Front Window scan prompt checklist
How to publish the prompt
Choose the scan moment
Use this prompt when the street-facing window scan moment is: passerby checks the menu before entering.
Write the destination first
The prompt should explain that the QR opens the current multilingual restaurant 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 front window decal, review compare window scans with visits during peak walk-by hours 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 tourist-facing restaurants, the useful workflow is to publish the live menu first, confirm the QR destination, write a truthful prompt, then print or distribute the front window decal. The floor manager should watch compare window scans with visits during peak walk-by hours and adjust prompt wording when guests scan but do not continue into the menu.
