Build my campaign →Idea 1
Put the menu on the table, not in a plastic sleeve
A menu QR code on a simple table sign replaces reprinting every time a price changes. Print once; update the page the code points to. Our generator makes codes that never expire — no subscription holding your menu hostage.
Idea 2
Make slow nights busy with a one-line offer
"Tuesday: two mains, one price." A short offer, a QR code to your menu, a flyer in the window and one social post. That's a whole campaign — and Profit drafts every piece from a single sentence.
Idea 3
Stop reading Wi-Fi passwords aloud
It's the most-asked question in any dining room. A Wi-Fi QR code on the wall joins the network on scan. It takes two minutes to make and saves your staff hundreds.
Idea 4
Collect reviews while the plate is empty
A table sign that says "Pleased? Scan and tell Google" — with a QR code straight to your review page — turns happy full tables into five-star ratings. The best time to ask is while they're still sitting there.
Idea 5
Own your Google Business Profile
A weekly post with a photo and a one-line offer is the cheapest visibility a restaurant can buy — it's free. Pair it with the email and social drafts Profit writes for the same promotion, so one effort shows up in three places.
Idea 6
Print once, correctly
The difference between a code that scans and one that doesn't is size and contrast. Use the print-size calculator before any print run — it's the fifteen seconds that saves reprinting five hundred table tents.
One sentence, whole campaign
Tell Profit what you're promoting this week
“Two mains for the price of one, Tuesday nights through November.” That's all Profit needs to draft the video script, social captions, table-sign QR, a print-ready flyer and the email — all carrying the same offer.
Start my restaurant campaign →Common questions
What is the best free marketing for a restaurant?
The assets you already have working together: a Google Business Profile kept fresh, a menu QR code on the tables, a Wi-Fi code on the wall, and one offer promoted in the window and online. All of it is free to make — Profit's tools generate the codes, flyers and campaign drafts in your browser, no signup.
How do I make a QR code for my restaurant menu?
Use our free restaurant menu QR generator: paste your menu's web address, style the code with your logo, and download a print-ready PNG or SVG. The code is permanent — there's no subscription and it won't expire if you stop paying.
How much should a small restaurant spend on marketing?
Before spending anything, use the free assets: Google Business Profile posts, table and window QR codes, a simple offer campaign, and email or social posts to your existing customers. Paid ads make sense once the free surfaces are all working — most restaurants underuse them for years.
Does Profit cost anything?
No. Every tool on this page is free, with no account. The campaign builder drafts your assets in the browser. If you're promoting a specific offer, describe it once and Profit drafts the whole set.
