✕ PDF menus
Nobody wants to pinch and zoom through your PDF.
Guests on a phone give up, guess, or wave for a paper copy. Every confusing tap costs you an order.
A menu made for thumbs: big type, photos, and categories that are one tap away.

Your menu, finally as good as your food.
Dishfolio turns the menu you already have into a fast, beautiful QR menu. Guests read it in their own language, and you change prices in seconds. No reprinting and no developer.

Why restaurants switch
Your menu is your best salesperson. Is it doing its job?
✕ Reprinting
Your prices change. Your printed menu doesn’t.
New supplier prices, a sold-out special, a seasonal dish. Reprinting is slow and expensive, so menus go stale.
Change it on your phone and every QR code shows the update instantly.
✕ Language barriers
Half your guests can’t read your menu.
Tourists and international guests skip what they don’t understand, and your staff spend the evening translating.
Guests switch to their language in one tap. Allergen info stays accurate.
How it works
From PDF to QR code before dinner service
Don’t retype a single dish. Bring the menu you already have and Dishfolio does the heavy lifting.

Everything in one place
More than a pretty QR menu
Dishfolio handles the work that usually takes an agency, a translator and a pile of spreadsheets.
Import
Bring the menu you have. Skip the typing.
Paste your website address or upload your PDF, even a photo-scan. Dishfolio extracts categories, dishes, prices and sizes, and matches your colors and fonts so the new menu still feels like you.
- Works with websites, text PDFs and scanned menus
- Every unclear price or allergen is flagged for review
- Imported into a draft, so nothing is live until you publish
Visual editor
Design it like a pro. No designer needed.
Drag in a chef’s pick, a photo gallery, opening hours or a map. Change colors and fonts, then preview on phone, tablet and desktop. Undo anything, and roll back to any published version.
- 28 building blocks, from galleries to promos
- Six themes you can fully customize
- Autosave with version history and one-click rollback
Translations
Speak every guest’s language.

- Guests see their language automatically
- Missing translations fall back gracefully

FAQ
Questions, answered
Do my guests need to download an app?
No. Guests scan the QR code with their phone camera and the menu opens in the browser. It loads fast even on weak Wi-Fi, and keeps working if the connection drops.
How long does it take to set up?
Most restaurants go live in 10 to 20 minutes. Import your existing website or PDF (Pro), review the few items we flag, pick a theme and publish. Starting from scratch takes a little longer for long menus.
Can I import a scanned or photographed menu?
Yes. Text PDFs are read directly, and scanned pages are read by an AI vision model. Before using credits on scanned pages we show you the cost and ask for approval. Anything we’re unsure about is flagged for review.
Will AI make up ingredients or allergens?
Never. Dishfolio doesn’t infer allergens or dietary claims. Allergen notes found in your menu are kept for you to confirm, and translations of claims like “vegan” or “contains nuts” are always marked for a human review.
What happens to my QR codes if I change the menu?
Nothing. Your QR codes always point to the latest published version, so you can update prices, dishes or the whole design without reprinting.
What if I cancel or downgrade?
Nothing is deleted. Menus above your new plan’s limit stay online in read-only mode, and upgrading again unlocks them instantly.
Do you track my guests?
No cookies, no advertising trackers and no personal data. Analytics use anonymous, daily-rotating identifiers, and we honor Do-Not-Track and Global Privacy Control.
Can guests pay through Dishfolio?
Not yet. Table ordering sends the order to your team, and guests pay at the table or counter as usual.
