Saskatchewan businesses utilizing QR code technology even after COVID-19 mandates lifted
Global News
Even though physical menus are now welcome with lifted COVID-19 mandates, some Saskatchewan businesses will continue using QR codes.
If you have eaten out over the past couple of years, there’s a pretty good chance you have used QR code technology.
Congress Group of Restaurants partner Blair Voth Miller manages some restaurants in Saskatoon, including Thirteen Pies, Hometown Diner, and the Bagel Shop. She said adapting during the pandemic has been necessary, and technology has helped.
“One of the major changes was switching to QR code menus and to be honest it’s been a pretty smooth process,” she said.
QR code technology was simple for Voth Miller to roll out and easy for customers to learn.
“Once you show them once or twice like all of us, they catch on pretty quickly. It’s kind of nice to be able to look at your own menu on your phone and have that available,” Voth Miller said.
Her other business partners agree QR codes will still be utilized, even though physical menus are now welcome with lifted COVID-19 mandates. Using fewer physical menus reduces waste, and saves time and money.
“We still need to do the graphic design side of it but it is nice not to have to send that change to the printer and do all those things,” Voth Miller said.
