Ghost Kitchen QR Menu checklist
How to launch this QR menu use case
Define the guest moment
Start with the moment where guests need a clean menu link outside marketplace apps, then choose the menu sections that matter most.
Prepare the live menu
Build or import brand menu and share links, then remove items that do not belong in this context.
Place and test the QR code
Use package inserts and brand landing pages, then scan from the same distance, lighting, and angle guests will use.
Review after launch
Check scan behavior, item views, staff questions, and guest confusion before changing the QR placement or menu copy.
A QR code is only the entry point
The useful part is the live menu behind it: current prices, clear sections, accurate availability, readable descriptions, and a way to learn what guests actually view.
How this connects to FlipMenu
FlipMenu helps restaurants import existing menus, publish mobile-friendly QR menus, update items without reprinting, translate guest-facing menu content, and review menu engagement. It is not a POS, payment, or delivery platform.
For this use case, the strongest setup is one stable QR destination that can change behind the scenes. That way brand manager can update the menu when items, prices, hours, or specials change without replacing every printed QR code.
