Let customers open your PDF menu in the browser

Keep the menu you already designed. Give it a clean web page, a public link and a QR code - without sending guests through a download or a third-party PDF app.

The problem

A menu should open - not become a chore

A downloadable PDF can interrupt a simple task. On a phone, the file may leave the restaurant website, open another app or disappear into the Downloads folder. Guests then have to find their way back.

Extra steps

Download, switch apps, dismiss prompts, then return to the website.

Lost context

The guest no longer sees your address, booking link or ordering controls.

Uneven experience

Each device handles PDF downloads differently.

The simpler pattern

Open the document inside a browser viewer and keep the original PDF available for anyone who wants to save it.

InInfo workflow

From PDF file to public menu in three steps

1Create a page

Name it for the restaurant or menu and choose a short public address.

2Add the PDF block

Upload the existing menu and give the block a clear title.

3Share one link

Publish the page, copy its URL or save a QR code for tables and signs.

Mobile experience

The same menu works on a phone

Phone: page-fit view makes the complete menu visible without opening another app.

The viewer adapts to the smaller screen. Guests can see the full page first, then zoom in when they want to read a section or a price more closely.

The public page can also include contacts, maps, booking buttons, forms or an order block around the document - so the menu remains part of a useful website.

One link, many entry points

Turn the public link into a QR menu

Every published page has a public URL. InInfo can generate a QR code for that URL, ready for a table tent, window sticker, printed menu or social post. When the PDF changes, keep the same page address and update the content behind it.

The QR code points to the page - not to a temporary download - so guests arrive in the branded browser experience.
Choose the right format

PDF viewer or full digital menu?

A PDF page is the fastest route when your menu already exists as a polished document. A structured catalog is better when dishes need individual photos, filters, availability or ordering.

Use a PDF page when:

  • the restaurant already has a designed menu;
  • the printed and online versions should look the same;
  • you need a practical replacement for a raw download link;
  • you publish catalogs, price lists or presentations as well as menus.

The demonstration menu uses original generic copy and imagery created for this guide. It does not represent a real restaurant or brand.
