browser. A restaurant may optionally let guests install its branded menu to a home screen for later access.

Can one QR code identify a table?

Yes. Ramlyon can generate a code per table and carry that table into an enabled ordering flow. The normal shared menu link omits the table reference.

What happens when I change a price or mark a dish unavailable?

The write clears the public-menu cache immediately. Hidden items disappear, while unavailable items remain visible and cannot be added to an order.

Is a QR menu included without POS?

Yes. The Menu plan is designed for the public food list, QR tools and WhatsApp ordering. POS and the kitchen workflow are Operations features.
