Place QR codes where customers can scan them without asking staff

A practical QR placement checklist for owners, staff, and printers.

Create one QR menu source

Quick answer

A good QR setup uses the right size, clear placement, good lighting, a readable fallback URL, and scan testing on real customer phones before printing at scale.

Packaging QR placed on a flat visible area.

Bill-folder or receipt QR does not fold across the code.

Fallback short URL printed below the code.

Size and lighting

Checklist

Print test at the final size before bulk printing.

Avoid glossy glare where lighting is strong.

Keep quiet space around the QR.

Use strong contrast.

Do not place on curved or heavily textured surfaces.

Scan test

Checklist

Test iPhone camera.

Test Android camera.

Test in-store Wi-Fi and mobile data.

Confirm the page opens the current menu.

Ask staff to test before placing cards on tables.

Questions owners ask

Should each table have a different QR?

Not for the menu source. A single official menu link is simpler. Table-specific codes only matter when a separate ordering system needs table identity.

Owner approval before publishing

The public menu should come from the business, not from old PDFs or scattered screenshots.

One approved source

Customers keep reaching the current version instead of old PDFs, screenshots, or scattered links.

Simple for one location. Ready for many.

Start with one business. Keep the structure ready for locations, governance, and public consistency.
