Start free →Prepare these four things first
Brand details
Restaurant name, logo, phone, email, address and preferred language.
Menu information
Categories, item names, descriptions, prices, photos, calories, variants and add-ons.
Floor plan
A simple list of branches, areas and table numbers.
Service decisions
Who receives orders, whether guests can call a waiter and how the restaurant collects payment.
Create and launch the QR menu in seven steps
- 01
Create the restaurant owner account
Start with the owner account because it controls the company, every branch and user access. Complete the initial company setup before inviting managers, cashiers or kitchen staff.
- 02
Add the company and first branch
Upload the restaurant logo, add the Saudi address and confirm the first branch. Branch information matters because every table, menu, user and order must belong to the correct location.
- 03
Build the menu in Arabic and English
Create categories, then add each item’s Arabic and English name, description, price, photo, calories and availability. Add real variants such as size and useful add-ons such as an extra shot or alternative milk only when the item offers them.
- 04
Create every table
Add the dining areas and tables using names the team already understands, such as Indoor 01, Terrace 05 or Family 12. Dineinto generates a different QR destination for every table.
- 05
Download, print and place the QR codes
Download each table code, place the restaurant name and a short instruction beside it, and print it at a size guests can scan comfortably. Use durable material and keep the code away from glare, folds and table edges.
- 06
Choose the service and payment flow
Starter restaurants collect payment themselves by cash, card terminal or POS and mark the order paid. Pro restaurants can use additional payment workflow controls and connect their own verified Moyasar or Tap account, so guest funds settle directly to the restaurant.
- 07
Test one complete customer order
Scan a real table code on a phone. Switch between Arabic and English, open items, choose variants and add-ons, add notes, place an order, request service and complete the payment status from the restaurant dashboard.
QR TO DASHBOARD
What the finished flow looks like
The guest sees a mobile menu for the correct branch and table. The restaurant receives the order with the same context, updates its status and keeps payment inside its chosen workflow.

Five common QR-menu mistakes
Using a PDF as the whole experience
A PDF is hard to navigate on a phone and cannot carry a live table order through the restaurant workflow.
Sending every scan to the same table
A unique table code removes manual table entry and prevents routing mistakes.
Publishing only one language
Saudi restaurants commonly serve Arabic- and English-speaking guests. Give both groups a complete menu.
Adding choices that do not exist
Do not show a size, side or add-on question unless the restaurant configured it for that item.
Skipping the real-phone test
A code that looks correct on a computer may still be difficult to scan or use at the table.
FREE TO START
Can a Saudi restaurant start for free?
Yes. Dineinto Starter includes the bilingual QR menu, unique table codes, dine-in ordering, menu and staff setup, core reservations and restaurant-collected payment. Upgrade to Pro only when the restaurant needs advanced integrations or its own online payment gateway workflow.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does the customer need an app?
No. The guest scans the table QR code and opens the menu in the mobile browser.
Can I update the menu after printing the QR codes?
Yes. Update names, prices, photos, availability and other item information without replacing the existing table code.
Can each branch have different tables and staff?
Yes. Branches have their own table setup, and users can be assigned only to the branch they should access.
Can I import items instead of entering them one by one?
Yes. Dineinto supports structured menu imports, and Pro restaurants can use Odoo product import and update tools.
