QR MENU FOR RESTAURANTS

QR menus that show every plate in 3D before guests order

A QR sticker on every table. Guests scan, see each meal in 3D, and tap to order — without downloading anything. Mealar turns your menu into a QR experience in under fifteen minutes.

Why a QR menu beats a paper menu, every time

Faster updates, richer visuals, and zero app friction for your guests.

  • No app, ever

    Guests open your QR in their phone's camera. Mealar runs in any browser — iOS, Android, even old phones. No install, no friction, no lost orders.

  • 3D meals built in

    Every plate becomes a photorealistic 3D model guests can spin, zoom, and place on their actual table. AR-ready out of the box.

  • 5+ languages, automatic

    Tourists read the menu in their own language. AI auto-translates to English, Turkish, Norwegian, Arabic, German, French, and more.

  • Update once, propagate everywhere

    Change a price or 86 a dish in the dashboard — every QR scanned in the next second shows the new menu. No reprint.

Common questions about QR menus

Is the QR menu really free?
Yes. The Free tier lets you publish a QR menu without a card. 3D, video, and more than 5 meals per menu require a paid plan.
Do guests need to install anything?
No. The QR opens in any phone browser. iOS, Android, no app store visit required.
How fast is setup?
About seven minutes from signup to first scannable QR if your dish photos are ready.
Can guests order from the QR?
The QR shows your menu — guests can tap to send an order to staff (cart feature) or just preview the dish before ordering verbally.
Will it work on old phones?
Yes. The QR menu falls back to a plain HTML menu on phones that can't run 3D, so nobody is left out.
Do I need design skills?
No. Pick a theme, drop in photos, done. The dashboard handles spacing, typography, and contrast for you automatically.
What if my menu changes daily?
Update from your phone. Every QR scanned after the change shows the new menu — no reprint.
