QR code is not working

The QR menu will not open, opens the wrong table, or orders do not appear at the till — checks and fixes.

What is the problem?

A guest scans the table code and the menu does not open, or something opens but ordering does not reach the restaurant.

Why it can happen

  • The phone camera app is not offering to open the link (old camera app).
  • The guest's phone has no internet — the menu needs a connection.
  • The code is damaged, or belongs to a deleted table.
  • The printed codes were made for a different domain than the one now serving the menu.
  • Orders ARE arriving but nobody is watching the till's approval queue.

How to check it

  1. Scan the code yourself with the phone camera (not a QR-scanner app). A banner with the menu link should appear; tap it.
  2. If the menu opens, check the table name in the header matches the table you are standing at.
  3. Place a one-item test order and watch the till — it should pop up in the approval queue within seconds.
  4. If the till shows nothing: check the till is signed in for the right outlet and is online.

How to fix it

  • Camera shows no link → try the phone's browser and type the address printed near the code, or reprint the code.
  • Wrong table opens → the code on that table belongs elsewhere; reprint the sheet (Print the QR sheet) and replace it.
  • Menu does not open at all on any phone → the deployment's guest-menu URL may have changed; contact support with the table name.
  • Orders not visible at the till → they wait in the approval queue; make sure a cashier is signed in — see Order is missing.

What NOT to do

Do not

  • Do not delete and recreate tables to "fix" a QR code — new tables get new tokens and every other printed code for them dies. Editing a table never changes its QR.
  • Do not take the table out of service until you have tried the checks above — most QR problems are the phone, not the code.

How you know it is fixed

A scan opens the menu for the right table, and a test order appears in the till's approval queue.

Still not working?

Note the table name, the phone model, and what the camera shows, and contact RestoQR support — choose QR ordering as the category.
