How to Track Which Table Scans Your QR Code Menu Most

Most restaurants print one QR code and use it everywhere. That works, but it throws away a layer of data: which physical tables or sections actually drive engagement. A per-table tracked link changes that.
Setting up per-table tracking
Instead of one QR code, generate a unique tracked link for each table or section (patio, bar, dining room), all pointing to the same menu content. Each code reports separately, so scan counts roll up by location instead of blending into one number.
What the data tells you
Which sections turn tables fastest based on scan timing versus average visit length
Whether patio or bar seating engages with specials differently than the main dining room
Slow zones where a table talker or staff prompt might lift engagement
Acting on the pattern
If one section consistently under-scans, it's often a visibility problem, not a demand problem: the code is out of sightline or the table tent has fallen over. Fixing placement is usually cheaper than any menu redesign, and the per-table data is what tells you where to look first.
