    Restaurant Menu QR Checklist

    A quick checklist to keep digital menus usable and up to date.

    Intro

    Menu QR codes are operational tools. Slow loads or outdated menus quickly frustrate customers.

    Preparation

    Plan update cycles and keep a backup URL for cases when QR scans fail.

    Steps

    Use lightweight pages, provide backups, and update content without reprinting QR codes.

    Example

    Switching from a heavy PDF to a mobile page stabilized orders during lunch rush.

    Mistakes

    Large PDFs, outdated menu content, and damaged stickers reduce scan success.
