Your prices move, your specials rotate, and your printed QR code does not. Flyn fixes that by pointing every table tent, poster, and window sticker at an editable short link: swap the menu, bump a price, or send the whole thing to a new PDF, and every code you already printed keeps working with the new destination. The same approach handles your Google review ask, click-to-call reservations, and WhatsApp orders, and free scan counts show you which nights people are actually looking, and Pro breaks each scan down by device. Flyn gives you the QR codes and links, not the ordering system, so it sits on top of whatever menu, booking page, or ordering platform you already use.

You reprint the QR code every time a price changes

Raise one dish by fifty cents and a static QR code baked into that PDF still points at the old menu. So you regenerate the code, reprint the table tents, and reseal the window sticker, again. Every price tweak turns into a print job when it should take ten seconds on your phone.

Getting more Google reviews feels like pulling teeth

Happy guests would leave a review if it were one tap, but nobody searches your name, scrolls past the map, and hunts for the review button. Without a direct link on the receipt or the table, your rating creeps up far slower than your service deserves.

Reservations and orders die in a wall of tiny text

A phone number printed on a poster still makes people copy digits, switch apps, and type. A WhatsApp handle buried in a caption gets missed entirely. Every extra step between a hungry guest and your host stand is a booking or an order you quietly lost.

Printed signage is a dead end

The A-frame outside, the flyer on the counter, the sticker on the window: they all point somewhere, but you have no idea if anyone acts on them. Static print gives you no scan count, no busiest-day signal, nothing you can actually learn from.

How Flyn helps

Built for restaurants, cafes, and bars

One QR code, a menu you can change any time

Generate a QR code that points at an editable short link, then print it on table tents, menus, and windows. When prices change or the seasonal menu drops, edit the destination and every code you already printed serves the new menu. No regenerating, no reprinting, no reprint bill.

Turn happy guests into Google reviews

Put a short, branded review link on the receipt, the table, or a small QR sticker so leaving a review is a single tap straight to your Google review form. Add a custom OG preview so when guests share it, the card looks like your restaurant, not a raw URL. More reviews, less friction, a rating that climbs faster.

Tap to reserve, call, or order on WhatsApp

Build click-to-contact links that open a phone call, a text, or a WhatsApp chat the instant a guest taps, from a QR code on the table or a link in your bio. No copying numbers, no app switching. Booking a table or firing off a takeout order becomes one tap from wherever the guest is standing.

Free scan and click analytics

See how many people scanned your menu and which days peak on the free plan. Pro breaks each scan down by device (iPhone or Android) and filters out bots so the numbers reflect real guests. Finally learn whether the window sticker outpulls the table tent, instead of guessing.

Branded links that look like your venue

Connect a custom domain so your menu, review, and reservation links carry your restaurant name instead of a generic shortener. Branded links read as trustworthy on a receipt or a poster, and studies suggest a recognizable domain can lift click-through (commonly cited up to around 34 percent).

Every code and link in one place

Menus, drink lists, review asks, reservation lines, and event flyers each get their own short link, organized in folders so you find the right one fast. Custom slugs keep them readable, link expiration retires a one-night special automatically, and the free plan covers 25 links a month before you ever pay.

Frequently asked questions

How does a QR menu update without reprinting the code?

The QR code points at a Flyn short link, not directly at your menu file. Because that short link is editable, you can change where it goes any time: a new PDF, an updated price list, a seasonal menu. The printed code never changes, so every table tent, poster, and sticker you already printed keeps working and simply shows the new menu the next time a guest scans.

Can I use this to collect more Google reviews?

Yes. Create a short, branded link that points straight at your Google review form, then put it on receipts, table cards, or a small QR sticker so guests reach the review screen in one tap instead of searching for you. You can add a custom OG preview so the shared card shows your venue, and free click analytics tell you how many people are actually tapping through.

Does Flyn handle online ordering or connect to my POS?

No. Flyn provides the QR codes and links, not the ordering system or the point of sale. It sits on top of whatever menu page, booking tool, or ordering platform you already use: you point the code or link at that destination, and you get the editable QR plus scan analytics around it. There is no POS or online-ordering-platform integration.

How do the tap-to-call and WhatsApp links work?

You build a click-to-contact link that opens a phone call, an SMS, or a WhatsApp chat when tapped, then put it behind a QR code or a short link on your table, poster, or bio. When a guest taps, their phone opens the right app ready to call or message you, with no numbers to copy. It is the fastest way to take a reservation or a takeout order from printed signage.

What can I do on the free plan versus Pro?

Free covers 25 links a month, dynamic QR codes, custom slugs, link expiration, custom OG previews, 3 folders, and basic click and scan analytics, which is plenty for a single venue's menu, review, and reservation links. Pro ($9/mo annual or $12/mo, or $249 lifetime) adds unlimited links, advanced analytics broken down by city, device, and referrer, up to 3 custom domains, password protection, and more, useful once you run multiple locations.

Will I know if people actually scan the codes?

Yes, and on the free plan. Flyn shows scan and click counts by day for every QR code and link; Pro breaks each scan down by device and filters bots out so the numbers reflect real guests. That means you can see which nights your menu gets viewed most and whether the window sticker outperforms the table tent, then move your signage based on evidence instead of a hunch.
