2. Offline Plain Text QR Mode

Menu text appears directly in phone camera app

In Menuly QR Studio, switch to 'Offline Plain Text QR'. This encodes your top categories, dishes, and prices directly inside the QR code pixels. When a customer scans with any smartphone camera (iPhone, Samsung, Xiaomi, Vivo), the camera immediately displays the menu on screen — no web browser, no mobile data, and no recharge needed!

Key Advantages

  • Works with 0 mobile data / no recharge
  • Native phone camera popup
  • Zero dependence on servers
Automatic PWA

3. PWA & Automatic Device Caching

Previously loaded menu stays saved on customer phones

Menuly is built with progressive offline caching. When a customer opens your menu, the dishes and prices are automatically cached to their phone storage. If their mobile data fluctuates or disconnects while eating, they can continue browsing categories and dishes seamlessly.

Key Advantages

  • Zero disruption during network drops
  • Ambient offline mode indicator
  • Saves mobile data for customers
5% Edge-Case Rule

4. Emergency Counter Master Cards

For dead phone batteries & non-smartphone guests

Always keep 2–3 physical laminated master cards at your cash billing counter. This covers guests whose phone battery died during highway travel (switched off phone), elderly guests without smartphones, or customers whose camera lens is broken.

Key Advantages

  • Never lose an order
  • Senior-citizen friendly
  • Laminated cards last years

Pro tips

  • Use square photos with good light — dishes look much tastier.
  • Keep descriptions short: main ingredients + spice level.
  • Turn off the Available switch when a dish runs out — customers see 'Sold out'.
  • Keep the QR dark on a light background for the most reliable scanning.
  • Place one QR card on every table and one at the entrance.
