But getting customers to embrace your digital ordering platform can be a challenge, especially if they’re used to calling in orders or relying on third-party delivery apps. One of the simplest and most effective ways to increase awareness and usage of your online ordering system is by incorporating **QR codes** into your in-store marketing. Here’s how to maximize this strategy: --- #### **Why Use QR Codes?** A QR (Quick Response) code is a square-shaped barcode that, when scanned with a smartphone, instantly directs customers to a website—like your online ordering platform. They’re fast, convenient, and don’t require customers to manually type in a web address. QR codes also provide an opportunity to **track engagement**, helping you see how effective your campaign is. --- #### **Smart Placement Ideas** 1. ### **On To-Go Bags** When customers pick up their takeout orders, a QR code on the bag encourages them to use your online ordering platform next time. Include a **brief call-to-action** like “Order Online Next Time!” or “Skip the Line – Order Ahead!” along with a clear QR code. 2. ### **At the Front Counter** Place a **tabletop sign** or a **sticker** at the ordering counter or checkout area with the QR code and a message like “Order Online and Earn Rewards!” This captures the attention of in-store customers, especially those who are waiting in line. 3. ### **On Menus or Table Tents** If you offer dine-in service, include the QR code on printed menus, table tents, or placemats. This not only promotes online ordering for takeout but can also introduce customers to any **mobile ordering** for dine-in convenience. 4. ### **On Receipts** Consider adding a **QR code** on printed receipts with a call-to-action: “Loved your meal? Skip the wait next time – Order online!” --- #### **Best Practices for Your QR Code Promotion** ✅ **Make It Easy to Scan** Ensure the QR code is large enough and has plenty of contrast (e.g., black code on a white background) so that any smartphone can scan it easily. ✅ **Provide a Clear Call-to-Action** Don’t just put the QR code there—**tell customers why they should scan it.** Examples include “Order Ahead for Faster Pickup!” or “Exclusive Online Deals Inside!” ✅ **Use a Mobile-Optimized Landing Page** Make sure the page the QR code links to is designed for mobile users. It should load quickly and make ordering intuitive. ✅ **Offer Incentives** Encourage customers to use the online platform by offering a discount, loyalty points, or a free item for their first mobile order. ✅ **Track Performance** Use a dynamic QR code with tracking capabilities to measure how many people scan the code and how it impacts online orders. This will help refine your promotional strategy.   💡 **Ready to take your restaurant’s online ordering and promotions to the next level?** Contact our sales team at **sales@zaytech.com** to learn more about our comprehensive packages that handle everything—from promotions to managing your online ordering interface. - [Quick Setup Instructions](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/quick-setup-instructions?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting Started](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/quick-setup-instructions?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [Set Up Smart Online Order Yourself](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/set-up-smart-online-order-yourself?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Making Simple Changes Yourself](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/set-up-smart-online-order-yourself?hsLang=en#making-simple-changes-yourself) - [Developers](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/developers?hsLang=en#main-content) - [WordPress Plug-in](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/developers?hsLang=en#wordpress-plug-in) - [Smart Online Order / Clover Dashboards](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/smart-online-order-clover-dashboards?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Signing in](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/smart-online-order-clover-dashboards?hsLang=en#signing-in) - [Other Options](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/smart-online-order-clover-dashboards?hsLang=en#other-options) - [Clover Dashboard](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/smart-online-order-clover-dashboards?hsLang=en#clover-dashboard) - [Retail](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/retail?hsLang=en) - [FAQ](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/faq?hsLang=en) - [Import/Sync Inventory](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/import-sync-inventory?hsLang=en) - [Order Types Tab](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/order-types-tab?hsLang=en) - [Categories & Items](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/categories-items?hsLang=en) - [Checkout Settings](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/checkout-settings?hsLang=en) - [Store Settings](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/store-settings?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Scheduling Orders](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/store-settings?hsLang=en#scheduling-orders) - [Email / Text Notifications](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/store-settings?hsLang=en#email-text-notifications) - [Delivery Areas/Fees](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/delivery-areas-fees?hsLang=en) - [Store Interfaces](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/store-interfaces?hsLang=en) - [Items/Images/Descriptions](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/items-images-descriptions?hsLang=en) - [Coupons](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/coupons?hsLang=en) - [Helpful Articles](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/helpful-articles?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Troubleshooting](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/helpful-articles?hsLang=en#troubleshooting) - [Troubleshooting](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/troubleshooting?hsLang=en) - [Kiosk](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/kiosk?hsLang=en) - [Customers](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/customers?hsLang=en) - [Loyalty System](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/loyalty-system?hsLang=en) - [Branded App](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/branded-app?hsLang=en) - [Mobile App](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/mobile-app?hsLang=en) - [Modifier Groups and Modifiers](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/modifier-groups-and-modifiers?hsLang=en) - [Crossposting Blog](https://docs.zaytech.com/knowledge/crossposting-blog?hsLang=en) - [Default HubSpot Blog](https://blog.zaytech.com/) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://docs.zaytech.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo-2.png?width=101&height=32&name=logo-2.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://zaytech.com/) 2025 Zaytech Software Co.
