QR Menu for Iraq Restaurants: Arabic and English Digital Menus for Baghdad, Erbil and Basra

Iraq is where doXmenu first went live in the Middle East: Shiriny Shaan has run its menu on the platform since August 2026. The questions an owner in Baghdad or Erbil asks are specific: how do I change prices when meat goes up, which languages do I show, how do I pay, who builds the menu? This guide answers them.

Why a QR menu pays off in Iraq

• Prices move. Meat, chicken and imported goods change price often. On paper the menu is reprinted or, more often, not updated at all and the margin quietly disappears. On a digital menu the change takes a minute from a phone.
• Three languages on one table. Arabic for most guests, English for business visitors and NGOs, Turkish along the northern trade routes. One QR code covers all of them.
• Photos sell. Grills, masgouf, kebab and dessert menus do better with photos. Adding one to every item costs nothing on a digital menu.
• Ramadan. Iftar menus and group offers switched on and off by date, without a second printed menu.

What does a QR menu in Iraq need to handle?

Arabic right to left, English, Turkish

doXmenu lays Arabic out right to left with an Arabic typeface, English and Turkish left to right, and lets the guest switch in one tap. Automatic translation gets the first draft done; keep local dish names as they are and add a short description. Kurdish is not among the 24 menu languages today.

Editing from a phone, not a laptop

If you run the business from your phone, the doXmenu dashboard works there too: change a price, hide a dish that ran out, add tonight's special.

Payment and pricing that make sense

The subscription is billed in euro by card: 12.99€ a month on the yearly plan, about 15 USD at the ECB rate of 25 September 2026, first month free, no card required to start. Prices on the menu itself are in dinars, dollars or any currency you type. There are no commissions and no per-table fees.

Setup without a designer

Upload the current menu as a PDF or even as phone photos, and AI menu import builds a draft in a few minutes, translated into your other menu languages. You check it and publish. The shop does not deliver to Iraq, so you download the QR code and print it locally.

Baghdad, Erbil, Basra, Mosul

Baghdad. Karrada, Mansour and Jadriya restaurants with fast-moving prices and mixed Arabic and English guests. Erbil. Arabic, English and Turkish on one code for the Ankawa and 60 Meter Street venues. Basra. Business travellers from the Gulf and oil-sector visitors; English matters more here. Mosul. A reopening restaurant scene where a digital menu is cheaper than printing.
