How to make a free QR menu for a cafe from an existing PDF

What a cafe website can look like

See how guests could open your menu

The Nook cafe page in this article was built with InInfo. Try it as a guest: follow the link or scan the QR, then tap “View file”. After reading the menu, you can return to the map and contact buttons. The create-page button lets you use this template in your own InInfo account and replace the fictional cafe details with yours.

Open the example website

Nook cafe menu with dishes and prices in the InInfo viewer — An example website: the name, prices and contacts are fictional, and the photos are illustrations.

Download the sample PDF menu

Your menu keeps its familiar design

The InInfo template already includes a PDF menu block. First enter your cafe name and contacts, choose an address and save the page. After the first save you can upload your own file in that block. Once the PDF is uploaded, save and publish the changes again.

InInfo displays the document in the browser, preserving its design. Guests can read the menu, zoom in and return to the cafe page. Saving a separate PDF to the phone is optional; a download button is available for anyone who wants a copy.

Room for your cafe address and contacts beside the dishes

In the InInfo builder you can place a map, opening hours and contact blocks beside the menu. Our template has room for them already: enter your address and replace the demonstration details. The page will be useful both to someone sitting at a table and to someone planning a first visit.

The Contact block lets you add a phone number or WhatsApp and make the buttons float. They stay at the edge of the screen as visitors scroll, so after exploring the menu they can easily ask about a table or get in touch.

Your page can change along with your menu

Seasonal dishes arrive, prices change and new photos are taken. When the next PDF is ready, replace the old file on your page and publish the changes. Keep the page address and the QR codes on your tables will continue to open it with the new menu.

The same applies to links you have sent to guests or posted on social media. Someone returning to the familiar address will see the current version. We explain the update process in a separate article linked below.

When you want to show individual dishes in more detail

You may eventually want larger photos of favourite dishes, more about ingredients, and separate sections for breakfasts or desserts. InInfo has a catalog for that: each dish gets a card with an image, description and price. You can also connect a basket for sending an order.

Cards are filled in separately; a PDF does not turn into them automatically. You can come back to this later and make your first site with what you already have: a finished menu, your cafe name and a way for guests to contact you.

Create a page with my menu

The editor and publishing are free. No coding required.

Before you start

Is it free?

Registration, creating a page and publishing are available without payment or a bank card. Pages have an InInfo credit at the bottom. Check your account for its current features and limits.

What happens when I click the button?

After sign-up or login, a new draft opens from the example. It is not published automatically. Replace the fictional business details and contacts with your own, then save the page.

Is there a PDF size limit?

The editor accepts files smaller than 20 MB. The browser downloads PDF data over the internet to display it, but you do not have to save a file to the phone. The document keeps its fixed layout; small text may need zooming.
