Qatar Digital Menu and QR Code Standards

## Digital Menus in Post-World Cup Qatar The 2022 World Cup accelerated QR menu adoption across Qatar. Many establishments that adopted digital menus for the tournament have kept them permanently. ### Current Standards - Digital menus must meet the same compliance standards as physical menus - Arabic language must be the primary display language - Calorie information requirements apply to digital formats - Menu must be accessible on mobile devices without app downloads ### QR Code Best Practices - Place QR codes at every table and at the entrance - Ensure QR codes link to mobile-optimized menus - Maintain backup paper menus for accessibility - Update QR code destinations when menus change (use dynamic QR codes) ### Data Privacy Considerations - QR menus that collect diner data must comply with Qatar's data protection guidelines - Analytics tracking must be anonymized - No personal data should be required to view a menu ## How Qaima Helps Qaima generates dynamic QR codes that always point to the latest menu version. Arabic-first templates and anonymous analytics ensure compliance with Qatar's digital standards.
