In short: Restaurants, cafés and summer kiosks in Zurich can use menuQR to turn their existing PDF menu – with prices in Swiss francs and the meat-origin details Swiss rules require – into a QR code menu that guests open in their browser without an app. It's especially handy for multilingual guests, changing lunch menus and seasonal venues by the lake. menuQR is an online service from Germany, billed in euros.
Where a QR code menu helps Zurich venues most
German, English, French – and more
Zurich brings together Swiss Germans, guests from the French- and Italian-speaking regions, international professionals and tourists. The Professional plan lets you offer up to three menus, for example German, English and French. Upload each language as a separate, reviewed PDF (multilingual menu).
Lunch for the business crowd
Around Paradeplatz, Zurich West and Oerlikon, the weekday lunch is the most important service for many venues. Upload the day's or week's lunch menu in the morning – guests see it the moment they scan.
Badi kiosks and summer venues
Zurich's lake and river baths – the „Badi“ – often have kiosks or restaurants that only open in summer. A QR code on the counter or tables shows menu and prices; off-season, swap in a short PDF with your reopening date (seasonal business).
Meat origin and francs in your PDF
Swiss restaurants must state the country of origin of meat in writing, and prices are shown in francs including VAT. Both simply belong in your PDF – menuQR displays them exactly as designed, and you update them without reprinting when suppliers or prices change.

What applies to digital menus in Switzerland
- Allergens: Under the Swiss Food Information Ordinance (LIV), allergens must be declared for food served unpackaged. Verbal information is allowed if there's a written notice that staff can provide it.
- Meat origin: Restaurants must state the country of origin of meat in writing – easiest directly on the menu or in a footnote.
- Prices: Under the Price Disclosure Ordinance (PBV), prices are shown in Swiss francs including VAT. These belong in your PDF; the menuQR subscription itself is billed in euros.
