• QR codes are an easy way to streamline your business, but there are other benefits as well.
• If you're looking for a way to reduce wait times and increase sales, QR codes can help.
• QR codes allow customers to order food and drinks without having to wait in long lines. This not only saves time for the customer but also allows them to get their food faster than if they had waited in line and ordered with an employee at the counter.
• Another benefit of using QR codes is that it allows restaurants who have limited staffing or lack of staff during peak hours to successfully take orders with lower wait times.

QR Codes give customers a new way to order

QR codes are a quick and easy way to order. Anyone that has a phone with a camera and the ability to connect to the internet will be able to scan a QR code to access the link embedded within. 

Table QR code ordering has skyrocketed in popularity due to the pandemic. As a form of contactless payment, customers can view menus, place orders or even checkout straight from the QR code they scanned. Placing QR codes on your tables, bars, or even displaying them on the walls or windows of your restaurant will increase the amount of customers who will order via QR codes meaning you can save money on physical printed menus and staff. 

Another point about QR codes that make them so special is that they provide a more inclusive experience for people who have trouble reading the text of your physically printed menus. This means that they're more accessible to people with disabilities, such as the visually impaired and those with reading difficulties. The menus within the QR codes can be zoomed into or enlarged for easier viewing. 

This makes it possible for customers who have trouble using traditional menus to order their food quicker without having to wait for a server to assist them with ordering or paying for their meal.

QR codes can help your business get more online orders

Online ordering is a great way to attract customers and increase sales, but it's not always easy for customers to find your restaurant on their preferred online ordering platforms. QR codes are an excellent way to make the process simpler and faster by allowing them to scan the code with their device's camera, which automatically takes them straight through to the restaurant's preferred online ordering platform--without having to type in any information manually.

Placing your online ordering QR code on a sign, inside or outside of the restaurant, handing out cards, flyers or even stickers are all ways to traditionally market your online ordering platform with QR codes. You can also add your online ordering QR code to your to-go menus so that customers that pick them up can order from the correct online order link with no mistakes. 

This feature can be especially beneficial for restaurants that don't want customers placing an order through another platform due to high commission fees. Restaurants can promote the online ordering platforms that have lower or no commission fees that are integrated with their POS systems meaning they keep more of their online order sale revenue.
