It is preferred for eliminating the need for printed menus, offering a more hygienic and environmentally friendly solution. Businesses can update their menus instantly in cases of price changes or out-of-stock items, providing customers with accurate and up-to-date information at all times. Additionally, QR code menus are widely used as they integrate with various restaurant software solutions such as restaurant software, making the dining experience faster and smoother in many situations.

The steps to place an order using a QR code are as follows:

• Scan the QR code: The QR code scanning process is initiated by the guest scanning the QR code located on the table, menu, or any sign with their smartphone camera or a QR code reader application. By clicking on the link that appears on the screen, they access the digital menu.
• Review the menu: Upon opening the menu, guests can navigate between categories, view product descriptions, prices, and images.
• Customize the order: The customer selects the products they wish to order. Most QR code systems offer customization options such as adding extra ingredients, choosing side items, or providing allergen alerts. Once the selected items are customized, they are added to the cart.
• Proceed to payment: The customer chooses a payment method. The system typically works with digital wallets like credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or sometimes cash options.
• Prepare the order: The order is prepared in the kitchen and delivered directly to the table or the specified delivery point.

A good digital menu should not only list the restaurant's products. It should also improve the customer experience with both its design and content, and support business operations.

The key features that should be included in a digital menu are:

• A responsive design that works seamlessly on smartphones, tablets, and computers.

QR menus can be used with all devices that have a camera and internet connection. The most common usage is through smartphones because these devices are both portable and have QR code scanning capability. Additionally, most customers always have them with them. In addition, access to QR menus can also be provided through tablets and laptops with QR code reading software installed. Some smartwatches can also scan QR menus for viewing purposes, albeit with limited functionality. Basically, if a device can scan menu QR codes and open a web browser, accessing the QR menu is easy. Thanks to this feature, QR menus become an extremely flexible and user-friendly solution for both customers and restaurants.

QR code menu software is suitable for various types of businesses in the food and accommodation sector with different concepts and scales. It is commonly preferred in establishments such as restaurants, cafes, bars, and fast food chains where the ordering process needs to be fast and contactless. Additionally, square code menu software is an ideal solution for hotel room service, beach clubs, poolside areas, and event spaces where physical menu usage is difficult. QR code restaurant menus are also preferred in businesses with food trucks and self-service kiosks due to the convenience and efficiency they offer.

When choosing a QR code menu, here are some important points to consider:

When creating a QR code menu in restaurants, menu information is directly entered into the POS system. All data such as product names, descriptions, prices, and images are taken from this system to automatically generate the QR menu. Any changes made to the menu are instantly reflected in the QR menu without the need for additional steps. Managers can centrally control the menu content and customize it for guests with brand-specific design options.

Operators can place the generated QR code in the dining area on walls or menu cards to allow guests to easily access it with their phones. QR menu prices may vary depending on the features of the selected solution. For Protel's professional restaurant QR menu solutions and pricing information, you can fill out the form.
