Make Your Own Digital Menu with a QR Code for Your Bonaire Restaurant, in One Hour

Why a digital menu makes sense in Bonaire

A digital menu is a simple web page with your dishes and prices. Guests scan a QR code on the table with their phone and the menu opens. You don't need an app or a website builder subscription. All you need is one page and one link.

In Bonaire this helps for a few reasons. Your guests speak many languages. On Bonaire, four languages are spoken: Papiamentu, Dutch, English and Spanish. And most restaurants deal with international guests every day. With a digital menu you can offer each language without printing a thick booklet. You can also change a price or mark a dish as sold out in a minute, without reprinting anything.

What you need before you start

Step by step: from paper menu to QR code

  1. Photograph your menu. Lay it flat in good daylight and take a sharp photo of each page. Don't use flash, because it causes glare.
  2. Turn the photo into text. Write out your dishes in a simple list, or let an AI tool read the photo for you. Check every price afterwards. Machines sometimes read a 6 as an 8.
  3. Sort into sections. Keep it simple: Starters, Mains, Local dishes, Desserts, Drinks. Guests scroll on a small screen, so short sections work best.
  4. Write short descriptions. One line per dish is enough. For a local dish, explain it briefly for visitors. For example: Kabritu stobá: slow-cooked goat stew, served with funchi. Kabritu stobá is part of what makes Bonaire Bonaire, and many visitors will want to try it once they know what it is.
  5. Add allergy notes. Use short labels after each dish, such as "contains: shellfish, gluten". Add a line at the bottom: "Allergies? Please tell your server." Keep these notes up to date when a recipe changes.
  6. Add languages. Put a small language switch at the top, for example English, Nederlands, Papiamentu and Español. Start with one language and add the others when the first one is finished.
  7. Put the page online. Your menu page needs a web address (a link) that works on every phone.
  8. Make the QR code. Paste your link into a QR code generator. Many of them are free. Download the image and test it with two or three different phones before you print.
  9. Print and place it. Print the code at least 3 by 3 cm, with a short line underneath: "Scan for our menu". Laminate it or put it in a stand, because sun, wind and spilled drinks are normal on a terrace.
