How to Create a Digital Drinks Menu with a QR Code

A digital drinks menu lets bars and restaurants change prices in seconds, show photos and keep wine, cocktails, beer and coffee in one QR menu, in the guest’s own language.

A digital drinks menu is a QR-based beverage list your guests open with one scan. No app, no printing, and you change a price or add a seasonal cocktail in seconds. With doXmenu your food and drinks live in one QR menu, so guests switch from the dinner list to the wine list with a single tap.

Why bars and restaurants switch to a digital drinks menu

  • Instant price changes. Happy-hour pricing, a sold-out wine, a new tap beer: update it from your phone and guests see it immediately.
  • Photos show the drink. Guests see the cocktail before they order it.
  • One menu, 24 languages. Tourists read the drinks list in their own language, switched with one tap.
  • Sold out in one tap. Hide a finished wine or a keg that ran dry without deleting it, and show it again when it is back.
  • Allergens and notes. Sulphites in wine are one of the 14 EU allergens, so you mark them on the drink; a note such as "contains caffeine" goes in the description.

How to create a digital drinks menu in 5 minutes

  1. Sign up free: the first month is on us, with no credit card.
  2. Add categories (wine, cocktails, beer, coffee, soft drinks) with prices and photos.
  3. Switch on your guests' languages; auto-translation fills them in.
  4. Print your QR code and place it on the bar and tables, or order stands from the shop.

A wine list that keeps up

Put the wine list in its own category, grouped by red, white, rosé and sparkling. List the glass and the bottle as two lines with their own prices, give each bottle a short note in the guest's language, and hide a vintage the day it runs out. Food, drinks and wine sit behind the same QR code, so guests move from the dinner list to the wine list with one tap.

doXmenu is 12.99€ per month billed annually, first month free. Food and drinks menus are both included, with unlimited items and all 24 languages.
