Steps

  1. Open your phone camera

    Open the built-in Camera app on your smartphone.

    Almost all modern iOS and Android cameras automatically detect QR codes without third-party scanner apps.

  2. Frame the QR code on the table card

    Point the camera lens at the QR code printed on the table card or disc.

    Hold the camera steady 15–20 cm away so the entire QR square is visible.

  3. Tap the menu link banner

    Tap the link banner that appears in the camera viewfinder.

    Your phone will open the table menu in your browser, identical to the NFC experience.
