How to make a QR menu for your restaurant or café in Saudi Arabia

Repma's QR menu is a digital food and drink menu a guest opens on their phone after scanning a code on the table, with no app to install. It lives at a fixed link in the form menu.repma.io/your-place. The guest first sees the shop cover, your name and your Google rating, then sections and dishes with photos, prices and calories, in Arabic or English.

The menu is part of Repma, the Saudi platform where Badr replies to Google Maps reviews, sorts complaints and writes your Google Business Profile posts. So there is no separate subscription and no designer: the same connection to Google that runs the replies brings in your menu data. Every edit you save shows for guests right away, so you never reprint the QR code to change a price or add a dish. Try the demo on Repma's QR digital menu page

The menu is built for food and drink locations in Saudi Arabia that have a Google Business Profile:

• Restaurants of every kind, from mandi and grills to burgers and pizza
• Cafés, coffee shops, juice and tea shops
• Bakeries, dessert and ice cream shops
• Food trucks, caterers and buffets

It fits an independent place that wants to drop the paper menu, and it fits chains: one catalog shared by your branches, with its own QR, sold-out state and publishing per branch. Other business types such as salons or car washes do not see the menu page, but Badr still replies to their Google Maps reviews as usual.

1. 1Start the 7-day Repma trial and connect your restaurant or café on Google. It is the same connection Badr uses to reply to reviews.
2. 2Open the menu page and tap From Google. If your profile has a written, priced menu, Badr copies it as a draft. If not, he reads the menu photos on your profile, a photo of the paper menu, or a PDF, or you paste the link to your current menu.
3. 3Check the draft: prices, sizes, photos and sections. A dish without a price stays hidden from guests, and a dish without a photo can take one from your Google profile photos.
4. 4Repma fills the missing language after the import, and Translate stays there for empty fields. Then confirm the calories Badr read from your menu.
5. 5Tap Go live to publish to your menu.repma.io link, then print numbered table stands from the print studio.
6. 6Optional: put the menu link on your Google profile from the profile page in Repma, and pick the menu's cover, colours and font.

If your menu is already written on Google, the draft is ready in minutes. If you start from paper, photo quality decides how well it reads, so shoot each whole page in good light and in menu order.

Most QR menu makers start from a blank page and you type every dish. Repma starts from data you already have, in this order:

1. 1The written menu on your profile (Google foodMenus): if it has at least one price, Badr copies sections, names, prices, and a dish photo when Google attached one.
2. 2Menu photos on Google: if there is no written menu, you pick the menu pages uploaded to your profile (the MENU photo category) and Badr reads them.
3. 3Paper or PDF: photograph the pages with your phone, or upload photos or a PDF. Each page is read on its own, up to 20 pages at a time and up to 80 pages in 24 hours per account.
4. 4The link to your current menu: paste the link your guests open, such as another QR menu, your own site, a link page or a PDF on Google Drive, and Badr reads the dishes from it. Delivery app and social media links do not work, and you may only import a menu that is yours or that you may use.

In every case the result is a draft, not a published menu. Badr reads names, prices and sizes as printed, and reads calories only when they are printed on the menu; he never guesses a number. You check, edit, then publish.

• The shop cover first (your Google cover photo or one you upload), with the name, your logo and Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and X links if you add them, in colours and a font you choose
• A venue strip: open now or closed, Google rating and review count, a call button and directions
• Dishes as photo cards or a compact list without photos, with search and a section bar that stays while scrolling
• If a dish has more than one size, the card shows “from” the lowest price, and each size with its price sits inside the dish sheet
• A dish sheet: photos or video, a sale price with the original crossed out, often ordered with, and a sold-out-today mark
• Calories and allergen icons next to the dish, and Arabic or English in one tap
• A My picks list where the guest collects dishes to show the staff, with an estimated total; it is for showing only, not an order
• A card that invites every guest the same way to review their visit on Google, without filtering out unhappy guests

• Menu link on your profile: where Google offers a menu link field for your business, you put the Repma menu link in it from your profile page in Repma in one tap, and nothing is sent to Google until you save
• A public page: the live menu is a public page Google can index, so it can show up for people searching for your menu. Drafts and paused menus are not indexed
• Dish photos: pick them from your Google profile photos, dish by dish, instead of shooting again
• Reviews after the visit: the review a guest writes from the menu's review card shows on your Google profile, and Badr replies to it in Saudi White Dialect or English

The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) requires restaurants and cafés to show calories on their menus, and caffeine for drinks that contain it. Repma's menu gives you the fields and the statements:

• Calories next to each dish, with the minutes of walking it takes to burn them
• Caffeine in mg for drinks, with the 400 mg daily limit statement for adults
• The salt shaker mark for a meal with more than 5 g of salt
• Eight allergens from the SFDA list: milk, wheat, sesame, egg, soy, tree nuts, peanut, mustard
• The adults need 2,000 calories a day statement at the foot of the menu

Calories Badr reads from your printed menu stay suggestions and are hidden from guests until you confirm them. Repma does not invent calories or issue certificates; the owner is responsible to the SFDA for correct figures.

• Several sizes on one dish (small, medium and large, or per person and per kilo) without duplicating the item
• Fill-empty translation: Translate fills only blank Arabic and English fields, in Fusha and English, keeps existing text, invents no descriptions, and keeps names like kabsa and mandi as they are. After every import the missing language is filled automatically
• A menu score that shows what is missing: prices, photos, calories, caffeine, English names or descriptions
• Sold out today in one tap, and hide a dish or section without deleting it
• One catalog for several branches, with its own QR, sold-out state and publishing per branch
• An editable link; older printed codes keep working

Menu Arabic is clear Fusha that suits a food menu, not the Saudi White Dialect Badr uses in review replies. Guests switch language inside the menu, with no machine translation at scan time.

The print page prepares files for A4 paper, and the printed text is always Arabic and English:

• A6 table stands, four per sheet, with a different code per table
• Round 7 cm stickers, six per sheet
• An A4 poster for the entrance or the counter
• Your logo and its colours, or colours you pick, with the layout, font, QR shape and Wi-Fi details

Numbered tables show you which tables open the menu. Menu visits cover the last 14 days: visits per day, peak time, most viewed dishes, tables, guest language, what guests search for, and how many guests opened Google reviews or asked for directions.

If you only need a paper menu for now, you can design one for free with no sign-up, in the same designs as the print page, and download it as a PDF or an image. Design a printed menu for free

The menu is not a separate product with its own price. It is included in the Repma subscription with Google Maps review replies, complaint management, Google posts and reports:

• 119 SAR per location per month for locations 1 to 3
• 99 SAR per location per month for locations 4 to 9
• 79 SAR per location per month from location 10

The 7-day trial runs on all locations with every feature, and you can cancel anytime. During the trial guests see the full menu. If you cancel, the same link stays up and tells guests the menu is paused, instead of an error page. Without an active subscription you can keep building the menu, but going live for guests needs a subscription, and reading photos and files is limited to 10 pages a day.

Repma's menu is for display at the table: no cart and no payment. Specifically:

• No online ordering, no delivery and no WhatsApp orders
• No online payment and no ZATCA invoice; it is not a cashier or POS
• It does not push the menu to Google Maps automatically in the current release
• It does not create calories or certificates on your behalf

We do not promise extra sales or a higher position on the map. What you get is a clear menu each guest reads in their language, edits that reach guests at once, and Badr's reply to the guest's review after the visit.
