How to Create QR Codes for Different Online Menus

QR ordering allows customers to scan a code and be taken directly to your online store. With a simple setup, you can also control which menu is displayed when they scan a specific QR code. This is useful if you have different menus such as dine-in, takeaway, or delivery, and want customers to land on the correct one straight away.


Why use different QR codes?

Using separate QR codes helps:

  • Direct customers to the right menu instantly

  • Reduce confusion between order types

  • Improve the overall ordering experience

  • Minimise the need for staff assistance


For example, you might have:

  • One QR code on tables for dine-in

  • Another at the counter for takeaway


Before you start

Make sure:

  • Online ordering is active

  • Your menus are already created

  • Multiple order types is disabled


Steps to create menu-specific QR codes

  1. Copy your store link

    Go to Online Ordering > Publishing, then copy your store URL.

  2. Modify the link

    Paste the URL into your browser and add ?menu=MenuName at the end.


Example:

https://ou.abacus.co/en/Store/5115624/?menu=AnggaRestaurant

  1. Check the menu name. Let say we will create this Dine in menu QR.


    Make sure:

  • There are no spaces on the menu name (e.g. “Dine In” becomes DineIn)

  • The capital letters match exactly

  • No symbols are used

  1. Test the link

    Open the updated URL in your browser and confirm it loads the correct menu.

  2. Create the QR code

    Use any QR code generator, paste the updated link, and generate your QR code.


Tips

  • Label each QR code clearly so customers know which menu they are accessing

  • Place QR codes in the right locations (tables, counter, takeaway area)

  • Always test before sharing with customers
