Publish the menu before the QR

  1. Prepare an HTTPS page or public PDF and open it while signed out of your account.
  2. Paste its URL above and generate the QR. Where possible, choose a stable address on your domain for continuity.
  3. Print a proof on the intended table or surface and check loading, menu readability and phone navigation.

Schema to complete

https://example.com/menu

Check the result

example.com is a demonstration domain. QRWave does not embed or update the menu. A changed URL needs a new static QR; after updating a file at the same URL, check that the new content is actually served. A WhatsApp ordering chat is a different destination from the menu page.

Update the menu without replacing the sign

A static QR stores an address, not a copy of the menu. You can update the document while keeping exactly the same public URL. Before replacing the file, check whether the hosting service preserves that address or creates a new one.

Example: the code points to https://example.com/menu. After updating the menu, open that same address in a private window and on another phone. Check that the new version is visible without signing into your account. example.com is only an example.

ChoicePractical effect
Page or PDF at a stable URLUpdate the content at that address; check caching and permissions after every change.
New file with a different URLThe old QR still points to the old address. Keep a redirect on your domain, or generate and print a new code.
Temporary or private linkIt may expire or require a login. Publish a destination accessible to customers before printing.
Orders and bookingsA menu QR opens the menu. A WhatsApp enquiry needs a separate link; it does not automatically confirm an order.
