QR Menus are becoming increasingly popular in post-covid pandemic life. They allow restaurants and hotels to easily offer their customers one less potentially coviddy surface.
Using a QR Menu is fairly simple: customers open their iPhone camera (or google lens) and scan a type of barcode (QR code) which then prompts them to open a menu. The type of menu can vary depending on the service and can vary from static images through to a full ordering and payment solution.

- The customer doesn’t need to download an app, they need only scan the QR and the menu is visible immediately

Disadvantages
