Why Bars & Pubs Use Digital QR Code Menus
A digital drinks menu built for the fast, low-light world of bars and nightlife.
Perfect for Dark Environments
Customers can’t read a paper menu in dim bar lighting. A phone screen is its own light source. Your QR code menu is always readable — no squinting, no asking the bartender.
Rotating Tap Lists, Instantly Updated
New keg tapped? Seasonal brew just arrived? Update your digital menu in seconds. Customers always see what’s actually available — no more ordering something that’s already kicked.
Happy Hour Automation
Create a separate happy hour menu or add a ‘Happy Hour Specials’ section to your main menu. Activate it during happy hour, deactivate after. Or keep it visible all the time to drive off-peak traffic.
Cocktail Menus with Photos & Descriptions
Craft cocktails deserve more than a name and a price. Add photos, ingredients, flavor profiles, and even the story behind each drink. A visual menu sells premium cocktails.
Reduce Wait Times
When customers can browse the full menu from their phone before flagging the bartender, they order faster and more confidently. Less back-and-forth, more drinks served per hour.
Event & Live Music Promotion
Add an ‘Events’ section to your menu — tonight’s DJ, upcoming trivia night, live band schedule. Your menu becomes a marketing channel that every customer sees.
How Bars Use MenuHoster
Real scenarios showing how a digital menu fits behind the bar and at every table.
The Craft Cocktail Bar
A couple sits down at your cocktail lounge. In the low lighting, they scan the table QR code. Your menu appears on their phones — gorgeous photos of each signature cocktail with ingredient lists and flavor notes. They each order a $16 cocktail instead of asking ‘what’s good?’ and getting a $9 beer. Your average ticket just went up 40%.
The Sports Pub
It’s game day. The bar is packed. Your QR code is on every table, at the bar, and on the wall by the entrance. Customers scan, order what they want, and flag the server when ready. No menus to hand out, collect, sanitize, or lose. Your team focuses on speed, not menu logistics.
The Rotating Tap Room
You have 24 taps and the lineup changes weekly. Instead of reprinting a paper menu or hand-writing a chalkboard, you update your MenuHoster list from your phone as new kegs are tapped. The QR code on the bar counter always shows the live lineup with ABV, style, and brewery info.
