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 menu QR you build yourself: Polish first, then English, German and 21 more languages on one code. Allergens by name on every dish, the danie dnia live before noon, prices in złoty changed from your phone.
Use a menu QR you edit yourself. With doXmenu you write the menu in Polish, add English and German for visitors on the same QR code, mark the 14 EU allergens on each dish and keep prices in złoty. The Act on the Polish Language asks for a Polish version of offers to consumers who live in Poland, so Polish stays the first menu language and the others sit next to it. The first month is free; then 12.99€ a month on the yearly plan.
Polish stays the main language, as the Act on the Polish Language expects. 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.
Mark the 14 EU allergens once per dish; guests see them by name next to the dish, in their own language, and they stay current when a recipe changes.
Add the dish of the day or the lunch set in the morning, hide it with one tap when it sells out, change a price in złoty during service. The printed QR code never changes.
7.9 million foreign guests stayed in tourist accommodation in Poland in 2024, 1.8 million of them from Germany (GUS, places with 10 or more beds). Switch on German and English on the same QR code, and each guest picks a language with one tap.

Allergen information is required for non-prepacked food, which includes every dish a restaurant serves, in every EU member state (Article 44).

An English or German menu sits next to the Polish one, not in its place.

Yes. Polish is one of the 24 menu languages and can be the first one, so a guest’s first visit opens the menu in Polish. Guests switch to English, German or another language with one tap on the same QR code, and your dashboard can be in Polish too.
For guests who live in Poland, yes: the Act on the Polish Language (Articles 7 and 7a) asks for offers and consumer information in Polish, and an offer in a foreign language needs a Polish version at the same time. English and German go next to Polish, not instead of it. On doXmenu, Polish can be the first menu language, with the others one tap away. This is our reading, not legal advice.
