Where to Place QR Codes in Your Restaurant
Table Tents & Table Stickers
The #1 placement. Every diner sees it. Perfect for menus, WiFi, and ordering.
Menu Cards & Inserts
Add a small QR code to the corner of physical menus linking to your full digital menu or daily specials.
Receipt Footers
Print a review QR code at the bottom of every receipt. Happy diners are most likely to review right after paying.
Front Window & Entrance
Display your menu QR code on the front window so passersby can check the menu before walking in.
Takeout Bags & Containers
Add ordering and social media QR codes to takeout packaging for repeat business.
Coasters & Napkin Holders
Subtle but effective. Diners notice QR codes on items they interact with while waiting.
Counter & Register Area
Perfect for tip QR codes, social media follows, and loyalty program sign-ups.
Delivery Flyers & Mailers
Include a QR code on flyers inserted in delivery orders to drive repeat orders and reviews.
Tips for Restaurant QR Codes
Print QR codes at least 2cm × 2cm (0.8in × 0.8in). For table tents, 3-4cm is ideal.
Always add a text label like "Scan for Menu" - many diners still need a prompt to scan.
Use laminated or waterproof stickers for table placements. Restaurants are high-spill environments.
Test every QR code before printing. Scan it on both iPhone and Android to verify it works.
Use dynamic QR codes for menus so you can update prices without reprinting the physical code.
Place WiFi QR codes where guests sit down - they look for WiFi in the first 2 minutes.
Print review QR codes on receipts. The moment after paying is when diners are most willing to leave a review.
Rotate your QR code placements every few weeks and check analytics to find the best spots.
Use high contrast colors. A dark QR code on a light background scans best, even in dim restaurant lighting.
