Services · Website development · QR menu websites

Menu websites for UK hospitality brands, built to be scanned, searched and kept current.

Codeeo offers QR menu website development UK restaurant groups, pub estates, hotel brands and caterers can run across every site they trade from. The code on the table opens a fast, readable menu page on your own domain, and the same pages are what Google indexes when someone searches for your venue. One editing system feeds both, so a price change, a new dish or an allergen correction goes live everywhere at once, with the rules of each nation applied to the right sites.

This is the menu as part of your website: content, search visibility, enquiries and compliance. If you also want table ordering or pay at table, the menu pages can hand off to the ordering tool you already use, or we scope that as a separate product.

Built for
Multi-site restaurant groups, pub companies, hotel brands, contract caterers and franchise networks trading across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Typical timeline
Timing is agreed after discovery, once we know how many sites, menus and languages are involved, and written into the plan before design starts.
What you own
The domain, the code, the menu content, the QR code destinations and the analytics accounts, all held in your own name.

What the menu website includes

A menu system that serves the table, the search results and the compliance team.

Most hospitality groups still have a menu problem hiding in plain sight. The printed card, the PDF on the website, the link in the Google Business Profile and the QR code on the table often show four different versions of the same dishes. A national operator multiplies that by dozens of sites and several brands. We build menu websites where every one of those surfaces reads from a single source, with menus stored as structured content rather than designed files. That means a dish exists once, with its description, price, allergens, dietary tags and calorie value, and appears wherever it is sold. It also means site managers can make the local changes they are allowed to make without touching what head office controls. The result is quicker for guests on a phone, easier for search engines to read and much easier to keep accurate when the kitchen changes a recipe on a Tuesday afternoon.

Explain your project
  • Menus as web pages, not PDFs

    Every menu is built as proper HTML: headings for sections, text for dishes, and images that load only when needed. Guests can zoom, use a screen reader or translate the page in their browser, which a scanned PDF never allows. Search engines can read the dishes too, so a search for a specific plate can lead to your page.

    Menus that load quickly on a phone and can be found in search.

  • One dish library across the estate

    Head office maintains a central library of dishes, drinks and set menus. Each site picks what it sells, and local overrides are limited to the fields you choose, such as price or availability. A recipe change updated once flows to every location that carries the dish, with a record of who changed what and when.

    No more dozens of slightly different versions of the same menu.

  • Nation-aware rules per site

    Each site is tagged with its nation, so the website applies the right rules automatically. Calorie figures can be required on English sites operated by larger businesses, while Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish sites follow their own positions. Hygiene rating badges can follow the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme or Scotland's Food Hygiene Information Scheme as appropriate.

    The correct rules shown on the correct sites without manual checks.

  • Allergen and dietary data model

    The fourteen regulated allergens, plus the dietary tags guests filter by, are stored as fields on each dish rather than typed into descriptions. Guests can hide dishes that contain an allergen, and the page explains that staff should still be told about allergies. Your food safety lead approves allergen changes before they publish.

    Allergen information that is consistent, filterable and signed off.

  • Managed QR codes

    QR codes point to short addresses you control, not straight to a page, so a code printed on a table, a window or a room card can be redirected later without reprinting. Codes can carry a site and table reference, which tells the page which menu, language and promotions to show and feeds your reporting.

    Printed codes that never break when the website changes.

  • Location pages and structured data

    Each venue gets its own location page with address, opening times, accessibility notes and menus, marked up with Restaurant and Menu structured data. Those pages become the link target for each Google Business Profile, which helps local search show the right venue for the right street rather than a generic brand page.

    Stronger local search visibility for every site, not only the flagship.

  • Enquiry paths beyond the table

    Menu pages carry routes for the enquiries that bring in bigger spend: group bookings, private hire, Christmas parties, corporate events and set menus for functions. Forms ask the right questions, such as party size, date and dietary needs, and send each enquiry to the right venue or central events team, with a copy in your CRM. Seasonal pages for festive bookings can be switched on across the estate from one place and retired when the season ends.

