Scan rate is as much about placement as menu quality. Codes hidden inside menu binders or printed too small on glossy paper get skipped.
Table tents at the center of each setting perform well because they are visible when guests sit down. Stickers on existing menu covers work for venues that do not want extra tabletop clutter.
Host stands and waiting areas are underrated: guests often browse while they wait, and an early scan sets expectations before they are seated.
Test placement during a quiet service: watch where guests naturally look for the menu, then put the QR there with a short call to action like Scan for today's menu. MenuOnScan tracks scans by table so you can compare placements over a week and keep what works.
