Digital menu with QR code: why your restaurant needs one
A digital menu with a QR code isn't just for showing dishes: done well, it gets people to order more. Here are the advantages and how to create one in minutes.
QR code menu: from the table to the order, with nothing to download
A QR code on the table is common now. What matters is what's behind it: a PDF to zoom in on, or a menu you can actually order from.
- No commission per order
- No download for customers
The problem
The QR code that opens an unreadable PDF
Many QR codes open a scan of the paper menu: the customer zooms in, zooms out, can't find the prices and ends up asking a server. Might as well have given them the printed menu.
How you solve it
With your own online storefront
- A menu built for the phone, with categories and photos
- You can order right from the menu: takeaway, delivery or table
- You update it whenever you like, the QR code stays the same
- No download for the customer
A concrete example
One QR code, three places
The same code on the table, in the window and on the takeaway box. Whoever walks past in the evening looks at the menu; whoever's already eaten reuses it to order at home.