    Function and group enquiries captured with the details sales staff need.

  • Clear price display

    Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, drip pricing rules are in force, so any charge a guest cannot avoid belongs in the price shown. The menu template supports clear notes on optional service charges, cover charges and how tips are handled, so your legal team decides the wording once and every site displays it the same way.

    Price presentation your legal team has approved, shown consistently.

  • Consent, analytics and accessibility

    Analytics and marketing tags load only after consent, in line with PECR and UK GDPR, with a cookie banner that offers a genuine choice. Templates are built and tested against WCAG 2.2 at AA level, covering colour contrast, text size, focus states and screen reader labels, which supports your duties under the Equality Act.

    A site that respects guest choices and works for disabled guests.

Who this is for

Four kinds of UK operator we build menu websites for.

A single restaurant with one menu can usually manage with a good template. The case for a custom menu website grows with the number of sites, brands, nations and people who edit. These are the starting points we see most often from national operators, and how the build changes for each one. Custom QR menu website development UK groups ask for usually starts from one of these. If none quite matches, the discovery call is where we work out what your estate actually needs.

01

Groups still running on PDF menus

Many established brands have a decent website but menus uploaded as PDFs, one per site, updated by whoever has the design file. We convert those menus into structured content, rebuild the menu sections of the site around it and set up redirects so old PDF links and existing QR codes still land somewhere sensible. Your design language stays; the way menus are produced changes completely.

Old PDF addresses are redirected rather than left to break.

02

Brands trading in more than one nation

An operator with sites in Cardiff, Glasgow, Belfast and Leeds deals with different calorie positions, different hygiene schemes and, in Scotland, a separate legal system. We model those differences in the content system, so the website shows the right labels and badges per site and your compliance team reviews one set of rules rather than four sets of menus.

03

Franchise and licensed networks

Franchisees want control of local pricing and specials; the brand needs control of names, photography, allergen data and tone. We build role-based editing so each franchisee can change only what the agreement allows, with approval queues for anything that touches brand or safety information and a clear history for audits.

Permissions follow your franchise agreement, not a generic template.

04

Operators whose ordering tech is ahead of the website

Some groups already use a capable ordering or EPOS platform but have a website that cannot keep up: slow, hard to edit and invisible in search. We build the content and search layer around your existing systems, pulling menu data from the EPOS where it offers an API, so the website stops being the weakest link.

Six steps to a menu website your whole estate can run on.

  1. 01Estate and menu auditWe map every site, brand, menu, language, QR placement and editor, along with the nations you trade in and the systems that already hold menu data.
  2. 02Content model and permissionsDishes, allergens, calories, prices and set menus defined as fields, with rules for who can change each one at head office, region and site level.
  3. 03Design and accessibilityMobile menu templates, location pages and enquiry forms designed for one-handed reading in dim light and checked against WCAG 2.2 before build.
  4. 04Build and integrationsThe site, the editing system, managed QR redirects, structured data and connections to EPOS, booking tools and CRM, built and reviewed in stages.
  5. 05Migration and launchMenu content loaded, old URLs and PDF links redirected, Google Business Profile links updated and every site checked on real phones before codes go live.
  6. 06Ongoing careSearch performance, scan data and editor feedback reviewed after launch, with seasonal menus, new sites and rule changes handled as they come.

Technology

What we build this with.

We choose the stack around your estate: a headless CMS or WordPress for editing, a fast front end such as Next.js, and APIs into your EPOS, booking and CRM systems. QR menu website design UK guests find easy comes from testing on ordinary phones over mobile data, not only on office Wi-Fi. The aim is a site your own team can run without calling a developer for every menu change.

Questions national operators ask about menu websites.

It depends on the number of sites, menus and systems, and we agree it after discovery.

A brand with one menu across a handful of English sites is a very different job from a group with several brands, three nations and an EPOS integration. During discovery we count the menus, editors and integrations, then write a plan with the launch order. Many groups launch with a pilot set of sites first, check scan behaviour and editing in real service, then roll out the remaining estate in planned waves.
