QR Menu Solutions for Cafés, Bistros and Restaurants

Tafsilotlar

A café menu is no longer just a price list; it is a regulated document. Under the Turkish Food Codex, the menu must show the allergens each item contains (from the list of 14 main allergens), any alcohol or pork-derived ingredients, and the total energy value of one portion (kcal). Allergen, alcohol and pork information must be emphasised with a different type size, a different type style or a contrasting background. Ingredient and calorie disclosure become mandatory on staged transition dates that depend on the type of venue; the latest date for calories is 31.12.2027.

The Price Labelling Regulation, for its part, requires the price list at the entrance door and on the table. It forbids extra charges under names such as service, table or cover, and calculates the fine by the number of missing or incorrect items. Keeping track by hand of which item lacks which piece of information is hard; a gap may only come to light during an inspection.

We did not leave the rules to the venue’s attention; we tied them to code. "Contains no allergens" and "not entered yet" are different states; an item with no data does not look clean to the customer, it says "ask the staff". The panel keeps a compliance score per menu: "12 items missing calories — fix". It also works out the deadlines that apply to the venue’s type. Allergen, alcohol and pork emphasis is identical in every theme; no design setting can switch it off.

The print studio fits the menu to the page across ten templates; the entrance price list and table price card formats are there too. The QR legal notice cannot be removed from table stand and sticker templates. If an item’s text contains a phrase implying an extra charge, such as "service charge" or "cover", the panel warns; when a price changes it says "your printed lists are out of date".

Customers never register and are not tracked by cookies, so there is no cookie banner. The menu opens in the browser’s language and offers an allergen-exclusion filter. From the table QR, guests call a waiter, ask for the bill or place an order. The table link is signed, so nobody can guess a table number and place a fake order. Branch-level prices and stock, plus waiter, kitchen and branch-manager roles, sit in the same panel. The platform is being prepared for launch.
