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
- Scan the code yourself with the phone camera (not a QR-scanner app). A banner with the menu link should appear; tap it.
- If the menu opens, check the table name in the header matches the table you are standing at.
- Place a one-item test order and watch the till — it should pop up in the approval queue within seconds.
- 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.
