Direct answer
A digital menu is an online version of a restaurant's food or drink list. It may be a responsive web catalog or a hosted PDF/image. Menqrly is designed for restaurants that already have a finished menu and want to publish it quickly behind a permanent QR code.

Choose the right digital format
Structured HTML menus can offer advanced search and item-level controls, but require data entry. A hosted PDF or image preserves the restaurant's design and is faster to maintain when the source file already exists.
Design for a phone screen
Use readable type, strong contrast, clear categories, and a sensible page count. Before publishing, open the file on a small phone and confirm prices, allergen notes, and section labels can be read without guesswork.
Treat the QR code as distribution
The digital menu is the destination; the QR code is one way to reach it. The same menu link can also be shared on a website, social profile, booking confirmation, or window sign.
Frequently asked questions
Is a digital menu the same as a QR menu?
A QR menu is a digital menu distributed through a QR code. A digital menu can also be opened from an ordinary web link.
Does a digital menu need online ordering?
No. It can simply display food, drinks, prices, and restaurant information.
Can I use my existing PDF?
Yes. Menqrly is specifically designed to publish an existing PDF or image menu.
