QR codes for pizza shops, boxes and delivery
Every pizza box that leaves your shop is a free billboard in someone's kitchen. A sticker on the lid with a code that opens your direct ordering page turns a delivery-app customer into a regular, without paying an app's fee next time.
Specials change weekly. A dynamic code on the box, the window and the magnet keeps pointing to the current offer.
This is a dynamic QR code: $3 once, and you can change where it points at any time without reprinting. How that works
What should a pizza shop QR code link to?
One action per placement.
| Placement | Opens | Line on the sticker |
|---|---|---|
| Box lid | Direct ordering page | Order direct, skip the app fees |
| Window | Menu and today's slice specials | See the menu |
| Fridge magnet | Reorder page | Hungry? Reorder in a tap |
| Receipt | Review page | How was your pie? |
Will a QR code on a pizza box survive grease and heat?
Grease can soak through card stock and blur the code. Print the code on a coated sticker and place it on the lid's top, away from the center where steam collects. Use dark on white, and test a hot box before printing hundreds.
How big should the code be on a box?
About 3 to 4 cm (1.2 to 1.6 inches) square, on a flat area of the lid. People scan at arm's length at home, so a clear border matters more than size.
How do I promote a weekly special with a QR code?
Use one code that always opens the specials page. Update the page every Monday, and every printed box, magnet and window sign shows the new deal.
Example signs
Each example code opens threedollarqrcode.com. Your code can open any page you choose.
Questions
Do customers need an app?
No. The phone camera is enough.
Can I track which stickers work?
Use one code for boxes and another for the window, then compare scan counts.
Is it allowed to promote direct ordering on delivery-app orders?
Check the terms of each delivery platform you use.
Cost?
$3 once per code.
Can I offer a coupon through the code?
Yes. Make the page show today's offer, and change it whenever you like.
What if the shop changes ordering systems?
Update the address in your edit link. The printed boxes keep working.
