QR code guest feedback: a setup guide for restaurants, cafés and bars
How to collect guest feedback with QR codes: where to place them, which questions to ask, and what to do with the answers.

What QR code feedback is
Guests scan a code with their phone camera and a short feedback page opens in the browser. No app to download, no account to create. It takes them under a minute, and you get an answer from far more guests than a comment card ever collected.
Where to place the codes
Put the code where guests already look at the end of their visit:
- Table cards or stands, visible from every seat.
- The bill folder or the printed receipt.
- The counter or the pickup point in cafés and bars.
- The menu, for places where guests stay a long time.
Keep the questions short
Two to four questions is enough. Star ratings for what matters most — food, service, atmosphere — and one open question for anything else. Asking who served them lets you see how each member of staff is doing.
Every extra question lowers the number of guests who finish. If a question would not change anything you do, drop it.
Do something with the answers
Feedback only helps if someone reads it. Decide who checks it every day, and act on low scores the same day, ideally while the guest is still there. Look at trends by location and by staff member once a week: a pattern tells you more than a single comment.
Common mistakes
- Too many questions, so guests give up halfway.
- A code that is too small, glossy or hidden behind the napkins.
- Nobody reading the answers, so problems repeat.
- Never testing the page on a phone before printing.
