Generate QR Codes
Each table in tableQ has a unique QR code. When guests scan it, they're taken directly to your menu for that specific table.
Generating QR Codes
QR codes are automatically generated when you create a table. To access them:
- Go to QR Codes in the sidebar
- You'll see all tables with their QR codes
Downloading and printing
For each table you can use:
- Download — saves the QR code as a PNG image
- Print — opens your browser's print dialog
If you want to print multiple tables at once, use Download all to generate a single PDF with all QR codes.
Buttons on the “QR Codes” page
At the top of the page you’ll also find:
- Compact / Standard — changes the QR layout (how much header/text is shown around the code)
- QR Design — opens global QR design settings (templates, colors, shapes). After saving, the design is applied to all QR codes.
- Regenerate all table codes — generates new QR links for all tables (useful if you want to invalidate old printed codes)
- Regenerate restaurant code — resets the restaurant identifier used in QR links (invalidates old links; the app will then regenerate table codes)
Printing QR Codes
You can download QR codes as PDF for printing. We recommend:
- Size: At least 5×5 cm for easy scanning
- Material: Use laminated prints or table stands for durability
- Placement: Center of the table, clearly visible to guests
Regenerating QR Codes
If you suspect unauthorized access or want to refresh your QR codes:
- Single table: Click the regenerate button next to a specific table
- All tables: Use "Regenerate All QR Codes" in Settings → Tables
- Restaurant code: Use "Regenerate Restaurant Code" for maximum security reset
Regenerating QR codes will invalidate all previous codes. You'll need to reprint and replace them.
Tips for Best Results
- Print QR codes on a white background for optimal contrast
- Test every QR code after printing to confirm it works
- Consider adding a short instruction like "Scan to order" next to the QR code
