84% of UK and US dining customers have at least once used a QR code menu to order and pay for food. Overall, 73% of customers are concerned about having to touch a physical paper menu in the post-pandemic era. That is not to worry about since GonnaOrder’s QR code ordering is all you need to keep customers coming back.
Reusable menus used to be the norm before the arrival of the Coronavirus pandemic with restaurants and some other businesses reluctantly adopting technology. However, things have changed with the pandemic forcing businesses to adopt new and re-invented technologies.
Hotels and restaurants have increasingly adopted QR code menu and ordering systems, thanks to their convenience and safety promise. Digital menus offer a high reusability level compared to physical menus and that explains why more and more businesses are switching to QR code ordering systems.
A digital menu can help reduce customer-waiter conversations and cut physical interactions to the necessary minimum. Consequently, this would help maintain cleanliness and adhere to recommended health guidelines while at the same time improving wait staff’s productivity.
How QR code menus work
A QR code is usually a digital image printed on paper or displayed on a screen. When used for online ordering, QR code menu’s working can be captured in 4 steps:
- Scan: A customer scans the QR code with a smartphone.
- View: The customer’s mobile device reads the QR code and converts it to a URL. Customer views your digital menu via your store URL.
- Select & order: Customer selects items they would like to order. They can optionally add such items to the shopping cart and place an order.
- Pay: Depending on the settings you have selected for your store, a customer can pay for an order during placement.
With GonnaOrder, a QR code menu links directly to your store. Therefore, customers are redirected to your digital store to view, select, order and pay for products. Still, GonnaOrder is flexible and allows you to configure your store to enable or disable ordering and online payments.
