IQ Rest introduces the AI Menu Scanner — the fastest way to create a digital QR menu for your restaurant. Simply take a photo of your existing paper menu, and our AI technology extracts all dishes with names, descriptions, and prices. It even generates a professional background image for your restaurant website. What used to take hours of manual data entry now takes just minutes.

How the AI Menu Scanner Creates Your Digital QR Menu
The process is simple: open IQ Rest, tap the scanner on the homepage, and take a photo of your paper menu. Our AI analyzes the image, recognizes dish names, descriptions, and prices, and automatically creates categories with all items. The scanner supports menus in any language and handles various formats — from simple printed menus to handwritten chalkboards. Within minutes, your complete digital QR menu is ready to customize and publish.
AI-Generated Backgrounds for Your Restaurant Website
Along with extracting menu items, the AI Scanner generates a professional background image for your restaurant website. Based on your restaurant type and cuisine, it creates a visually appealing hero image that sets the right atmosphere. Combined with AI image optimization that automatically enhances and compresses dish photos, your digital QR menu looks professional from day one — no graphic designer needed.
From Paper Menu to Digital QR Menu in Minutes
The AI Menu Scanner transforms the onboarding experience for new restaurants. Instead of manually typing every dish, simply photograph your existing menu. The scanner handles the tedious data entry while you focus on customizing colors, adding translations, and sharing your QR code.
