How to Set Up QR Code Ordering for Your Restaurant in 5 Minutes

Step 1: Sign Up for Your Free XMenuQR Account

Visit xmenuqr.in/get-started. Enter your restaurant name (e.g. Royal Cafe & Bistro), contact phone number, and city. No credit card is required, and your 100% free account is created instantly.

Step 2: Add Menu Categories & Dishes

Navigate to Dashboard ➔ Menu Editor. You can either use our pre-built 1-click Indian Cafe Preset menu or build your custom categories:

• Categories: Add sections like Hot Beverages, Starters, Sandwiches & Toasties, Main Course, Desserts.
• Dishes: Enter item names, prices, descriptions, and prep time (e.g. 10 mins).
• FSSAI Markers: Tag each dish as 🟢 Veg, 🔴 Non-Veg, or 🟡 Egg.
• Dish Photos: Snap a photo with your smartphone camera and upload it directly—authentic real food photos convert 40% better than stock images!

Step 3: Generate & Print Table QR Standees

Go to Dashboard ➔ Table Management. Enter your total number of tables (e.g. 10 tables).

XMenuQR automatically generates individual unique QR codes for each table (`Table 1`, `Table 2`, `VIP Booth`). Tap **"Download Printable PDF"** to get crisp, high-resolution QR graphics formatted for standard acrylic table standees (A6/A5 size) or table stickers.
