Ice Cream Shops
An ice cream QR menu that keeps up with the cabinet
Tubs empty, new batches land, and half the queue is checking for nuts or dairy. ListoQ keeps today’s flavors, sizes and allergens on a page guests read while they are still waiting.
Why it works
Guests choose from what is in the cabinet this hour, so nobody reaches the glass to be told it went at lunch.
The daily reality
The cabinet at four does not look like the cabinet at eleven. Tubs empty, a new batch comes out of the back, a limited flavor lasts a weekend, and the painted board above the counter describes none of it.
ListoQ keeps the flavor list level with the cabinet. Hide what has run out, add what has just gone in, and let the queue read it on their phones with the allergens attached to each flavor.
From the team
“A menu is only useful while it is true. Everything here is built so that the true version is also the easy one to publish.”

Why the product works this way
What makes the difference
From the guest’s first scan to your next update
Three moments decide whether a digital menu is worth having: what the guest sees, how quickly you can change it, and whether one printed code can carry both.
01. Present clearly
Show today’s cabinet, with photos
Gelato, sorbet, soft serve and take-home tubs in sections a guest can scan, each with an image, a price and its allergens.
The cabinet
Hide an empty tub and add the new batch as the display changes through the day.
02. Manage in admin
Change it as the tubs empty
Hide, add and feature flavors from your phone during service, without touching the board above the counter.
Allergens
Mark nuts, milk, gluten and the rest of the 14 EU allergens on each flavor, and flag the vegan ones.
03. Share one access point
One code on the window and the counter
The window sticker, the counter card and your social profile all lead to the flavor list that is true right now.
The queue
Guests read flavors, sizes and toppings from the back of the line rather than at the glass.
After launch
What changes once the menu lives in one place
A flavor list that is actually available
Today’s flavorsGuests choose from what is in the cabinet this hour, so nobody reaches the glass to be told it went at lunch.
Allergy questions answered before the counter
Nut and dairy labelsNuts, milk and gluten are marked on every flavor, so families check for themselves and staff confirm rather than explain.
A queue that moves
Read in the queuePeople arrive at the glass having already decided, which on a hot afternoon is worth more than any other change you can make.
Where it breaks down
What goes wrong when the menu cannot keep up
These all end the same way: a guest reading something that was true last week, and a member of staff apologizing for it.
Problem
The board and the cabinet disagree
A flavor sells out at lunch and the board keeps advertising it until closing, so the answer at the counter is no, over and over again.
Problem
Nuts and dairy come up in every second order
Pistachio, hazelnut, milk, gluten in the cones: guests need the answer before they point at a tub, and staff should not be the only source of it.
Problem
The queue is where the decision happens
People choose while they wait, and a board they can only read at the front turns a busy afternoon into a slow one.
