Jongno-gu, Free Creation of Multilingual QR Code Menus for Restaurants

Jongno 3·4·5-ga Recruiting 60 Individual Businesses by the 19th of This Month

Jongno-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Jeong Munheon) will provide free multilingual QR code menus to revitalize the tourism special zone and offer convenience to foreign tourists.

The district is accepting applications for the "Multilingual QR Code Food Menu Production Support Project" until the 19th of this month. The "Multilingual QR Code Food Menu" automatically translates the menu of the restaurant into English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), Thai, and Vietnamese simply by scanning, without the need to install a separate mobile application. It also includes explanations of dishes that may be unfamiliar to foreigners, resolving various inconveniences related to ordering.

The district is promoting this project targeting small-scale businesses with low recognition to address the concentration of tourists mainly in major traditional markets and to revitalize the Cheonggye Tourism Special Zone area.

The eligible applicants are individual business owners operating general restaurants or snack bars registered in Jongno 3, 4, and 5-ga. A total of 60 places will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to establishments participating in food culture improvement projects such as model restaurants or safe restaurants.

Applications can be submitted by downloading the form from the district office website, filling it out, and sending it along with a business registration certificate to the person in charge via email by 6 p.m. on the 19th of this month.

The entire cost will be covered by Jongno-gu, and the district will also conduct on-site surveys to collect information for menu production, reducing the time and financial burden on business owners. The QR codes will be provided as door stickers or small stickers for convenient use in stores.
