Restaurant QR codes
Restaurant QR codes work best when each placement has one job: open the menu, connect to WiFi, leave a review, book a table, or join a loyalty offer.
Use static QR codes for stable destinations and UTM-tagged links when you want website analytics to separate table tents, receipts, posters, and delivery inserts.
Best QR code opportunities
Table menus and ordering
Send guests to a mobile menu, ordering page, allergens page, or daily specials without printing new menus every week.
Guest WiFi and reviews
Place WiFi QR codes near seating areas and use review links on receipts or counter signage after the meal.
Bookings and loyalty
Add QR codes to window decals, flyers, and packaging so guests can reserve, reorder, or join a rewards list later.
Recommended QR code types
Restaurant rollout checklist
- Use short, mobile-friendly landing pages that load quickly on guest phones.
- Print at a size that can be scanned from the expected table or counter distance.
- Keep strong contrast and a clear quiet zone around the code on menus and signage.
- Test every destination before a menu update, event night, or seasonal campaign goes live.
Frequently asked questions
Which file format should restaurants use for print?
Use SVG, PDF, or EPS for professional print layouts. PNG or WebP is better for quick digital sharing and online menus.
