To begin 👉 Create your QR menu now ✨ I built a new mini startup this week I found a new idea while 🛣 road tripping in 🇵🇹 Portugal At lots of restaurants/cafes/bars here in Portugal (and in other places in US/EU) you now need to scan a QR code that's on the table to see the menu This is to avoid 🦠 Corona sticking to the menu and infecting you or the staff I'd think there'd be some service doing this but most of the menus I've scanned are a self-hosted page on the restaurant's site Many suck, are slow to load, slow to scroll on mobile etc. Then I thought: - many venues don't even have sites to host menus on - managers/owners are usually not very tech - there's over 1M+ restaurants/cafes/bars in the world - after Corona these QR menus will probably stay because there's benefits to it like dynamically changing menu So I started looking if it already existed, it did but: - the majority are just random QR code creators, not much dedicated to restaurant/cafe menus - most of the menu builders that do exist are really complicated, convoluted or too technical That there's competition means the market is validated, and that the competition isn't that great means I can make something better and more simple, so a few days ago I started coding.

It's now a stand alone QR menu editor and generator featuring live preview on your phone while you edit. It generates a menu like this:

You can then print the QR codes and stick them on your restaurant/cafe table:

The biggest challenge here is reaching restaurant owners, so I'd love your feedback on that. Maybe I'll just go visit them IRL! Hope you like it :) 🚨 Update: I got the first real world user:

@levelsio Well done! How long did it take you from having the idea until publishing on PH? 1 day?

@levelsio Finding restaurant owners in a scalable way is pretty hard, have tried it in the past with biluy.fun when I wanted to create my own database since the google API wasn't good enough for me. However, since this is a free project I'd actually send this to government authorities and they could share this with restaurant owners as a safety measure against Covid. Perhaps try starting off with @WeRRestaurants on twitter.

@serglotz I started working on it Friday for 2 hours then Sunday to Tuesday for a few hours per day, so I think ~10 hours

@levelsio Congrats on the launch! To reach restaurant owners at scale, why not partner up with an Organisation that has already done that and has all the relevant contacts, i.e. Groupon, for example

@levelsio Hey so this is totally free? Are you planning to monetize this service, and how?

I swear i've had this idea brewing for 2+ years, Covid was very much needed to accelerate the need of this. You're right, there have been a few attempts, but nobody is getting the simplicity right. 🤷🏻‍♂️ From an MPV perspective you've nailed it. 💅 High 5 to you man, I've already shared this to my mates that own restaurants 🙏🏽 $10 bet says your revenue model will be integration to SMS so the patron get's notified when an order is ready and the restaurant gets notified to place the order 💰

@tonnoz My pain point was arriving at restaurants and waiting for waiters to get off their but and take my order, sometimes I just want to sit down and order something. 👌

Great idea! Would be cool to be able to define multiple menus, and give them a time/day that they display. People could then be shown the relevant menu for the time that they scan the QR code 🎉 With that, owners could only show their specials when they're actually available for order.
