What do restaurants put on table tent cards?
Restaurant table tents typically display: daily specials and featured dishes, drink and cocktail promotions, dessert menus, happy hour details, QR codes linking to the full menu, reservation instructions, Wi-Fi passwords, or loyalty program sign-up prompts. Each restaurant chooses what's most profitable to highlight at the table.
How often do restaurants change their table tents?
Many restaurants update table tents weekly or even daily for specials. That's exactly why printable templates are so useful — you can edit, print, and replace cards in minutes without a design agency. Seasonal promotions typically call for new table tents monthly.
How do I add a QR code to my restaurant table tent?
Generate a QR code in any free QR code tool (linking to your online menu, review page, or reservation system), save it as a PNG image, upload it to the image zone on the table tent template, and export the PDF. Print and fold — your guests can scan from the table.
What size restaurant table tents should I print?
The most common restaurant table tent folds to 4"×6" (a half-page landscape). This size fits most table tops without blocking the view. Smaller 4"×3" half-fold cards also work well for compact settings like cafes and food trucks.
How many table tents should I print per table?
One per table for small settings, two for larger round tables or booths, and one at each end of a long banquet table. Specials tents usually go on top of the menu or in the menu pocket; standalone tents go in the center of the table.
