In short: A QR code does not have to be black and square. menuQR ships six templates and lets you set dots, finder patterns, colors, frame, corner radius and frame width individually — in a preview that shows the result immediately. From Enterprise, your logo goes in the middle. Every template is checked against a decoder when it is created, so a pretty but unreadable design never ships.
Six templates as a starting point
The templates are not decoration, they are tested combinations: Standard, Classic, Modern, Rounded dots, Dark and Elegant. The first one matches the default state exactly — if you change nothing, you get Standard. From there, every axis can be changed individually.
What you can set individually
| Area | Effect | Included in |
|---|---|---|
| Dots | shape of the data modules: square, soft or round | all plans |
| Finder | shape of the three corner patterns | all plans |
| Colors | code color and background, matched to your brand | all plans |
| Frame | rounded card around the code, with adjustable width | all plans |
| Corner radius | rounding of frame and code area | all plans |
| Logo | your mark in the center, with a readability check | Enterprise |
Readability before looks
A QR code is a measuring instrument, not a picture. Three things decide whether it works: contrast between modules and background, a clear quiet zone around the code, and a module size the camera can still resolve. menuQR therefore checks templates against a decoder when they are created — not at one size, but at several, because some cameras downsample internally.
The logo follows the same logic: it sits on an area aligned to the module grid, and error correction is set to the highest level. The modules underneath are not drawn. The technical background is in QR code design (glossary).
Does one design apply to all menus?
Yes. The design belongs to the account, not to a single menu, so all table tents in the house look the same. If you change a color later, all QR graphics are regenerated; the printed code stays valid because only the image changes, not the address behind it.
