## What is a QR Menu and Why Does It Matter?

A QR digital menu is simple but powerful: a customer holds their phone over the QR code on the table, the menu opens, and they can order directly — no paper menu, no flagging down a waiter, no waiting.

## Key Benefits for Cafes and Restaurants

### 1. Faster Service
Research shows QR menus can reduce customer wait times by up to **40%**. When customers order themselves, waiters can focus on service quality rather than taking orders.

### 2. Fewer Human Errors
Paper or verbal orders are often misheard. With a digital menu, the order goes directly from the customer's phone to the kitchen — accurate, complete, zero misunderstandings.

### 3. Lower Printing Costs
Every time prices change or items are added/removed, no reprinting needed. Update your online menu in one click.

### 4. Higher Average Order Value
Digital menus display photos, descriptions, and related suggestions. Studies show customers spend on average **20% more** with a digital menu.
