AR menus for Canary Wharf restaurants and lunch spots
For weekday lunch rushes, client dinners and corporate events: see the dish, order faster.
Quick answer
Canary Wharf runs on weekday lunch, client dinners and corporate events. An AR menu from VR Express lets office workers preview dishes at real size from a QR code in the queue or on the table, and lets event planners see set menus before they book, all with no app. We scan your dishes in your kitchen, check every model and go live in about two weeks.
The lunch rush
At lunch, every second at the counter counts. A QR code in the queue that shows each bowl or box at its real size helps people decide before they reach the till.
Client dinners and corporate events
- Set menus for group bookings, viewable course by course before the booker confirms.
- Corporate catering: show platters and canapés in 3D in the proposal.
- Bars: signature serves for after-work crowds.
Works on any phone
There is no app to install on a work phone. iPhone opens the dish in AR Quick Look and Android in Scene Viewer, and phones without AR show an interactive 3D model.
How it works
- Onboarding call and capture kit: guide, matte mat, turntable and your own upload code.
- Dishes are scanned freshly plated in quiet hours, by your team with the kit or by us on site in London.
- Every model gets a quality pass by our 3D team (holes, glare, scale, file size), with a retake note within a day if a capture can't be saved.
- Your menu page goes live with sections, prices and allergens, plus a print-ready QR code per dish. A typical menu takes about two weeks.

Frequently asked questions
Is it useful for corporate catering?
Yes. Platters, canapés and set menus can each have a 3D link, so a planner sees what they are ordering before they book.
Will it slow down lunch service?
No. Guests view it on their own phone while they queue; nothing changes at the till.
Do you scan on site at Canary Wharf?
Yes, London is where we do in-person captures. Your team can also scan with the kit.
