How Customers Use QR Codes

Today’s smartphones have built-in QR Code readers with the camera, so there’s no special app to install. This creates very simple steps for customers:

  1. Point a phone camera at a QR code and wait for just a few seconds.
  2. A notification will pop up that, when clicked, will send you to a web page.
  3. These web pages can be anything – online menus, social media, ordering forms, and much more.
  4. Enjoy the menu on your phone, then enjoy your meal!


How Restaurants Use Menu QR Codes

QR Codes are a missing link between traditional and digital marketing. They extend the value of any printed piece by taking customers to the web. Most restaurants start with a simple link to a digital menu:

  1. Decide where you want customers to go online. Typically, to a contactless menu.
  2. Generate a QR code. Often, you can do this right in your design program.
  3. Place the code into a piece to be printed as you would any other graphic.
  4. Repeat for as many different marketing pieces as you please. There is no technical limit.
  5. Even put a code linking to your digital menu inside your printed menu. Or a code that links to a daily specials page.
  6. Post your marketing pieces in your windows, doorways, on tabletops, and curbside. Your customers will take advantage of the codes!
