QR Code Menu for Burger Restaurants
TL;DRA burger menu fails when the build is unclear or the price of the double is hiding under a paragraph. Guests decide from the name, the two or three things on the burger, and the price. A QR code menu lets you change a topping or mark a special sold out without reprinting the board.
The sample is the burger restaurant, a fictional place called Patty Lane: a classic, a double, a garden burger, fries and a malt. Open it, then put your own builds in. How the rest of the setup works is a digital menu for restaurants.
Write the build, then the price
One line for what is on the burger. Cheese, sauce, the pickle, the bun if the bun is the point. A second sentence only if the cook is unusual. Guests comparing three burgers will not read a story on each.
If the single and the double are the same burger, make them variants on one dish so the price difference is obvious. If they are different recipes, they are different dishes. Add-ons that change the price, such as bacon or a gluten-free bun, are variants or a short note with the price, not a separate section of twenty modifiers nobody can scan.
Sides and shakes can be their own section. Keep it shorter than the burgers. A menu that leads with fries trains people to price-shop the side.
Specials, 86s and a second daypart
A weekend smashburger that sells out should be marked sold out, not deleted and retyped next Friday. The dish stays. The mark tells the guest. Staff can set it with a PIN that cannot edit the price.
Lunch and dinner can be two menus on a schedule if the lunch list is actually different. The QR code on the table stays. If the list is the same from 11 to 9, one menu is the honest choice. A schedule you do not need is another thing to forget.
Board, tent and phone
The phone menu and the printed tent should name the same burgers at the same prices. Export the tent or a one-column menu from the same dishes. The price sits in its own column so “the double with cheddar and pickles” does not push $16 off the edge.
Photos help on a burger people have not seen. They do not help on fries. The sample shows a photo on the classic and leaves the rest as type. That is a reasonable default. Turn photos off entirely if the room is dark and the pictures look like stock.

Price the burger from the plate, then publish
A burger's menu price is a food-cost decision before it is a design decision. Add the patty, the bun, the cheese, the sauce and the box if it travels. The food cost calculator turns that plate cost and a target percentage into a suggested price. It does not write the price onto the menu. You do.
Open the sample, then start from that design or import your current PDF. Check every line. Publish when it is right. The code you put on the table does not change when the cheddar goes up. Paste the menu link into Google Business Profile if Maps should open this page. We do not push the burgers into Google's editor.
Other rooms use other samples. A drinks-first list is the cocktail bar. The set of designs is restaurant menu templates.
Frequently asked questions
Can I show a single and a double on one item?
Yes. Add them as variants, each with its own price. Guests see both prices on the dish.
Will guests need an app to read the burger menu?
No. The QR code opens the menu in the phone's browser.
Can guests order the burger from the page?
No. The page shows the menu. Your staff take the order. Products that include ordering are a different purchase.
Preview is free. Publishing is $29 a month.
