Small business
QR codes and links for small business, run from one place
QR codes for small business usually open a menu, take a booking or collect a review. With CTAurl, every table's code points to one menu page, so you update that page and nothing is reprinted.

Menus
Menu QR codes: one per table, one menu to update
A menu QR code on every table tent can open the same menu page, and you update that page in one place. Give each table its own code to see which tables get scanned, and point every code at the same menu page. When prices change, update the menu page, and every table shows the new menu on the next scan.

Bookings
A booking link that looks like your shop in WhatsApp
A booking link for a small business is often sent in a chat. In a 2024 survey commissioned by Meta, 71% of Hong Kong adults said they message businesses on WhatsApp at least once a week, The Standard reported (October 2024). A random code in that chat looks like spam. book-it.now/table-for-two looks like you.
One study looked at how a link affects trust. In three randomised trials with about 3,100 UK adults, a clear official-domain link raised trust compared with an opaque one, and a shortened link had no measurable effect on trust (Journal of Medical Internet Research, August 2026). The study tested official health links, not CTA domains. Send your booking link by SMS, WhatsApp or on your Google listing.
Reviews
A review QR code you can point at any site
A review QR code on the counter can send customers to one review site this month and another next month. Print one code, then change where it goes as your priorities move. The printed card stays the same, and it keeps working even if you cancel later. The exceptions are abuse of the service, a legal requirement, or CTAurl ceasing to operate, in which case we give advance notice and an export (what happens when you stop paying).
How many QR codes does a shop need?
A shop needs about one QR code per table, plus a few for the door, the counter and takeaway bags. Plans count the new QR codes you create each month, and codes from earlier months keep working.
| Your shop | Codes | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Café, 12 tables and a door sticker | 13 | Starter, $6: 10 this month and 3 next month. Or Growth, $12, at once |
| Restaurant, 50 tables | 50 | Growth, $12: 30 this month and 20 next month. Or Scale, $29, at once |
| Five shops, 50 tables each | 250 | Scale, $29: 60 a month, so five months. For more at once, email CTAurl |
Frequently asked questions
How many QR codes does a restaurant need?
A restaurant needs one QR code per table, plus a few for the door, the counter and takeaway bags. Plans count new codes a month: a 50-table restaurant can create 30 on Growth ($12 a month) this month and 20 next month, or all 50 at once on Scale ($29 a month, 60 new codes a month). Five shops of that size need 250 codes, five months on Scale; for more at once, email CTAurl.
Do I need a website?
No. A CTAurl link can open a booking page, a social profile, a form, a map or a PDF menu. When you move to a proper website later, change the destination and the printed codes follow on the next scan.
Can I change the menu without reprinting?
Yes. Point every table's code at one menu page and update that page, and every table opens the new menu on the next scan. If the menu moves to a new address, change the destination of each table's link instead; the printed codes stay the same.
