Designed for the phone, not a PDF
A clean single-column menu, 16px+ type, sticky section navigation, and instant load. No pinch, no zoom.
QR menu builder
Publish a QR menu. We keep it always live.
Iterate with the AI design partner until it's right. Then publish: a branded QR card, a fast mobile menu, and a permanent share link — rendered together and hosted forever on Carte.
What you get
A QR menu that respects guests, brands, and operators.
QR card that looks like your brand
Color-matched QR pattern, optional logo in the center, and a printable card layout that pairs the code with a short call to action.
Always live. Hosted forever.
Each published menu is a permanent edition — frozen at publish, hosted forever on Carte. The QR you print today still resolves to the same menu years from now.
A stable URL per edition
Every published edition gets its own permanent URL. Share it on Instagram, Google Maps, in an email, on a printed card — it never goes dark.
Accessible by default
Live text instead of an image, WCAG-grade contrast, semantic headings, and translations one tap away on iOS and Android.
QR card sizes for every surface
Table tents, window decals, takeout slips, and hotel-room cards — exported as print-ready PDFs at the right size.
Mobile-first menu
Designed for thumb scrolls and quick decisions.
A clean single-column flow, 16px-plus type, sticky section anchors, and instant render. The menu opens like a page, not a download.
Every detail — fonts, spacing, contrast — is tuned for one job: a guest scanning the menu under candlelight.
Branded QR card
A code worth printing on the table.
Pick a card layout, color-match the QR pattern, drop in your logo, and add a short call-to-action. Export as a print-ready PDF.
Sizes for table tents, window decals, takeout slips, and hotel rooms — all aligned to your brand system.
Always live
Iterate as long as you want. Publish once. We host it forever.
Drafting and editing are unlimited and free. Sit with the AI design partner until the menu is exactly right — then publish. The hosted link, the QR card, and the PDF are rendered together at that moment and frozen as a permanent edition.
That edition stays live on its own URL forever. The QR card you print today still works in five years. For the next season, design a new edition with the agent and publish that — the previous one stays archived alongside it.
Common questions
What happens if I want to change a menu after I've published it?
A published menu is immutable by design — that's what makes the QR you printed today still work in five years. To make changes, fork the menu into a new draft, design the next edition with the AI design partner, and publish that as a separate edition with its own QR card. The original edition stays always live on its URL, so anything you've already printed keeps working.
Can I customize the look of the QR code?
Yes. Tune colors to match your brand, add a logo to the center, and pick from card layouts designed for tables, windows, and takeout. The pattern stays scannable across all options.
How fast does the menu load on a phone?
Most published menus first-paint in under 1 second on 4G. Carte serves them as static, lightweight files — no heavy framework, no slow images.
Do guests need to install an app to view the menu?
Never. The menu opens in the phone's browser the moment they scan. Works on iOS, Android, and any modern phone camera app.
Can I track how often guests scan?
Yes. Each published menu reports anonymous scan counts and active sessions in your dashboard, so you can see which menus and which tables get used most.
