The short answer

How do you get a QR menu for a restaurant in the United States?

Use a QR code menu you edit yourself. With doXmenu you put food and drinks behind one code, write the menu in English and switch on Spanish and the other languages your guests read, mark the allergens of each dish so guests see them by name, and change prices in dollars from your phone. The first month is free; then $14.99 a month on the yearly plan.

Why doXmenu fits restaurants in the United States

Allergens by name

Tick the allergens of each dish once. The 14 doXmenu tracks include all nine major US food allergens, with wheat under gluten. Guests see an icon next to the price and the allergen names on the dish page, and one tap lists every dish that contains one.

English and Spanish on one code

Write the menu in English and switch on Spanish, French, German, Italian and more of the 24 menu languages. Guests switch with one tap, and a line you correct by hand stays as you wrote it.

Prices in dollars, changed in seconds

Menu prices show in dollars. Change them from your phone for a new season or a special, and hide what has sold out with one tap.

Every outlet, one account

Restaurant, rooftop bar, pool bar and room service each get their own menu and QR code, managed from one dashboard.

A menu you design

Your logo, colors and fonts, from a taco spot to a hotel restaurant: 16 font styles and 70 ready-made palettes, previewed before you save.

Your menu from a photo, with AI

Upload photos or a PDF of your current menu and AI builds a draft in a few minutes, translated into your other menu languages. You check it and publish.

Rules to know in the United States

  • The nine major food allergens in the US are milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans and sesame. Sesame became the ninth on January 1, 2023, under the FASTER Act.

  • The 2022 FDA Food Code asks food businesses to tell guests in writing when a major food allergen is an ingredient of unpackaged food, such as a dish on the menu. The Food Code is a model: your state or local health department decides whether and when it applies, so check which edition it follows.

  • Restaurants in a chain of 20 or more locations, doing business under the same name with substantially the same menu items, must show calories for standard items on menus and menu boards, state that 2,000 calories a day is used for general nutrition advice, and give more nutrition information in writing on request. Compliance date: May 7, 2018.

See a live menu in English and Spanish

doXmenu has no client venue in the United States yet, so here are live menus that open in English with Spanish one tap away: Deja Brew Pub in Croatia and Hydra Spa in Budva, Montenegro (menus read on October 28, 2026). Open one on your phone, tap a dish to see its allergens by name, and switch the language.

Miami-Dade welcomed over 28 million visitors in 2024, a record, with Colombia, Brazil and the United Kingdom among its leading international markets (Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, May 29, 2025). For a restaurant there, that means English and Spanish on the same code first, with French, German, Italian and the other menu languages one switch away.

QR menus in the United States, answered

Yes. Restaurants, bars, cafés and hotels in every state can sign up and go live today, in English. doXmenu has no client venue in the US yet; the live menus above show how it works on a phone.

A QR code menu can give written allergen information for every dish, which is what the 2022 FDA Food Code asks for where your state or county has adopted it. It is only as accurate as the allergens you mark, and some guests will not scan it, so keep staff who can answer questions and a printed option. It is not a guarantee of compliance; your local health department has the final word.

Yes. Spanish is one of the 24 menu languages, with automatic translation. Write the menu in English, switch Spanish on, and guests pick their language with one tap on the same code. A line you correct by hand is never overwritten.

Yes, as an option: each dish can carry calories, protein, fat and carbs per portion, shown on the dish page. A chain of 20 or more locations must show calories on the menu itself, so add them to the dish description as well, where they show in the list.

Your dashboard shows $14.99 a month on the yearly plan, $15.99 a month billed every 6 months, or $16.99 month to month. The first month is free with no credit card; there is no forever-free plan. The payment is processed in Macedonian denars (MKD) and your bank converts it, so check whether your card adds a foreign transaction fee. No commission, no fee per table.

No. The doXmenu shop delivers in Europe and the Balkans. Download your QR code and print it locally, on stickers, table tents or acrylic stands.

Yes. A hotel runs room service, the restaurant, the pool bar and the rooftop bar as separate menus with their own QR codes in one account, and a bar changes drink prices from the phone behind the bar. See QR menus for hotels and QR menus for bars.
