The short answer

What is a bar QR code menu?

A bar QR code menu is your cocktail, beer and wine list on the guest’s own phone: they scan the code on the table and it opens in the browser, readable in a dark room, with no app. On doXmenu you change happy-hour prices from your phone in seconds, for 12.99€ a month billed yearly.

Why do bars switch to a QR code menu?

Readable in the dark

A lit phone screen beats a paper card in candlelight, so guests browse the whole cocktail list instead of ordering “whatever”.

Happy hour in seconds

Change prices from your phone at 18:00 and back at 20:00: no stickers, no arguments.

Waiter call beats waving

Once you switch table service on, guests call staff from the menu on a packed Friday night, and the guest who can call orders the second round.

Ingredients in every language

Every cocktail lists its ingredients and allergens in each language you enable, so tourists never order blind.

Cocktails, beer and wine, one code

Cocktails, beer, wine, spirits and food as separate menus behind one QR code, each with its own categories.

Signature drinks first

Give your signature cocktails their own photos and put them at the top of the list.
