QR Codes for Cafés and Restaurants: What Actually Works

Which QR codes a café actually needs, where to put them, how big to print them, and the mistakes that make customers give up and ask a member of staff.

What these guides cover

Generating a QR code takes about ten seconds. Getting one to work reliably in a real environment, a dim restaurant at 9pm, a printed card handled by a hundred people, a guest arriving with no data allowance, takes a handful of specifics that are rarely written down properly.

These guides cover that gap. Each one deals with a concrete situation rather than QR codes in general, and gives the numbers where numbers matter: minimum print sizes, the character counts where codes start failing, which test actually proves a WiFi code works, and where an ad or a code must not be placed.

Start here by situation
