QR menus in Yerevan: what a restaurant should know before starting

Guests in Yerevan speak different languages, and menus change often. A QR menu solves both, if it's done right. Here is what's worth knowing before you start.

Languages: Armenian, Russian, English

A good QR menu opens in the language of the guest's phone, and the guest can switch it with one tap. A person should check the translation, especially dish names: “Khorovats” shouldn't turn into a meaningless word.

Internet

The menu opens over mobile data too, but Wi-Fi helps. It's handy when the Wi-Fi name and password are shown right in the menu, so guests don't have to ask the waiter.

Do you still need a paper menu?

Keep a few paper menus for people who prefer paper or don't have a phone with them. But the QR menu can be the main one: changing a price needs no reprinting, and a sold-out dish is hidden with one tap.

Menu only, or ordering too

• Menu only: the guest browses, the waiter takes the order as usual. A good start.
• Ordering from the table: the guest orders from their phone and the order arrives on the staff screen. It helps at busy times and when you're short of waiters.

You can start with the menu only and turn on ordering when your staff are ready.

Where to put the QR code

On every table, on a stable stand so it doesn't fall over or get wet. The QR code should be tied to the table number, so each order shows which table it came from. More in our post on placing QR codes.

With photos, guests choose faster. You don't need a professional photographer: see how to photograph dishes with a phone.
