Most QR menus point at a PDF on somebody else's service. This one points at your own website, which you control and which is free.
The QR menu is one of the few things the last few years left behind that people genuinely use. What has not improved is what sits behind the code: a PDF on a third-party host, often with a subscription, sometimes with somebody else's advertising on it.
A Clay site is a web address, so the QR code is free and it belongs to you. Print it, and it opens a menu that reads properly on a phone, that you edit from behind the bar, and that also happens to be your whole website — hours, map, booking and all.
No app, no download, no cookie banner over the starters. The page is server-rendered HTML with the photographs already sized, so it is readable before a PDF would have finished opening.
And because it is a website rather than a document, they can tap the address for directions or the number to call.
QR menu services charge monthly, and some charge per location or per table. A Clay site is free on your own address; the QR code is a picture of that address, which nobody can charge for.
If you later want the code to point at your own domain rather than a clay.site one, that is the paid plan and the code does not have to change.


Your site's address is the code. Any free generator will make it, and it never expires because the address never changes.

Sold out, a price, a special — changed on your phone and live on the next scan.

The same page carries your Google reviews and a link to leave one, which is the moment somebody is most likely to.
Type your name — Clay pulls your photos, hours, reviews and contact details straight from your Google listing.
Choose a look and Clay builds a full site around your content. Change anything with a tap — no code, no templates to wrestle.
Publish to your own name.clay.site in minutes. Add a custom domain and connect your own tools whenever you're ready.
Open one. It is the live site in a frame, not a screenshot — so what you see is what it looks like right now.
Any free QR generator, pointed at your site's address. There is nothing to buy and nothing to renew — the code is just a picture of a URL.
The code does not change. It points at the page; the page is what you edit.
Yes on a paid plan. Do it before you print if you can, though the clay.site address keeps working either way.
No — it is a web page. Nor does a PDF-based QR menu; both need the guest's phone to be online.
It opens your whole site, so the hours, the map, the reviews and booking are all one tap from the table: the menu itself.
No. The code points at the address, and the address does not change when the content does — including when you move and update the map.
Your site's own analytics count the visits, cookielessly, and you read them from your dashboard. There is no per-code tracking beyond that.
Search your business and see your site in seconds — free, no signup.
