Many restaurateurs have rushed to introduce QR code menus to give their guests a contactless way to browse their food and beverage offerings. But are all QR menus created equally? We say no. The simplest implementation is a QR that points to a simple PDF version of a printed menu. These offer little benefit because while they save the cost and contact surfaces required by printed menus, ordering from a PDF menu still relies on a face-to-face conversation with a server. Assuming that a QR code in front of a PDF menu is the least functional option, what exactly should a functional QR Menu offer your business?

2020 was a breakthrough year for the adoption of QR menus among consumers in the US. As the only QR menu-based contactless POS with native features for opening, sharing and paying via tabs, GoTab has experienced exponential growth. That’s good news for us, and even better news for our operators, for two reasons:Guests who order directly from QR Menus obviously feel much safer than when they are handling a printed menu and interacting face-to-face with a server. They also tend to make fewer ordering mistakes since they’re ordering directly from their phones.Servers find QR Menus make them feel more comfortable too. They minimize the face-to-face interactions with guests to only the most valuable ones; i.e., table touches to make sure guests are satisfied and sharing recommendations for the most popular menu items or wine pairings to name a few. While a QR Menu is a win-win for both operators and guests, creating a well-designed QR menu is a combination of art and science. Here are 5 recommendations for creating an engaging QR menu that is easy to browse, and improves the experience for guests who are interacting digitally rather than with a printed menu.
