QR Code: what it is and how to use it in a restaurant
A QR code is a two-dimensional barcode that, scanned by a phone camera, opens a link — in a restaurant, usually the digital menu to browse, order and pay with no app.
How the QR code works at the table
You print the QR code and place it on the table or counter. The guest points the camera, the menu opens in the browser, they build the order and pay — all without downloading an app. The menu updates live when an item sells out.
- Digital menu with no app for guests
- Order and pay from the guest's phone
- Real-time prices and availability
Advantages over a printed menu
Beyond hygiene and print savings, a QR code lets you change prices, photos and items anytime, offer the menu in several languages and suggest add-ons that raise the average ticket.
FAQ

No. The same QR code points to your online menu, which you update anytime — no reprinting.
