Questions restaurant owners ask us
How does a QR code menu work?
You put a card with a QR code on each table. Guests scan it with their phone camera and your menu page opens, with no app to download. With Codex QR you create that page from a photo of the menu you already have.
Do I have to retype my whole menu?
No. Take up to 6 photos or upload the PDF of your menu: the AI reads it in 10-30 seconds and finds sections, dishes, prices, language and currency. Prices it isn't sure about are marked in orange, so you only check those. You can also paste a list of dishes or start from scratch.
Can guests order from their phone?
No, and they don't need to. Guests tap + on dishes to build a list, can add a note, then show it to the waiter full screen. Nothing is sent: the list stays on their phone and your staff take the order as usual.
Can I change prices after printing the QR?
Yes, with Pro. Edit the menu, press Update, and anyone who scans the QR sees the new version right away, while the card on the table stays the same. On the Free plan the menu can't be edited after you create it.
How much does it cost?
The Free plan costs nothing and includes 5 QR codes and 100 scans a month per account. When the scans run out, your codes pause until next month, and the menu page shows a small “Shared via Codex QR” line. Pro is $9 a month or $84 a year and includes 50,000 scans a month.
Does it work with menus in other languages?
Yes. The AI detects the language and currency of your menu, and the buttons guests see appear in the menu's language. Arabic and other right-to-left languages work too.
Do I need an account?
You can open the editor and look around right away. To have the AI read your photos and to create the QR, you sign up for a free Codex QR account.
Grab the menu you already have and snap a photo
A few seconds to read it, a few minutes to check the prices. Then print the QR and your guests have the menu on their phone.
