Quick answer
A practical setup guide for window decal guests can scan before entering in entrance and offsite discovery. Use it when guests want to inspect the menu before sitting down, entering, or asking staff and the team needs a live QR menu guests can scan reliably.
What this QR menu setup solves
Front Window Decal QR Menu Setup Guide is for entrance and offsite discovery. The specific placement is window decal guests can scan before entering. This matters because guests want to inspect the menu before sitting down, entering, or asking staff.
A good QR menu setup is not just a code on paper. It connects the physical scan moment to a current live menu, a clear guest prompt, and a measurable scan path. The main operational risk is that offsite links and arrival signs drift from the live QR menu and create mismatched expectations.
Setup principle
Use this setup when the restaurant needs to clean up public links, place arrival QR codes, and test the menu from the guest entry path. The QR code should open the same public menu staff trust during service, with current prices, sections, hours, photos, tags, descriptions, and availability.

| Guest problem | guests want to inspect the menu before sitting down, entering, or asking staff | Staff repeat the same explanation | Use a clear prompt beside the code |
| Operational risk | offsite links and arrival signs drift from the live QR menu and create mismatched expectations | The setup drifts after launch | Assign a setup owner |
| Workflow | clean up public links, place arrival QR codes, and test the menu from the guest entry path | The QR code is treated as a one-time print job | Scan-test and review weekly |
