What a hosted page is
It is the same AI agent a website would carry in a chat bubble, opened full screen at a link of its own. It answers from whatever you uploaded, your menu, your price list, your hours, your policies, and it cites the source. There is nothing to host and nothing to design; it exists the moment your account does, with your name and colors on it.
Where the QR code goes
Anywhere a customer is already standing, holding a phone:
- On the menu and the table tent, so the allergen question is asked of the agent instead of the server mid-rush.
- In the window, for the person deciding whether to come in and whether you are open tomorrow.
- On the receipt, for the customer who wants to order again next week.
- On the van, the flyer and the business card for a trade; the question "do you cover my area" gets answered before the call.
- In the Instagram bio, as the link, which is where the code's address goes when there is no paper.
What happens when someone scans it
They get a page that answers. Hours, what is in the dish, whether there is parking, what the cancellation policy is, in the language they typed. If you have turned ordering on, they order from the menu you uploaded, choose their options, pay by card or at the counter, and the order arrives with you by email or text, in the dashboard, and on a kitchen screen if you run one. If you have turned bookings on, they pick a time and both of you get a calendar invitation. None of this needed a website.
Ordering from a scan, specifically
The menu does the work. Upload it as the PDF or the photo you already have and the dishes, prices and options are read out of it into a list you can correct. Orders are matched to that list, so the agent cannot sell a dish you do not make or a size you do not do, each line is priced from your menu, and a dish you have marked as off for the day is refused by name. Payment by card runs through your own payment account; a customer who prefers to pay at the counter can choose that, and the order still reaches the kitchen the same way.
Setting it up
Create the account, upload what you have, and ask it a few of the questions your customers ask. When the answers are right, turn on the hosted page from the dashboard, which gives you the link and a QR code to download and print. Put the link in the bio first, because that costs nothing and tells you within a day whether people use it.
When you do get a website
Nothing changes. The same agent goes onto the site as a chat bubble with one line of code, answering from the same content, taking the same orders. The QR codes you printed keep working, because they point at the hosted page, and the hosted page keeps existing. The site is an addition, not a migration.
