How to use QR codes for multilingual menus

Tourists struggle with paper in one language. A QR can branch to the right locale—or let users self-select—while you keep allergen info synchronized across versions.

Built for restaurants in tourist and metro areas.

Do this in order

  1. Design the first screen with a clear language picker and allergen banner.
  2. Keep URLs stable; manage translations in your CMS.
  3. Use dynamic QR if you consolidate domains later.
  4. Train staff to help guests who prefer paper for accessibility reasons.

Common placements

  • language switch menu
  • tourist menu access
  • seasonal translations

Hospitality detail

  • Show spice levels with icons.
  • Offer text-only path for low vision guests.
