Guests scan the QR code on the desk, the bedside stand or the restaurant table, and the menu opens in the phone’s browser in their own language, with no app. On doXmenu every outlet, from room service to the pool bar, has its own menu and QR code in one account, for 12.99€ a month billed yearly.

Why doXmenu
Why do hotels switch to a QR menu?
Every outlet, one account
Room service, restaurant, pool bar, lobby café and spa each get their own menu and QR code, managed from one dashboard.
Your guests’ languages
International guests scan once and read the whole menu in their own language, one of 24 menu languages with automatic translation.
Room service without reprints
A QR stand on the desk replaces the laminated room-service card that is always out of date. Change a dish once and every room sees it.
Allergens on every dish
Mark the 14 allergens EU Regulation 1169/2011 requires, and guests see them by name in their own language.
Menus on and off by season
Hide the pool bar menu at closing time and keep the winter menu for next season, without deleting anything.
Your property’s design
Your logo, colours, fonts and dish photos, so the menu matches the property and does not look like a template.

Hotel QR menu questions, answered
A hotel QR menu is the menu of a hotel outlet, such as room service, the restaurant or the pool bar, that guests open on their own phone by scanning a QR code. It opens in the browser with no app, and the hotel changes dishes, prices and photos from a dashboard without reprinting anything. It works the same way for resorts and guesthouses.
They point the phone camera at the QR code on the desk or bedside stand and tap the link. The room service menu opens in the browser in their own language, with no app and no login, and they order by phone as usual. Put a code in every room, on restaurant and bar tables, on pool loungers and at reception.
Yes. Room service, restaurant, pool bar, lobby café, spa and event menus each get their own menu and QR code, all managed from one account. Hotel Unique, for example, runs its lobby bar, restaurant, pool bar and room service menus on doXmenu.
No single QR menu is best for every hotel, so compare the same points on each: whether one account runs every outlet, how many menu languages it offers and whether it translates them, whether it shows the 14 EU allergens, how freely you can design it, the price and what it includes, and whether guests need an app. doXmenu’s answers: a menu and QR code for each outlet in one account, 24 menu languages with automatic translation, the 14 allergens on every dish, your own logo, colours and fonts, 12.99€ a month billed yearly with every feature included, no app for guests, and menus and data stored in the EU on AWS in Frankfurt. Our QR menu buyer guide lists every question to ask.
Yes. A doXmenu menu can be shown in 24 languages with automatic translation, and each guest picks a language with one tap on the same QR code. A line you correct by hand is never overwritten by the translation.
Yes. Each dish carries the 14 allergens EU Regulation 1169/2011 requires, shown by name in the guest’s language and kept current because the kitchen edits them in one place.
Yes. Any dish or category switches between available and hidden in seconds, so the pool menu disappears at closing time and the winter menu waits for next season without being deleted.
No. Hotels pay the same flat price as any venue: 12.99€ a month on the yearly plan (155.88€ a year), 13.99€ a month billed every 6 months, or 14.99€ month to month, with every feature included. The first month is free and you need no card. Groups with several properties can contact us for a tailored arrangement.
