Complete Guide to QR Code Ordering for Restaurants

QR code ordering is transforming how restaurants serve their guests. This guide covers everything you need to know — from choosing the right solution to optimizing your setup for maximum orders.

Key Benefits

Why QR ordering works

Guests scan a code at their table, browse your menu on their phone, and order instantly. No app download needed, no waiting for a waiter. It is faster, more accurate, and increases average order value by 15-25%.

How to get started

Choose a platform that supports your needs (own domain, multi-language, online payments). Upload your menu with photos and descriptions. Generate QR codes and print them on table stands.

Best practices for table placement

Place QR codes at eye level on each table. Use sturdy acrylic stands or laminated cards. Include a short instruction like 'Scan to order' in your guests' language.

Measuring success

Track adoption rate (percentage of orders via QR), average order value increase, and table turnover time. Most restaurants see measurable improvements within the first week.
