Side of vehicle: live location and opening hours
Event banner: order link and social profiles

Common mistakes and practical checks

Avoid codes that are hard to scan from a moving line or in sunlight glare
Do not link to a large menu PDF without a clear action label
Test the code at the exact spot where people will stop
Keep the call to action short, such as “Scan for menu”
