What is a QR code? Using it in a store, a restaurant and WhatsApp

The short answer
A QR code is a square symbol holding text or a link that a phone camera reads in a second. Unlike a line barcode holding a short number, a QR holds a whole link, so it opens a page, a WhatsApp chat with a ready message, or a menu.

Why does QR code matter to a seller?
Because it turns paper and place into a conversation: a sticker in the shop, a card in the order, or a sheet on a restaurant table opens WhatsApp with a written message, without the customer saving a number.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a QR and a barcode?
A line barcode holds a short number such as a product code; a QR holds a link or longer text and is scanned with the camera directly.
Is making a QR free?
Yes, from the WhatsApp QR generator or the restaurant menu with no sign-up.
Does the QR change if I change the message?
Yes, the message is part of the link inside the code; print the code once your message is final.
