Catering Box Label scan prompt checklist
How to publish the prompt
Choose the scan moment
Use this prompt when the catering boxes and event packaging scan moment is: event guest or buyer wants package details.
Write the destination first
The prompt should explain that the QR opens the current dine-in 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 catering box label, review track scans from package labels after event delivery 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 independent restaurants, the useful workflow is to publish the live menu first, confirm the QR destination, write a truthful prompt, then print or distribute the catering box label. The owner-operator should watch track scans from package labels after event delivery and adjust prompt wording when guests scan but do not continue into the menu.
