# QR code table tents

A QR code on a table works when two things are true: the phone can read it from a seat, and the guest knows what they get by scanning. Here is how to get both right.

## What the code can open

- Menu: A web page or PDF menu. Use a link you control so you can update prices without reprinting.
- Order and pay at the table: Link to your ordering system's table page. Add the table number by hand or with a sticker if the link needs it.
- Reviews: Your Google or other review page. One line saying it helps a local business tends to work better than "Review us!".
- Wi-Fi: A Wi-Fi QR code connects phones without typing a password. Print the network name too, for people who prefer typing.
- Loyalty, newsletter, events: Sign-up pages work best with a clear reward next to the code.

## QR code checklist

Most failed table QR codes fail for one of these reasons.

- Size: At least 1.25″ (3 cm) square; 1.5″ or more if the guest is across a large table
- Quiet zone: A clear white margin around the code of at least 4 code "dots"
- Contrast: Dark code on a light background. Avoid light-on-dark and colour codes
- Link: Use a URL you can change later (your own page or a redirect), not a link that may expire
- Words: Say what happens: "Scan for the menu", "Scan to pay", "Scan to join Wi-Fi"
- Test: Scan the printed proof with two different phones before approving

## Why the 5 × 5.5″ card

A QR code needs space around it. On the wider [5 × 5.5″ card](https://tent-cards.ca/products/5x5-tent-cards/) the code can sit on one side with the reason to scan beside it, both at a readable size. On the [4 × 6.25″ card](https://tent-cards.ca/products/4x6-tent-cards/) the code usually goes at the bottom, under the message.

## Example orders

Prices for printing one design, before tax and shipping.

- 250 cards at 5 × 5.5″: $375.06 ($1.50 each). One code per table, with spares
- 1,000 cards at 5 × 5.5″: $772.40 ($0.77 each). Same code for every table in four locations
- 500 cards at 4 × 6.25″: $418.40 ($0.84 each). Tall card with the code at the bottom and an offer above

Every design is its own run of at least 100. See the [full price list](https://tent-cards.ca/pricing/).

## Questions

**Can every card have its own table number in the code?**

Not in one run: every card in a run is identical. Use one code for all tables, or ask your ordering provider for a link that asks the guest for their table number.

**Do you make the QR code?**

We print the code you place in your artwork. Generate it from your menu, ordering or review platform, then test it before you send the file.
