Ordering with QR codes at restaurants has rapidly become widespread in recent years. So how does a QR code ordering system work and how do you use it? In this guide, we explain step by step.
What is a QR Code and How Does It Work?
A QR code (Quick Response Code) is a two-dimensional barcode that can be scanned with smartphones. In restaurants, QR codes are typically placed on tables, and customers can access the digital menu by scanning these codes with their phone's camera.
QR code technology allows customers to access the menu directly through the browser without downloading any app. This enables:
- A hygienic experience without touching physical menus
- Instant menu updates and price changes
- Menu content enriched with visuals
- Multi-language support
Steps to Order with QR Code
Step 1: Scan the QR Code
Scan the QR code on your table with your phone's camera. Most modern smartphones automatically detect QR codes. iPhone users can use the Camera app, while Android users can use Google Lens.
Step 2: Access the Digital Menu
After scanning the QR code, a link will appear on your screen. By tapping this link, you can access the restaurant's digital menu. With systems like Alman Hesabı, this process takes just seconds.
Step 3: Create Your Order
Browse the menu items, select portion options and customizations. Many digital menu systems offer:
