Since 2020, QR codes have become essential in hospitality. But beyond the simple digital menu, they offer far more possibilities to improve the guest experience and streamline operations.
The Digital Menu: Much More Than a PDF
Forget static PDFs. A modern digital menu should be:
- Interactive: Photo of each dish, detailed descriptions
- Up to date: Instantly editable (out of stock, daily specials)
- Multilingual: Language switching based on the phone
- Informative: Allergens, calories, product origin
Best Practices for Menu QR Codes
- Place a QR code on every table (not a single one at the entrance)
- Use an elegant physical support (not just a sticker)
- Add explanatory text: “Scan to view our menu”
- Always keep a few paper menus for those who prefer them
Ordering and Payment
QR codes can go even further:
- Order directly from the table
- Add items without waiting for a server
- Integrated payment (no more waiting for the bill)
- Split the bill between guests
Result: faster table turnover and higher average ticket (guests more easily add extras).
Collecting Reviews
The best time to ask for a review? While the guest is still at the table, happy with their meal. A QR code on the bill or card receipt can redirect to:
- Your Google Business Profile
- Tripadvisor
- An internal feedback form
Tip: With Sqanity Pro, create a dynamic QR code and switch between Google and Tripadvisor depending on your current priorities.
