A real-world example

One card per room, updated from the front desk

A boutique hotel replaces its room binders with a small card. The QR code opens the welcome guide, room service menu and spa treatments. When the restaurant changes its menu, the front desk uploads the new PDF and every room is up to date.

  • No more outdated binders
  • Menus updated in seconds
  • Your hotel’s look and feel

Best practices

Make the stay easier

Guests use the guide when they need something now.

  • Put the welcome guide and Wi-Fi details first
  • Keep menus as short, readable PDFs
  • Use a frame like “Scan for your guest guide”
  • Use a separate code for each property in a portfolio
  • Review documents before peak season

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I use one code for every room?

Yes. One code can serve every room, or create separate codes per property or room type.

Can guests read the guide before arrival?

Yes. Share the page link in your confirmation email.

Can I change menus daily?

Yes. Upload the new PDF and the code shows it immediately.

Can I replace a PDF after printing the QR code?

Yes. Upload the new version in your dashboard and the same QR code opens it straight away. Nothing needs to be reprinted.

What should I check before printing?

Scan the downloaded code on a couple of phones, open every PDF on mobile data, and test a printed proof at the real size. Keep a short written URL nearby for anyone who can’t scan.
