QR codes for restaurants, cafes and food businesses
Food businesses change their menus, specials and hours more often than almost anyone, and printing is slow and costly. A dynamic code on the table, the window and the bag lets you change what it opens without touching the print.
Customers scan with a plate or a coffee in front of them, so the best pages are short and made for a phone: a menu, an order button, a review link.

- Use one code per placement, such as table, window and takeout bag, so your scan counts show what works.
- Print the code on a matte, wipe-clean surface. Grease and condensation are the main enemies of a code.
- Keep prices and hours on the page behind the code, not on the print.
