Simple Decision Guide

Static vs. Dynamic QR Codes: Which One Do You Need?

Choose between permanent direct-encoded codes (free forever, zero accounts) and high-speed cloud redirects (update links anytime & track scans).

Rule of Thumb:If your destination link will never change (Wi-Fi, vCard, UPI, fixed website), choose Static. If you might update the link later or want to count scans, choose Dynamic.

Frequently Asked Questions About Menu QR Code

Demonstrable facts regarding data encoding standards, printing limits, security, and scanner app compatibility.

Do diners need to install a special app to view the menu?

No. Modern iPhone and Android cameras automatically recognise QR codes natively and open the menu link directly in the mobile browser.

Can I link to a PDF menu or does it need to be a website?

You can link directly to a hosted PDF file, a Google Drive document, an online ordering website, or a social media catalog.

What size should I print menu QR codes for dining tables?

For seated diners scanning from 30 to 45 centimetres away, print the code at least 3.5 cm wide on acrylic table tents or table stickers.

Can I change my menu prices later without reprinting table stickers?

If you link to a hosted web page or replace the PDF at the same URL, your printed table QR codes will continue to show the updated menu without any reprinting.
