Best Practices

Do:

• ✅ Test your QR code on multiple devices before printing
• ✅ Use high error correction for printed materials
• ✅ Include a call-to-action near the code ("Scan for menu")
• ✅ Ensure the linked page is mobile-friendly

Don't:

• ❌ Make QR codes too small (minimum 2cm × 2cm for print)
• ❌ Place them on curved surfaces
• ❌ Link to non-mobile-friendly pages
• ❌ Use low contrast colors

QR Code Error Correction

QR codes have built-in error correction that allows them to work even when partially damaged:

Level	Recovery	Best For
L (Low)	~7%	Digital screens
M (Medium)	~15%	General use
Q (Quartile)	~25%	Printed materials
H (High)	~30%	Outdoor/rough conditions

Higher error correction means slightly larger codes but much better reliability.
