Tags and QR codes

A tag is a physical spot customers order from: a table, a seat, a bar stool, a room. Each tag has its own QR code (and can be written to an NFC sticker), so an order placed from it arrives labeled — "Table 12" — and staff know where to take it.

Tag ordering must be turned on in Settings → Fulfillment → Tag ordering.

Create a tag

  1. Open Tags and choose New tag.
  2. Under metadata, add what identifies the spot as Key and Value rows — Table / 12, or Section / B and Seat / 14.
  3. Visible rows (the eye icon) make up the tag's label customers and staff see, such as "Table 12". Drag rows to change the order.
  4. Choose Create tag.

Tags are physical, so they are always live — there is no test-mode copy of a tag.

Making many tags quickly

Turn on Increment Values on Activation/Save and each save bumps the values for the next one — 12 becomes 13, A becomes B — so you can create a room full of tables in a row.

The QR code

Each tag's Tag Details shows its URL, venuerun.com/tag/<tag-id>. Under QR Code you can set its Color, Background, Margin and Error correction, then choose Download QR.

Scanning a tag opens your storefront — or the App Clip on iPhone — with the table already chosen.

Printing

For table cards and stickers with your branding, design a template once and print a copy for every tag. See Print table cards.
