Generating QR Codes

Create and customize QR codes for your restaurant.

Accessing QR Codes

Navigate to QR Code from the sidebar to access your code management page.

Your Primary QR Code

Default Code

Every restaurant has a primary QR code:

• Automatically generated on account creation
• Links directly to your public menu
• Permanent and unchanging

Download Options

Download your QR code in multiple formats:

Size Options

Choose download size:

• Small (200px) - Business cards
• Medium (500px) - Table tents
• Large (1000px) - Posters
• Print (300 DPI) - Professional printing

Creating Additional Codes

Why Multiple Codes?

Track different sources:

• Table tents vs. window signs
• Marketing campaigns
• Social media links
• Different locations

Create New Code

1. Click Create New Code
2. Name the code (e.g., “Table Tent - March 2024”)
3. Add optional description
4. Click Create

The new code links to the same menu but tracks separately.

Customization Options

Code Style

Customize appearance:

Adding Your Logo

1. Click Add Logo
2. Upload your logo image
3. Adjust size (keep small for scannability)
4. Preview before saving

Note: Logos reduce error correction. Keep logos small (15-20% of code size).

Error Correction

QR codes have built-in error correction:

Higher correction = larger code. Default is Medium.

Testing Your Code

Before Deploying

Always test:

1. Scan with your phone’s camera
2. Test on multiple devices
3. Verify link goes to correct menu
4. Check that menu loads properly

Troubleshooting Scans

If code won’t scan:

• Ensure minimum size (1” x 1”)
• Check contrast (dark on light)
• Remove glare or damage
• Try from different angle/distance

Printing Guidelines

Resolution

For print quality:

• Minimum 300 DPI
• Use SVG for large formats
• Use PDF for professional printing

Size Requirements

Quiet Zone

Leave white space around code:

• Minimum 4 modules (small squares) on each side
• More space = easier scanning

2. Select codes to include
3. Choose format

Useful for printing multiple code variants.

Best Practices

1. Name codes descriptively - “Window Sign Downtown” not “Code 1”
2. Test before printing - Verify scanning works
3. Use appropriate size - Bigger is generally better
4. Maintain contrast - Dark code on light background
5. Track separately - Create codes for each source
