QR Code Menus That Switch Automatically for Restaurants
QRLooper lets restaurants print one QR code that automatically serves the right menu at the right time. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and happy hour each get their own destination, and the code transitions between them on the schedule you set.
No reprinting. No manual URL changes. No staff intervention at service time. The code handles every transition based on the time windows you configure once.
The restaurant menu problem QRLooper solves
Restaurants with multiple service periods face a recurring challenge. A single printed menu cannot serve breakfast and dinner guests at the same time. Digital menus accessed via QR code solve the printing problem, but they introduce a new one: someone has to remember to update the QR code destination when service periods change.
At a busy lunch rush or the start of a dinner service, updating a QR redirect is the last thing on anyone's mind. If the update is missed, guests scanning your code at 7pm might be looking at a breakfast menu. That creates confusion and reflects poorly on the experience.
QRLooper eliminates this problem by scheduling all transitions in advance. You configure your breakfast, lunch, dinner, and happy hour windows once, and the code switches automatically every day. The only time you need to update anything is if your business hours change or if you want to add a seasonal menu.
How to set up a restaurant QR menu
Create a restaurant experience
Select the restaurant or menu use case in QRLooper. Name your experience and choose your service periods.
Set destination URLs for each period
Enter the web address for your breakfast, lunch, dinner, and happy hour menus. These can be any URLs, including PDF menus, your existing website menu pages, or online ordering links.
Configure time windows
Set the start and end time for each service period. For example: breakfast from 7am to 11am, lunch from 11am to 3pm, dinner from 3pm to 10pm, with happy hour running from 5pm to 7pm overlapping dinner.
Download and print your QR code
Download the QR code image and print it on table cards, menu inserts, window signage, or anywhere guests will see it. The same code works for every service period forever.

Real-world restaurant scenarios
Brunch and dinner service
A restaurant serving both brunch and dinner can set the brunch menu to display until 3pm and the dinner menu to activate from 3pm onward. The transition is invisible to guests and requires zero staff effort.
Happy hour promotion
A bar can configure a happy hour specials page to appear from 5pm to 7pm daily. Guests scanning the code during that window see the promotion automatically. Before and after, they see the standard menu.
Weekend specials
A cafe can point its QR code to a weekend brunch specials page on Saturdays and Sundays while showing the standard menu on weekdays. One code handles both schedules.
