QR codes for local businesses

Stop reprinting QR codes.

Put one code on your menu, yard sign, or front desk. Each scan goes where it should: lunch or dinner, the house they're standing in front of, today's class. Change it anytime without printing a new code.

Free codes never expire. No credit card needed.

Scan me

A QR code. Scan it to open smarterqrcode.com.

Menus, listings, schedules. Same code.

How it works

Tell the code where to send people, and when

Pick a business to see what one printed code can do for it.

Change it anytime

New menu, new listing, new class? Update the link from your dashboard. The printed code stays put.

Test before you print

Pick any day, time, or language and see exactly where the code would send someone.

See what gets scanned

Scan counts on every code, plus peak times and which rule matched on the paid plan.

More examples: events, hotels, tours, and more

A taco stand puts the same code on its counter and every table.

  1. 7 to 11 am

    Breakfast menu

    The coffee crowd gets eggs and pastries, not the dinner list.

  2. 11 am to 4 pm

    Lunch menu

    Lunch specials show up on their own at 11.

  3. Tuesdays

    Taco night specials

    Once a week, without swapping a single sign.

  4. Phone set to Spanish

    Menú en español

    Customers get the menu in their own language.

  5. Everything else

    Dinner menu

    The default, so every scan lands somewhere useful.

Rules for any business

If you can say the rule in a sentence, the code can follow it

Time of day
Happy hour menu from 3 to 6 pm, regular menu the rest of the day.
Day of the week
Yoga signup on Mondays, spin class on Wednesdays.
Dates
Holiday hours from Dec 20 to Jan 2, then back to normal on its own.
Location
The listing for the house someone is standing in front of.
Language
The Spanish page for phones set to Spanish.
Device
The App Store for iPhones, Google Play for Android.
A/B split
Half of scans to one offer, half to another, to see which works.

Up to 10 rules per code, plus your base URL for everything else. See examples by business

Your printed codes keep working.

Signs and menus stay up for years, so your codes keep working even if you stop paying. You'd go back to the free features: one link per code and a short hold page. A lot of QR code services switch codes off when a subscription ends. We don't.

  • Codes never expire
  • Unlimited scans on every plan
  • Change the link without reprinting
