Create your QR code
- A Wi-Fi QR needs the network name, authentication type and password. Test it with a guest device before placing it on tables or signs.
- Design controls include foreground, background and quiet-zone colours, individual corner markers, dot scale, title, size and error-correction level.
- Keep strong contrast, preserve a clear quiet zone, test the final printed size on more than one phone and repeat the test after adding a logo or changing colours.
Practical uses
Restaurants can connect a menu page or a PDF menu, guest Wi-Fi and a review page. Use separate labelled codes so customers know what each scan opens.
Prepare for print
Keep strong contrast, preserve a clear quiet zone, test the final printed size on more than one phone and repeat the test after adding a logo or changing colours.
Fix scanning problems
If scanning fails, check the encoded value, blur, glare, low contrast, damaged corners, a crowded quiet zone, excessive logo coverage and the real scanning distance.
