QR codes had a jump in usefulness during the pandemic by providing a quick and easy way for businesses to implement contactless ordering and payment systems. QR codes allowed customers to easily access menus and make purchases from their own devices without having to physically interact with menus, or payment terminals. Helping stop the spread of infection, QR codes made it easier for businesses to keep up with the new rules of social distancing. Also, they allowed companies to easily incorporate digital ordering and payment systems which means more profits online and helped to increase their online presence and reach a wider audience.
