WiFi verse QR Codes

We often get the question should we use QR Codes or WIFI to distribute our menus. Although both approaches lead to the same outcome, it helps to understand the differences to ensure that your customers have a smooth experience.   This article reviews both options and highlights the pros and cons of each.

Restaurants are being forced to find creative ways to ensure that their customers feel safe when visiting their establishment.  QR Codes have been showing up at local coffee shops, fine restaurants and hotels promising an easy way to access menus and other content.  This is not always the case as some areas provide poor cell phone reception, users are not technologically savvy enough to navigate the process, or poor menu design makes the experience totally undesirable.

WIFI menu access provides a good alternative when cell phone reception is poor and allows faster access to your content. Setting up a WIFI Guest Portal allows customers to not only access your menus or custom content but also gives them access to surf the Internet.  Many customers appreciate this access as it allows them to pass the time surfing the Internet or respond to emails while waiting for their food.
