How you can use QR codes for you restaurant
The restaurant industry has been hit the hardest by the pandemic, losing billions in sales as a result of mandated closures and capacity limits (1). The pandemic has forced restaurants to have a stronger digital presence in the wake of the pandemic. QR codes are a cost effective way to further digitally transform your business.
Let’s look at a few ways restaurants can use QR codes to their advantage:
1) Create a contactless menu — Use QR codes to direct customers to your menu and avoid transmission from physical menus. Customers can use their smartphones to scan the QR code and will be able to to view the menu. This will also allow restaurants to make changes to their menu more often without the added costs of printing! Learn how to create one with this video.
2) Secure payments — You can offer cashless mobile payments via QR codes. This eliminates the need to manage cash and is a good alternative to contactless card payment. This system can further be incorporated into your online ordering system.
3) Contract tracing — Use QR codes to facilitate contact tracing and reduce the spread of Covid-19. You can create a system to log names and contact information to visiting customers.
4) Wifi—Tired of customers asking you for the wifi password? You can create a QR code that will allow customers to connect to the wifi. It’s convenient, simple and safe! You do not need to share the password this way.
5) Social Media — You can use QR codes to increase your digital engagement. You can create QR codes to help customers view your instagram, twitter and other social media. This is a great way to keep in touch with your customers and get feedback!
