Checklist

Restaurant QR checklist

  • Use a mobile-first landing page instead of a hard-to-read PDF where possible.
  • Keep the same printed QR on every stable surface you do not want to replace often.
  • Use CTA copy like 'Scan for menu' or 'Scan for today's specials' so the scan intent is obvious.
  • Pair campaign placements with trackable destinations when you test takeaway or window traffic.
