Best QR Code Menu Generators Compared (2026)
A QR code menu is table stakes for Irish venues in 2026 — but the "free" generators vary wildly. Some give you a dynamic code that stops working when a trial ends; others bundle ordering that takes a cut of every order. We compared the QR code menu generators restaurants in Ireland actually use — on free tier, menu hosting, ordering and fees — so you can pick the right one without reprinting your table tents.

Storekit and Square are genuinely free for a QR menu (card fees apply on orders), and MENU TIGER adds scan-to-order with no commission on a limited free tier. Dinehere's edge is a free menu hosted permanently (the printed code never expires), built from your photos or PDF in minutes, with a path to a full website on your own domain — and never a commission on orders.
