Abstract - This proposed project uses a digital menu
card, which has many advantages over the conventional
approach, in place of physical menu cards. The user
experience of how modern people order food will be
significantly improved. We have developed a mobile
application that offers users a straightforward user
interface and lots of options when placing food orders. The
clients of the consumer and the management of the
restaurant will each have a unique set of interfaces. Then,
using a straightforward interface, they can quickly browse
the menu and choose the food of their choosing. Unlike
paper menu cards, the restaurant personnel may easily
change the offered dishes. This eliminates confusion and
considerably increases efficiency. Once the food has been
delivered, customers have the option to pay using a mobile
API. They can keep track of payments for and orders for
meals on the restaurant side of things. Both the user's and
the restaurant staff's experiences will be significantly
enhanced by this system. The system contains real-time
updated digital menu cards for every restaurant in the
database. This enables customers to choose meals in
accordance with their preferences and gives users an
overview of the foods that are offered in all eateries. The
application will fundamentally alter the hotel sector.

1. INTRODUCTION
A smart menu card system using QR code is a modern
way of providing menu information to customers in
restaurants, cafes, and other food establishments. The
system works by generating a unique QR code for each
table or customer, which can be scanned using a
smartphone camera. Once scanned, the QR code directs
the customer to a digital menu that can be accessed on
their device. The digital menu typically includes images
and descriptions of the dishes, as well as pricing.
Customers can easily browse the menu and make their
selections without the need for physical menus or
interaction with a waiter or waitress. The hotel sector
will make a significant technological advance with the
completion of this project. This will make using the app
to order food easier and better. The app will have a
fantastic user interface, and ordering food will be quite
simple. This will facilitate speedy payments through the
app's built-in net banking features. Once effectively
implemented, it will save expenses for the restaurants
and draw clients by offering tempting menu prices.
Additionally, the menus will be updated in real-time,
making users aware of any modifications made to the
menu by the staff. The software will transform the
outdated practice of placing orders using paper menu
cards for the benefit of both customers and restaurant
personnel.
1.1 Advantages
1. Contactless ordering: With a smart menu card
system, customers can scan a QR code with their
smartphone and view the menu without
touching a physical menu card or interacting
with a waiter. This eliminates the need for
physical contact and reduces the risk of
transmission of germs.
2. Increased efficiency: A smart menu card system
can make the ordering process more efficient by
allowing customers to place their orders directly
from their smartphones. This can reduce wait
times for customers and improve table turnover
for restaurants.
3. Improved customer experience: A smart menu
card system can provide customers with more
information about the dishes, such as
ingredients. This can help customers make more
informed choices and provide a better overall
dining experience.
4. Easy to update: A smart menu card system is
easy to update, which means that restaurants
can quickly make changes to the menu without
having to reprint physical menus. This can save
time and money for restaurants and ensure that
customers have access to the most up-to-date
menu.
5. Marketing opportunities: A smart menu card
system can provide restaurants with
opportunities to market their dishes and
promotions to customers. For example,
restaurants can include pictures and
descriptions of their specials or offer discounts
to customers who scan the QR code.

