One mechanism, 16 ways to use it

There is no “restaurant edition”. There is one mechanism — a printed pattern that encodes a link you can re-point — plus analytics, bulk generation and file hosting around it. What changes by industry is which artefact the code lands on, and how expensive that artefact is to reprint.

Restaurants & cafés

Table codes printed once, pointing at a menu that changes with the season, the day or the supply chain.

One code per table for per-table analyticsSwap the menu PDF without touching a single cardWi-Fi codes for the guest networkFeedback and review codes on the bill

Retail & packaging

Codes pressed into packaging months before it ships, re-pointed as the product moves from launch to support.

Print long before the destination existsRe-point from teaser to product page to supportBulk generation per SKU from a CSVScan volume by country to guide distribution

Events & venues

Check-in, schedule and feedback codes generated per session and measured individually.

Bulk generation for every session at oncePer-session scan countsPause a code the moment a session endsSchedule changes without reprinting badges

Hotels & hospitality

In-room codes for Wi-Fi, services and local guides that survive every revision of the content behind them.

Real estate & property

Yard signs, window cards and listing sheets that keep resolving as a property moves through its lifecycle.

FAQ

Industry questions

My industry isn't listed. Will QrZeo work for me?
Almost certainly. The pattern that matters is not the industry — it is whether the code ends up printed on something you cannot cheaply reprint. If it does, a dynamic code saves you the reprint. If it does not, a static code is free and works forever.
Do I need a different plan for a different industry?
No. Plans differ by volume, not by sector: how many dynamic codes you keep live, how much file storage you use, and how many API requests you make. A restaurant with 200 table codes and an agency with 200 campaign codes are on the same plan.
Can I keep separate clients or locations apart?
Yes — create a workspace per client or per site. Each has its own codes, folders, storage, members and API keys, so nothing leaks between them and you can give a client read-only access to just their own numbers.
What about codes that need to survive rough conditions?
Raise the error-correction level to Quartile or High. That lets a scanner reconstruct the payload even when part of the pattern is scuffed, greasy or partly covered. The trade-off is a denser pattern, so print it slightly larger.
Can codes work without an internet connection?
Wi-Fi and vCard codes work fully offline, because the phone acts on the encoded data directly rather than opening a URL. Everything else needs a connection at scan time, whether the code is static or dynamic.

However you bill, start with one real document

Free plan, no credit card. Unlimited static codes forever, and three dynamic ones so you can watch re-pointing work before you pay for it.
