Edit Your QR Menu by Talking to Claude

Connect Claude to your QRbox account and turn a photo of your paper menu into a QR menu, change prices, add photos or translate the menu by asking in plain language.

· 5 min read

QRbox now has a connector for Claude, Anthropic's AI assistant. Once you connect your account, you can ask Claude to work on your menu the way you would ask a colleague: "here is a photo of our menu, put it online", "raise every coffee by 5 lira", "translate the desserts into English". Claude makes the change in QRbox, and it is live behind your QR code right away.

Connect QRbox to Claude

You need a QRbox account with at least one menu, and a Claude account. Any Claude plan works; the free plan allows one custom connector.

  1. In Claude, open Customize > Connectors and click Add custom connector.

  2. Enter this address as the server URL and click Add:

    https://qrbox.menu/api/mcp
    
  3. Click Connect. Claude sends you to QRbox. Sign in if you are asked to, check what Claude will be able to do, and press Allow access.

  4. Back in Claude, start a new chat. If the connector is not already on, click +, choose Connectors and turn QRbox on.

That is all. Try it with "List my QRbox menus".

What you can ask

  • Attach a photo of your printed menu: "Add everything on this menu to my QR menu."
  • "Show me the menu of my cafe."
  • "Add a category called Breakfast, and add menemen for 180 and a cheese toast for 140."
  • "Raise all prices in Hot Drinks by 10% and round them to the nearest 5."
  • "Mark the lentil soup as sold out." And later: "The lentil soup is back."
  • "Hide the Summer Specials category."
  • "Translate every item that has no English name into English."
  • "Write a short description for each dessert."
  • "Add calories and allergens to the burgers."
  • "Add a photo to every item that has none."
  • "Latte comes in small for 90 and large for 110."
  • "Move the soups to the top, and move the baklava to Desserts."
  • "Add German to the menu and translate everything."
  • "We are closed on Mondays now, and the Wi-Fi password is guest2026."
  • "How many people opened the menu this week compared with last week?"

What Claude can do in your account

Claude can Details
Read your menus Categories, items, descriptions, prices, price options, badges, calories, allergens and ingredients
Read your settings and visits The menu's settings, and how often guests opened it per day
Add Categories and items, one at a time or a whole menu at once
Change Names, descriptions, prices, price options such as small and large, the hot / vegan / new badges, visibility, sold-out status, calories, allergens and ingredients
Change many prices at once Up to 500 items in one step; either all are saved or none
Add photos From the QRbox photo library, for items and category covers
Reorder The order of categories and items, and moving an item to another category
Change settings Name, currency, contact details, Wi-Fi password, working hours, layout and color theme
Change languages Add or remove a menu language and choose the main one
Delete Categories and items

Some things stay in the QRbox editor: uploading your own photos, the logo and background, the menu's custom address, and creating or deleting a whole menu.

Claude cannot see your password or your payment details, and it cannot change your subscription.

Good to know

  • Changes are live immediately. There is no draft. What Claude changes is what your guests see the next time they open the menu.
  • Claude asks before it changes or deletes. Reading your menu happens without a prompt. Before a change to something that is already on the menu, Claude shows you what it is about to do and waits for your approval.
  • Deleting cannot be undone. If you only want something off the menu for a while, ask Claude to hide it or mark it sold out.
  • Check prices after a bulk change. Ask "show me the new prices" and read them once, as you would after editing them by hand.
  • From a paper menu. Attach a photo of your printed menu and ask Claude to add it. Claude reads the photo itself, so check the prices against the paper once it is done. Items that are already on your menu are left as they are.
  • Photos. Claude can only use photos from the QRbox library; it cannot upload a photo you send it in the chat. When the library has no photo of a dish, the item is left without one. If Claude replaces a photo you uploaded yourself, your photo is deleted.
  • Menu languages. Claude can add a language to your menu and translate into it. A language you remove is no longer shown to guests; its texts are kept in case you add it back.
  • Trial and subscription. A menu can be edited through Claude while its trial or subscription is active, the same as in the editor. After that Claude can still read it.

Disconnect

In Claude, go to Customize > Connectors, select QRbox and click Remove. Claude then stops using your account.

To end the connection from the QRbox side as well, open Account in QRbox. Under Connected apps you see every app that has access, when it was connected and when it was last active. Click Disconnect next to Claude and its access ends at once. Changing your QRbox password also disconnects every connected app.

Privacy

When you ask Claude something about your menu, QRbox sends Claude what is needed to answer: the menu content listed above, the menu's settings (such as your address, phone number and Wi-Fi password) when the question is about them, and the number of times the menu was opened when you ask for visits. Claude handles that under Anthropic's own terms and privacy policy. QRbox does not send Claude your password or your payment details, and the visit numbers are counts only: nothing that identifies a guest. Our privacy policy has the details.

Help

If connecting fails or something does not work as described here, write to [email protected] or use the chat on qrbox.menu. Tell us what you asked Claude and what happened, and we will look into it.
