Generating QR Codes for Dining Tables in a Dining Area

You can generate QR codes for dining tables in a dining area and use them in eCommerce ordering. The QR codes consist of the restaurant's URI, the restaurant number, dining table number, and sales type.

You can, for example, print the QR codes and place the images on the dining tables, where customers can scan them with their phone. The customers are then directed to the eCommerce menu and can place their order. The order includes the dining table number.

Note: A dining service hospitality type uses a dining area that contains the dining table setup. The hospitality type's sales type is used to build the QR code. It gives the eCommerce platform information on what sales type to use when orders are created for the dining tables (that is, to which hospitality type the orders belong).

A dining area can be used by more than one hospitality type. In that case, more than one sales type is valid for the QR codes in a dining area. The program picks the first hospitality type that uses the dining area when generating the QR codes. If this is not the correct hospitality type, you must fill out the Sales Type for eCommerce Ordering field on the Dining Area Card page with the desired sales type.

To create an eCommerce profile

The eCommerce profile contains the URI for the landing page. After creating an eCommerce profile, you assign it to the appropriate restaurant.

  1. Click the icon, enter eCommerce Profiles, and select the relevant link.
  2. On a new line, fill in the Code and Description fields.
  3. In the LS eCommerce URI field, enter the URI for the landing page.

To assign the eCommerce profile to a restaurant

  1. Click the icon, enter Restaurant List, and select the relevant link.
  2. Select the desired restaurant.
  3. In the Delivery & Takeout FastTab, select the eCommerce profile in the eCommerce Profile Code field.

To generate the dining table QR codes

  1. Click the icon, enter Dining Areas, and select the relevant link.
  2. Select the desired dining area.
  3. Click the Dining Area action, then select Dining Tables.
  4. Click Process - Create QR Codes.

When you run this process, the program starts by deleting any existing QR codes for the dining area. If you create QR codes and then change the landing page, for example, you need to generate the QR codes again. The program deletes the existing ones and generates them again now with the changed landing page.

To export the dining table QR codes

  1. Click the Process action, and then Export QR Codes.

  3. Click Close. The codes have now been exported as .png files to the selected location.
