Set up Static QR code
Learn how to generate a Static QR Code that you can assign to tables in your restaurant.
Static QR Codes refer to QR codes that have a fixed destination and cannot be updated or changed. Static QR Codes are useful if you want to assign a specific QR code to your restaurant's tables in advance. When a customer scans the QR Code, the system automatically recognizes any orders made on that table and processes them accordingly.
Tip: To prevent Static QR Codes from being used by non-patrons, you can enable "Order Creation is required when ordering with Table QR Code" from the Dine-In Scan to Order settings to disable the Static QR code temporarily. To re-enable the QR code, a restaurant staff member must seat a customer first using the POS. Once a customer is seated at the table, the QR code becomes available to scan. For more information, refer to Set up Dine-In settings.
