Free QR Code Menu
Free QR Code Menu
There are at least four different things vendors mean by “free QR menu”, and only one of them survives contact with a real restaurant. This page explains all four, then states plainly what our free plan includes and what it does not.
No credit card, no trial clock, no per-table or per-scan billing. One published menu, all nine designs, four languages, and the allergen and calorie fields — permanently.

Four Things Vendors Mean by “Free”
Read enough QR menu pricing pages and you will notice the word free doing four completely different jobs. Knowing which one you are being offered before you print two hundred table cards is worth ten minutes.
Free trial
Fully featured for 7, 14 or 30 days, then billing starts. Fine for evaluation, but if you print codes during the trial you have handed the vendor real leverage over you on day 31.
Free static QR code only
The generator hands you an image and walks away. There is no menu — you still have to host one somewhere — and because the code is static, the destination can never change. This is what most “free QR code generator” results actually give you.
Free tier with the useful parts removed
A real free plan, but the multi-language switch, the photos or the good designs sit behind the upgrade. Common and not dishonest, but check which side of the line the feature you actually need falls on.
Free with vendor branding
Everything works; the vendor’s name appears on your menu. Whether that matters depends on how your room reads. This is the model our free plan uses, and we would rather write it here than let you discover it after publishing.
All Nine Designs Are on the Free Plan
Not a stripped-down starter theme with the good ones behind a paywall. These are the same designs paying venues use.

Open full screen →What Our Free Plan Actually Includes
One published QR menu and two drafts. All nine designs, not a subset. A customizable QR code you can download at print resolution. Menus in up to four languages. Dish photos, dietary labels, and the calorie, ingredient and allergen fields. Your address, opening hours and phone number on the menu itself. An SEO sitemap and IndexNow indexing, so the page is a real search asset rather than a hidden document. SSL included, because a menu served over plain HTTP throws a browser warning at your guests.
What it does not include, stated as plainly: the Web Gerek badge stays on the menu until you upgrade. Visitor analytics are a paid feature, so on the free plan you cannot see how many people scanned. The one-click AI translation is paid — the four language slots are yours on free, but you type the translations yourself. There is no link-in-bio page and no PageSpeed testing.
There is no time limit and no card. If one published menu is all a single-location café ever needs, the free plan is a permanent home rather than a runway to an invoice.

The Trap Worth Avoiding: Printing Before You Check the Code Type
The single most expensive mistake with a free QR menu is printing at scale against a static code. A static code has its destination fixed inside the pattern. If the free tool that generated it later shuts down, changes its redirect policy, or moves your menu behind a paywall, every card on every table becomes waste paper.
Test before you commit. Generate the code, publish the menu, then change something trivial — a price, an item name — and rescan the same printed proof. If the change appears, the code is dynamic and the destination is under someone’s ongoing control. If you had to generate a new code to see the change, it is static, and you now know exactly what a reprint will cost you.
Then print ten, not two hundred. Live with them for a week across the actual room: the dim corner booth, the sunny window table, the outdoor seats at noon. Scan them with the oldest phone in the building. Only then order the full run.
This advice costs us nothing to give and it applies whichever vendor you choose, including the free static generators we are competing with. A restaurant that prints two hundred cards against a code it cannot change is a restaurant that will not trust digital menus again for years.
