Eazmenu
Multilingual QR code digital menu, with instant menu updates without reprinting.
A QR code menu with no ordering or payment is one of the simplest cases on the list: a web page linked to a QR code, with the menu in a file. As the offer is free, the saving is nil: a custom build is worth it for control and design. A QR code menu has content obligations: prices including VAT and service, information on the 14 allergens (decree 2015-447), origin of meats. The order of 27 March 1987 also requires prices to be displayed so they are visible from outside: a QR code does not replace it, so keep a printed menu on display.
What you lose
- Automatic translation of the menu into several languages.
- The visual editor to change the menu without a file.
- The QR code and its access statistics.
- Hosting and updates with nothing to manage.
- The vendor's assistance.

The prompt to build it yourself
Build me a multilingual digital menu accessible by QR code, for my restaurant in France. Stack: static site Astro (or Next.js), no database; the menu is described in a YAML file. Free or almost free hosting. To do: - A carte.yaml file describes the categories, dishes and drinks (name, description, price incl. VAT, allergens from the 14 official ones, meat origin if it is a meat dish). - Public page, mobile first, ultra fast, with one QR code per venue (QR generation as PNG and SVG, with margin for printing). - Prices are always shown incl. VAT and service. Each dish lists its allergens with readable pictograms, and a general notice explains how to get the detailed information. - Meat dishes state the origin (“origin: France” or “born and raised: …, slaughtered: …”). A “homemade” field can only be used if the dish meets the conditions of the label: include a warning in the file. - Instant update: I edit the file, push, and the menu is up to date within a minute. A sold-out dish is switched off with one line. - English and French versions of the menu: each dish has a field per language, and a language selector at the top of the page (translation is done by me, not automatically). - No telemetry, no third-party tracker, so no cookie banner to manage. Out of scope: order taking, payment, customer accounts. README: how to edit the menu, generate and print the QR code, deploy. State that the QR code does not replace the display of prices outside the venue, which the order of 27 March 1987 requires, and that a printed menu must stay on display as well.
