What is a QR code?
A QR code is a two-dimensional barcode that stores information such as a website link, contact detail, payment instruction, booking page, or menu link.
How does a QR code work?
When someone scans a QR code, the phone camera reads the visual pattern and converts it into stored data, usually a URL or instruction.
Why businesses use QR codes
Businesses use QR codes because they reduce friction. Customers can scan, open, book, pay, register, or contact a business without typing long URLs.
Practical business examples
Restaurants can use QR codes for menus. Clinics can use them for appointment forms. Retail shops can use them for loyalty registration. Service businesses can use them for lead capture.
Conclusion
QR codes are simple, cheap, and powerful when used correctly. The key is to send users to a fast, mobile-friendly page with a clear next action.
