The check-in was supposed to happen with a QR code. I don’t do that, so I go to the front desk, where the dude, a bit annoyed, checks me in “manually” with my ID. Two minutes.
Another customer comes in. She checks in with the QR code. She stays in front of the sign. I can tell something is wrong. She goes to the front desk and comes back a minute later with a good old clipboard and a form to fill out.
Third customer comes in, goes directly to the front desk. She comes back with the front desk person to:
– connect to the wifi, grab the QR code, fill out the form on her phone and then, go back to the front desk. I guess to “fully” check in?
I’m leaning against the wall, amused. Do you know that QR stands for Quick Response? LMAO
QR codes are unsecured by default. Please do not use them, do not spread them.
You have a front desk? Use it. You want to share a URL? Make it readable/typable (aka website.com/hey). You are a restaurant and you want to share your menu? Simple HTML will do and be 100% viewed on all devices since 2004.
Choose simplicity, choose Life.
