From menus to reviews, QR code hacks that can save time, reduce costs, and delight customers.
QR Codes That Actually Work
QR codes aren’t outdated—they’re powerful when used right. Here are seven creative QR code hacks that save time and add value:
1. Simplify Menus & Price Lists
Link to live menus or pricing, updated directly through your POS so it never gets stale.
2. Automate Review Requests
Stick a QR code on the receipt: “Loved it? Scan to review us.” Use your POS data to messageless campaigns later.
3. Enable Self-Checkout Links
Use QR-code checkout so customers pay quickly without waiting inline—a modern convenience, especially in retail.
4. Share Product Information
Embed QR codes on tags or packaging that link to usage tips, restock options, or FAQs dynamically updated by your POS.
5. Promote Events or Specials
Scan a flyer or window display QR to join loyalty events or secret sales. Track redemptions through your POS.
6. Collect Customer Feedback
QR codes linked to short forms that record feedback and capture contact info—sent back automatically by your POS.
7. Offer Loyalty Check-Ins
Give customers loyalty points just by scanning in-store. Your POS rewards them instantly—fun, smooth, effective.
Final thoughts
QR codes are only as good as the system behind them. When synced with a smart POS, they become powerful tools—not just codes to scan.
