With many states requiring restaurants and venues to have patrons checking in for COVID-19 contact tracing records, lots of businesses within hospitality are looking for easy, safe and secure check-in methods. Here’s why QR codes can provide the ideal solution for restaurants.
QR codes enable contactless check-ins
A QR code can be entirely contactless, because patrons scan the code using their own device. They can type in their details and even sign a digital signature all on their phone – no pens on strings required! In fact, some restaurants are using QR codes from check-in all the way through to digital menus and ordering.
QR codes are fast, easy and convenient for everyone
QR codes are fast, easy and smooth to use, and they don’t require special software to scan. That means less frustration for patrons and staff, fewer queues in entryways, and the ability to have more patrons safely dine at your venue within your opening hours.
As your guest arrives they can be directed to a QR poster which might say something like this:
Please check in:
1. Open the camera app on your phone
2. Scan the QR code
3. Tap the link and check in
As soon as the guest presses submit, their details are securely uploaded to your online database for
effortless record keeping.
QR codes demonstrate you’re taking guest safety seriously
QR codes are now being widely recognised as a common sign that a venue is adhering to COVID-19 guidelines. Having a QR code displayed and scanned at your door is a sign that you’ve considered each guest’s safety and wellbeing.
QR codes can provide communication and marketing channels
