QR Code Menus for European Restaurants: The Complete 2026 Guide
QR menus are now standard across Europe's restaurant industry. This complete guide covers everything from EU allergen regulations to best practices for European hospitality.
A digitální menu you build yourself: Czech first, then English, German and 21 more languages on one code. Allergens by name on every dish, the polední menu live before 11:00, prices in koruna changed from your phone.
Use a digitální menu you edit yourself. With doXmenu you write the jídelní lístek in Czech, add English and German for visitors on the same QR code, mark the 14 EU allergens on each dish and keep prices in koruna. Czech rules let the allergen information sit on the menu itself. The first month is free; then 12.99€ a month on the yearly plan, about 316 Kč.
Czech stays the main language. Guests switch to English, German or another of the 24 menu languages with one tap; auto-translation fills them in, and a line you correct by hand stays as you wrote it.
Each dish shows its allergens by name in every language. Guests used to the numbers 1 to 14? Add them to the dish description: SZPI accepts codes when the menu explains them.
Of the 8.27 million guests in Prague’s collective accommodation in 2025, 6.70 million came from abroad, most from Germany, the USA and the UK (Czech Statistical Office). English and German sit on the same QR code, one tap away.
Rewrite the lunch menu from your phone each morning: it is live on every table the moment you save, with nothing to print. The QR code on the table stays the same.

Menus and data sit on Amazon Web Services servers in Frankfurt am Main, inside the EU. Guests open the menu in the browser, with no app and no account.
All 24 menu languages are included in the price. Guests switch language with one tap, and a line you correct by hand stays as you wrote it.
Allergen information is required for non-prepacked food, which includes every dish a restaurant serves, in every EU member state (Article 44).
Source: EU Regulation 1169/2011, Article 44Caterers must make the allergen information for each dish visible and easy to read (§ 9a(1)(b) of Act No. 110/1997 Coll. on food, in one of the ways set by § 7(3) of Decree No. 417/2016 Coll.). It may be written on the menu itself, by name or as number or letter codes the menu explains, or the menu may say that staff give it on request. For gluten, name the cereal, such as wheat.
