Café QR Menu Template — What to Include and How to Structure It

Mar 8, 2026 · 4 min read

A café digital menu has different structural requirements from a restaurant menu. Cafés have more options, more customisation, faster turnover, and guests who often know exactly what they want before they sit down.

The café QR menu structure that works

Each beverage item should have: name, base description (2–3 lines), customisation variants (size, milk type, temperature, sweetness level), and price in AED.

How to price variants in MenuGPT

Each item can have unlimited variants with individual AED prices. For a specialty coffee: Small (AED 18) · Regular (AED 22) · Large (AED 26). For milk type: Dairy (standard) · Oat +AED 5 · Almond +AED 4. These are separate variant lines in MenuGPT, each visible to the guest.

What to add to make it feel local

AI recommendation example for cafés

When a guest browses the pastry section at 9am, MenuGPT's AI surfaces a coffee pairing. When a guest browses specialty coffee at 1pm, the AI recommends a sandwich. When a group of 3 asks the AI for suggestions, it returns three named combos: Morning Meeting Set, Light Lunch, Full Café Experience — each with quantities and total price.
