Best QR Code Size for Menus

The best QR code size for menus depends on where the code will be placed, how far away customers are, and how much surrounding space you have. In most restaurants, a menu QR code should be large enough to scan comfortably without forcing people to move too close.

Quick answer

  • Table menu QR code: about 1.2 to 1.5 inches wide
  • Counter sign QR code: about 1.5 to 2 inches wide
  • Window or poster QR code: 2 to 4 inches wide

Best practices

  • Use dark-on-light contrast
  • Leave enough white space around the code
  • Test the printed version on multiple phones
  • Use SVG when possible for cleaner print output
