You know? Maybe I know why you are here…
Let's see…
You are here because you want to see what you are going to order when the waiter arrives, now, in two minutes to take note of what you want to eat.
Also, there is only one code on the table, and you are the one who has to open the menu and share it with the rest.
Logically, because you are the only one at the table who knows how to do something like that...
Or so they want you to think…
I tell you this because what I'm about to tell you might interest you.
Look…
About two months ago, while I was sharing a table with my wife, my mother-in-law, my sister-in-law, my father-in-law, and my dog, at a place we go to every other weekend, it was NOT my turn to scan the menu and share it with the rest (it’s always my turn, but not that day).
I already had this idea in mind, the idea of this app, and when my wife started to scan the menu, I did something else...
I dedicated myself to observing.
Observing.
Observing how she used the application for the menu.
How the other people who were also there used it, whether they were there to eat or for some other reason.
I watched, watched, and watched...
Blip, ahhh
Blip, (elbow in the ribs) look at this
Blip, how much does the steak cost? And the lamb? Ahhhh, okay.
Blip… Pass me the menu.
And so, one after another.
I watched to understand how those people, whom I didn't know at all, and who didn't know me, used an application to see what they were going to put in their stomachs 20 minutes after closing that application.
Ah! And, 1 hour and 20 minutes later, what was going to come out of the same stomach after using the application. Important.
And by doing this, I noticed that there was a problem…
(A problem for which we are here)
The case was that the person at the table in charge of opening the menu didn't know how to share it with the rest.
Either because the application poorly specifies how to do it (User Experience).
Because it is not indicated correctly (User Interface).
Or, and most likely, because of the ignorance of the person trying (unsuccessfully) to share the menu with the one sitting in front of them.
At that very moment, absorbed in my observation, my wife snapped me out of my daze to ask me… Guess what.
Aitor, how do I pass the menu?
And the rest is history.
This is what you will find in the application:
QCS is a QR code reader application designed to quickly read restaurant menus.
We have worked to ensure our scanner can read QR codes on any surface, regardless of its condition.
There are many similar applications, but we seek to change that. Not everyone uses a QR code reader in the same way or for the same purpose.
Also, you can scan Wifi QR codes to see the password or connect directly.
You can download the generated QR code or send it through another application.
You can also read QR codes on books and covers, and search for references in the books section of the selected search engine.
In the QR code generation section, you can create your own codes for:
• Clipboard content
• Web link
• Wifi access
• Facebook
• WhatsApp
• YouTube
• Text in a form
• VCard contact
• Phone
• Email
• SMS
• Your personal VCard
• PayPal.me link
• Instagram
• Twitter
You can scan QR codes with the selfie camera. Just tap a button and that’s it.
You can also scan QR codes to search for prices and product details.
If you're interested, download the QR code scanner application. If not, good luck.
