QR codes are more than just digital stickers

They’re quick to scan, simple to set up, and surprisingly effective at bridging the gap between offline and online for local businesses.

At QR2U, we’ve seen cafes, barbers, garages, and shops use them to:

  • Collect more reviews

  • Share offers and vouchers

  • Build a reputation through smart links

  • Track what’s working and what’s not

QR codes built for real people

Most QR code generators pump out static codes and call it a day. At QR2U, we built a system that actually helps local businesses get found — and keep customers coming back.

Each QR2U code links to a business profile that’s easy to scan, fast to load, and packed with real info: reviews, highlights, offers, and a ‘get directions’ button that just works.

Turn foot traffic into regulars

Sticking a QR2U code in your window (or on a table, bag, receipt, or takeaway cup) lets people scan it, learn more, and come back — or send it to a mate.

It’s a small action that makes a big difference, especially when paired with smart offers or review requests. The best part? You get data to back it all up.

The bottom line

QR codes aren’t new — but the way you use them can be. When they’re part of a smart local strategy, they help customers connect with your business instantly.

If you're not using QR codes yet, start simple. And if you're already using them, QR2U can help you get more from every scan.
