You see them on tables, posters, and receipts. But if you've never used one, that little black and white square can feel a bit intimidating. Here's a secret: it's incredibly easy. In three simple steps, you'll be browsing the menu like a tech whiz.

Step 1: Just Open Your Phone's Camera
That's it. No special app needed. On most modern smartphones (both iPhones and Androids), the built-in camera can read QR codes automatically.

Step 2: Point It at the Code
Simply point your camera at the QR code as if you were going to take a picture of it. Make sure the whole code is in the frame. No need to tap to focus or zoom—just hold it steady.

Step 3: Tap the Link That Pops Up
Your phone is smart! A small notification (a web link) will pop up on your screen as soon as it recognizes the code. Just tap that notification. Presto! The restaurant's full menu will open right in your browser.

Quick Troubleshooting Tips:

• Is it too dark? Turn on your camera's flash for better visibility.

• Still not working? Double-check that your Wi-Fi or mobile data is on. Sometimes, it just needs a second to connect.

• Have an older phone? No worries! You can download a free "QR code scanner" app from the App Store or Google Play Store.

And That's All There Is To It!
Scanning a QR code is your ticket to a smoother dining experience: menus that are always current, mouth-watering photos of the dishes, and the ability to check out the dessert list without flagging down a server. Now, enjoy your meal!
