In short: menuQR counts how often your menu is opened, how many guests are behind those views, how long they read — and splits that by weekday and hour. The numbers belong to the individual menu, not to the account: you can see whether the wine list gets read and the lunch menu does not. It runs without cookies and without user profiles; you learn how many guests and when, not who.
The four metrics
| Metric | Meaning | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Views | how often the menu page was opened | overall use of the menu |
| Visitors | how many sessions are behind them | views versus guests |
| Read time | average time spent reading | whether the menu carries or overwhelms |
| Distribution | views by weekday and hour | staffing and menu rotation |
Weekday and hour: staffing
The interesting number is the distribution. If views peak between noon and 2 pm, the table tent works; if they stay low while the house is full, look at size, contrast and placement — three dials you can change in minutes. If Friday evening views are double Tuesday's, you staff for it.
The distribution is computed server-side for the selected period, not estimated from a total. That also holds for Sundays and daylight saving: the mapping follows your account's timezone.
What you can answer with them
The numbers answer three questions: how many guests open the menu, when they do it and how long they read. They do not identify people — no profiles, no cross-device recognition, no advertising IDs. That is exactly why the guest page needs no cookie banner and you collect no consents you do not need.
Compare menus instead of adding up an account
Because every menu has its own numbers, menus can be set against each other: lunch versus dinner, German versus English, before and after a price change. The data export hands out the same numbers as a table when you want to calculate further.
