Yes, it is all about the QR code which has taken the place of physical menu cards in the F&B industry. One thing about the QR codes in place of the restaurant menu is that it is here to stay. As the acronym itself states — Quick Response codes, widely known as QR codes, drive faster virtual solutions across different fields. Owing to its convenience and the many health and safety benefits it offers, this new age has witnessed the widespread usage of QR codes. QR codes act as a bridge between traditional and digital marketing. They take the customers into the digital world of the restaurant business and connect them smoothly. Thus, it isn’t an exaggeration when one says that these dotted squares play a great role in the development of dine-in restaurants, where cloud kitchens are vastly replacing the conventional dine-outs.

This also acts as an effective solution to the increasing employee shortage in the restaurant sector. It is also widely appreciated by environmental enthusiasts, as it reduces paper usage and leaves less carbon footprint comparatively.
