QR Code Feedback: The Complete Guide

Everything you need to know about collecting feedback via QR codes. Setup, placement, best practices, and why QR beats traditional forms.

Why QR Codes for Feedback?

QR codes solve the biggest problem in feedback collection: friction.

Traditional methods require:

  • Finding a survey link
  • Opening a browser
  • Loading a form
  • Typing responses
  • Submitting
QR codes require:
  • Pointing your camera at a code
  • Speaking
That's it. The friction reduction is why QR feedback gets 6-10x higher response rates than email surveys.

Best Practices for QR Code Placement

Where to Place QR Codes

Hospitality:
  • Receipts and bill holders
  • Table tents and menus
  • Room cards and key holders
  • Exit areas and lobbies
  • Elevator walls
Retail:
  • Checkout counters
  • Fitting rooms
  • Customer service desks
  • Product displays (for product-specific feedback)
Workplace:
  • Break rooms and kitchens
  • Meeting room doors
  • Elevator lobbies
  • Reception desks
  • Bathroom mirrors (surprisingly effective)
Education:
  • Classroom exits
  • Student union boards
  • Library study areas
  • Lab stations

Design Tips

  1. Include a clear call-to-action: "Scan to share your experience" works better than just a QR code
  2. Keep it visible: Minimum 2x2 inches for easy scanning
  3. High contrast: Dark code on light background
  4. Add your logo: Branded QR codes build trust
  5. Include context: "How was your meal?" next to the code

QR + Voice: The Winning Combination

QR codes are the delivery mechanism. Voice is the medium. Together:

  • No typing required — people speak naturally
  • Captures emotion — tone reveals what text hides
  • 3-5x more detail — people explain, not just rate
  • 60 seconds — fast enough for anyone
  • AI analyzes — transcription, sentiment, themes