2. MOTIVATION
Developing a smart menu card system using QR codes
can benefit both customers and restaurant owners,
providing a convenient and efficient dining experience
while also improving cost-effectiveness and data
insights. The primary objective of our design proposes
that instead of physical menu cards, we can use a digital
menu card that will provide a numerous advantage over
the traditional system. It will greatly improve the user
experience of the way modern people order food. We
propose to build a mobile application that provides
simple UI and great flexibility to users to order their
food.
The objective is to create different set of interfaces for
the consumer’s clients and the restaurant management.
Once the user logs in, he/she is to select the restaurant
they are in. Then they can browse through the menu
easily through a simple interface and select their choice
of dish. The available dishes can be updated easily by the
restaurant staff unlike the paper menu cards. This
greatly improves efficiency and removes confusion. Once
the food is delivered clients can choose to pay through
mobile API.
On the restaurant side of things, they can keep track of
food orders and payments. This system will greatly
improve the experience of both the user and the
restaurant staff. There will also be a common interface
for all the restaurants. The user just has to select the
particular restaurant outlets. To ensure that the app has
the digital menu cards of all the restaurants in the
database which will be updated real time. This allows the
user to get an idea about the dishes available in all
restaurant.
3. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Traditional restaurant menus have been widely used for
a long time, but they can pose several issues such as
contamination, maintenance, and lack of flexibility. With
the current COVID-19 pandemic, the issue of
contamination has become even more significant, with
the need to minimize contact between people and
objects. Therefore, there is a growing demand for a
smart menu card system that can provide a contactless
and efficient solution. One possible solution is to
implement a smart menu card system using QR code
technology. This system can allow customers to access
the menu using their smartphones by scanning the QR
code. It can eliminate the need for physical menus,
reduce contamination risks, and allow for more
flexibility in updating the menu. Competition in the
restaurant business has increased with advances in food
ordering techniques. The traditional food ordering
system is a completely manual process that involves
waiters, pen and paper contain errors in both writing
down orders and making calculations which makes it
difficult to track the sales record. Therefore, the problem
statement is how to design and implement a smart menu
card system using QR code technology that can provide a
cost-effective, reliable, and user-friendly solution for
restaurant owners and customers alike.
4. PROPOSED SYSTEM
Our proposed system uses a digital menu card, which has
many advantages over the conventional approach, in
place of physical menu cards. The user experience of
how modern people order food will be significantly
improved. We propose creating a mobile application that
offers users a straightforward user interface and lots of
options when placing food orders. For the restaurant
management and the consumer's clients, there will be
various sets of interfaces. The user must choose the
restaurant they are currently in after logging in. Then,
using a straightforward interface, they can quickly
browse the menu and choose the food of their choosing.
Unlike paper menu cards, the restaurant personnel may
easily change the offered dishes. This eliminates
confusion and considerably increases efficiency. Once
the food has been delivered, customers have the option
to pay using a mobile API. They can keep tabs on
payments and food orders for the eatery. The system
contains real-time updated digital menu cards for every
restaurant in the database. This enables customers to
choose meals in accordance with their preferences and
gives users an overview of the foods that are offered in
all eateries. The application will fundamentally alter the
hotel sector.
1. Menu Creation: The first step is to create a
digital menu. This can be done by creating a
website or mobile app that displays the menu
items, their descriptions, prices, and images.
This menu should be easily accessible and
editable by the restaurant staff.
2. QR Code Generation: Once the digital menu is
created, QR codes should be generated for each
menu item. These codes can be generated using
a QR code generator tool, which will allow you
to customize the design and information
encoded in the QR code.
3. QR Code Display: Once the QR codes are
generated, they can be printed and displayed at
each table or provided to customers as part of a
take-out or delivery order.
4. Customer Scanning: Customers can then use
their smartphones to scan the QR code at their
table or on their order, which will take them
directly to the digital menu on the restaurant's
website or app.

5. Ordering and Payment: Customers can browse
the menu, select items, customize their orders,
and place their order directly through the digital
menu. They can also pay for their order using a
payment gateway integrated into the website or
app.
6. Order Confirmation: Once the order is placed,
the restaurant staff will receive a notification
and can confirm the order details.
7. Order Preparation and Delivery: The restaurant
staff will then prepare the order and deliver it to
the customer's table or pack it for take-out or
delivery.

The hotel sector will make a significant technological
advance with the completion of this project. This will
make using the app to order food easier and better. The
app will have a fantastic user interface, and ordering
food will be a breeze. This will also make it easier to send
rapid payments using the app's built-in net banking
features. When effectively implemented, it will save
expenses for the restaurants and draw clients by offering
tempting menu prices.
People will greatly benefit from this software because it
allows them to access restaurant menus from anyplace.
Additionally, the menus will be updated in real-time,
making users aware of any modifications made to the
menu by the staff. The software will transform the
outdated practice of placing orders via paper menu cards
for the benefit of both customers and restaurant
personnel.
