Turn a Printed Menu Into a Digital QR Menu From a Photo

Typing a hundred dishes into a phone is the reason most outlets never get a digital menu. So you do not have to. Photograph the menu you already print, and the dishes and prices come off it.

What to photograph

• One page at a time, flat, in good light
• Close enough that the prices are readable to your own eye
• Avoid shadows across the middle, which is where most misreads come from

Checking what it found

Everything read off the photo is shown before it is saved. Prices are the thing worth checking properly: a misread price goes onto a guest's bill.

Why a digital menu matters

It is what a guest sees when they scan the code on their table, and what the counter picks from when billing. One menu, kept in one place, so a price change reaches both at once.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make a QR menu from my printed menu?

Yes. Photograph the printed menu and LaaoDo reads the dishes and prices off it. You check them and save.

How accurate is it?

Good enough to save most of the typing, not good enough to skip checking. Prices especially are worth reading over before you save.

Do I need a separate QR menu app?

No. The menu you set up is what the table codes open, so the QR menu is the same menu the counter bills from.

Can I photograph several pages?

Yes, one page at a time gives the cleanest result.
