QR Codes on Menus

Benefits of using QR Code on Menus 

Digital menus have become a mandatory attribute of catering establishments. Cafés, restaurants, street stalls, and catering companies are gradually abandoning paper menus in favor of QR codes. It has become especially relevant with the easing of quarantine measures during Covid-19. Contactless ordering and electronic payment, as well as maintaining distance and antiseptic principles in establishments, have become a new requirement for the safety of public catering.

Contactless menu by QR code

You may no longer have to worry about your restaurant's paper menu. You no longer need to update, correct and reprint it. All this requires attention, time, and money. When you replace the paper menu with a QR code, these problems will disappear. Stick a dynamic URL QR code sticker directly on a table or bar, or print it on a table tent. Your customers will scan it and immediately have access to the contactless menu. If you practice self-service, your customers can also place an order and pay for it with a QR code.

The digital menu works well independently and with other informational materials 

You can add restaurant or café menu QR codes to any promotional materials. Cafés and restaurants usually use attractive dishes ads beside the menu in the dining hall. Complete your advertising campaign with street displays or banners with the best restaurant offers to attract customer attention. Their bright design will attract customers' attention, and the QR code with the call to action redirects them to the menu.

QR code visualizes the menu to help the client make a choice

Information about the dishes’ composition, weight, and cost does not capture the client's imagination. But photos of food and drink will do it better. So, to demonstrate your culinary masterpieces, use a digital menu with an image gallery. Make your visitors more culinary and aesthetic pleasure and come back to you.

QR codes help you to stay in touch with your customers and make their lives easier

A QR code menu is an effective way to stay in touch with your customers even after they have left your restaurant. You can customize QR codes to provide customers with helpful information and improve their experience. Add a menu link by QR code to the restaurant's business card, so your clients can order food. Use QR codes for quick and easy redirects to social media and websites. It allows you to expand your customer base, better represent your brand, and provide your audience with helpful content.

QR Codes on Menus and other materials: Best Practice

QR codes are a universal tool for presenting your brand and business. But you can make even a minor mistake in the design, and all your efforts will be in vain. Don't repeat mistakes! Pursue our tips on using QR codes in promotional materials and make them more expressive and potent.

Add a brief description to your QR code

Why would anyone even scan your QR code? You lose if you have no answer to this question. A QR code without instructions does not carry any value or information to the user. So be sure to print out the QR code with instructions on what your client or partner will learn from the scan.

Use informative frames for the QR code

The users are almost ready to scan the QR code. Just help them! Frames tell your audience about your QR code. Does your QR code lead to your store's Instagram? Add a “Follow Me” call-to-action box. 

Add your logo to your QR code

You must do it! A company logo on a QR code helps users recognize and trust you. The L2QR builder automatically determines the optimal size for your logos, ensuring the scanning of QR codes.

Remember the contrast

However, the QR code should always be visible on a light or dark background. Consistent contrast is the key to fast reading. Use a white box or frame for guaranteed QR code scanning.

Integrate the QR code into your design

Isn't it enough to just put a QR code on a menu? Sorry, but no. When a QR code looks like a random element, it gives every reason to believe that you are not being responsible enough with your presentation. Therefore, create promotional materials where the QR code is an organic part of their design.

Save and recreate your signature design
