QR Code Menu Plates for Hunter Valley Cellar Doors & Cafés
The short answer: for cellar doors, cafés and restaurants, a laser engraved QR plate on each table lets guests open the menu, wine list or ordering page with one scan. Engraved stainless steel and wipe-clean traffolyte handle spills, sun and daily cleaning far better than printed cards or stickers, and each plate can carry its own table number.
Why engraved, not printed
- Spills and wiping: red wine, coffee and sanitiser go straight over a stainless or traffolyte plate. Paper cards and stickers stain, curl and peel.
- Outdoor tables: verandas and courtyards get full sun. Engraved stainless has no ink to fade.
- On brand: your logo, colours and table numbers, so the plates look like part of the fit-out.
Plates we've made
These round 316 stainless discs carry a logo, a QR code that opens the ordering page, and a table number on each one. They sit flat on the table and wipe clean in seconds.
Getting the QR code right
- Use a link you control, such as your own website's menu page. When the menu or wine list changes, you update the page, not the plates.
- Make the code big enough. A rough rule is a code about a tenth as wide as the scanning distance, so around 30mm for a code read from across a table setting.
- Say what it does. Short wording like "Scan to order" or "Scan for the wine list" gets more scans.
- Keep a quiet zone of blank space around the code so phones can find it.
Stainless or traffolyte?
Stainless steel gives a premium look that suits cellar doors and restaurants, and it's the toughest option outdoors. Reverse engraved traffolyte keeps the surface smooth and easy to wipe, and comes in colours to match your fit-out. See QR code menu plates for both.
QR codes are useful beyond the menu too: bookings, reviews, Wi-Fi, wine club sign-ups and tasting notes. For equipment and back-of-house uses, see asset and QR code tags.
Questions we often get
Can each table have its own number?
Yes. Each plate can carry its own table number next to the QR code.
What if our menu changes?
Point the code at a page you control and the plates keep working. Most menu and ordering systems let you update the menu without changing the link.
Can you match our branding?
Yes. Send your logo and we'll lay out the plate with your colours, then send a proof before we engrave.
