The goal is to help guests scan in low light and understand whether the link opens drinks, food, or specials.
What to write first
Start with "Scan for a larger menu" and support it with "Ask us if you would like help opening it." only when the printed space allows it. The prompt should make the destination clear: Say larger menu if the mobile menu is easier to read..

Senior-Friendly Card scan prompt checklist
How to publish the prompt
Choose the scan moment
Use this prompt when the tables, host stand, or staff-assisted service scan moment is: guest may need larger print or staff help scanning.
Write the destination first
The prompt should explain that the QR opens the current food, drinks, and specials menu, not a generic website or ordering flow.
Add support copy carefully
Add fallback, language, and accessibility notes only when they are true for the live menu destination.
Publish and measure
After printing the large-print QR card, review watch scan help requests and fallback URL use and staff feedback.
Prompt copy is not the same as QR setup
Use scan prompt examples for the words around the code. Use setup guides for size, placement, contrast, materials, and scan testing.
How FlipMenu fits
FlipMenu helps restaurants import an existing menu, publish a mobile-friendly QR menu, generate QR codes, update menu content without reprinting, translate guest-facing menu content, and review scan and menu engagement. It is not a POS, ordering, payment, delivery, or certified compliance platform.
For bars and pubs, the useful workflow is to publish the live menu first, confirm the QR destination, write a truthful prompt, then print or distribute the large-print QR card. The bar manager should watch watch scan help requests and fallback URL use and adjust prompt wording when guests scan but do not continue into the menu.
