What is QR code menu?

Everyone knows that digitalization is coming to our world very quickly. Did you pay attention to books? Paper books have already lost their popularity, and e-books have come to replace them, now hundreds and thousands books can be placed into a compact small smartphone. Paper books take up a lot of space, they are heavy, quickly become unusable, they have a high cost, a book is often no longer needed after one reading.

A similar situation happens with restaurant menus: high cost, quickly become unusable. A lot of money is needed to provide a paper menu for each guest, especially if each dish has a photo.

Then how to replace the paper menu with a digital one? The solution is a QR code menu.

QR code menu is a digital menu, available to guests directly from their smartphones. All your visitors have to do is to scan the QR code using only their phone's camera. After that they can immediately see the menu.

Where to put QR code?

You can place the unique code of your restaurant anywhere, as long as it gets into the field of view. These can be any familiar places:

sticker on the table;
corner of your paper menu;
sign holder;
table tent;
advertisement board.

Key benefits of QR menu

Indeed, the QR code menu has an endless list of advantages. It will perfectly fit into any place where people can eat or drink.
