Features

Print your QR code once. Stay in control of where it goes, and see how it's doing, for as long as you need it.

Switch software without reprinting

Moving to new menu software, a different booking system or a rebuilt website usually means new links, and every printed code pointing at the old ones stops working. Your Q4 code points at Q4, and Q4 points wherever you need it. Change the link in one place and every code you've printed follows.

A code's page in Q4: its QR code with a café logo, the link it sends people to, and its link history showing a move from a PDF menu to new ordering software, with scans counted for each.
☷

Paste a link, get a code

Paste the link you want people to land on and your code is ready to download. There's also a bookmarklet that makes a code for whatever page you're on.

↻

Change where it sends people, anytime

New menu, new offer, new season. Update where a code sends people whenever you like. The code itself never changes, so there's nothing to reprint.

Editing a code: change the link it sends people to, its label and tags, and optionally start a new campaign. A panel explains that every printed copy follows the change.

See how your codes are performing

Scans and people over time, and when in the week people scan. Bots, link previews and security scanners are reported separately, so your numbers reflect real people. Higher plans keep more history to spot longer-term trends.

Stats for this month: totals for scans, people and unique visitors, and a daily chart separating people from automated traffic.
🌎

Where and how people scan

See which countries and cities scans come from, the devices and browsers people use, the languages they speak, and the sites and apps that send them your link.

Stats broken down by source, traffic type, device, operating system, browser and country, with Ireland first, then the United States and United Kingdom.
⚑

Campaigns Selected plans

UTM tags on your links pass straight through to where the code sends people, so your own analytics still see them, and Q4 reports by campaign too. When you change where a code sends people, start a new campaign and compare each one's results on the same code.

A code's stats for its current campaign, counted from the day its link was changed.

Organise lots of codes Selected plans

Label every code so you know what it's for. With many codes, add tags, then search, sort and filter them in a compact list.

A safety page people can trust

QR phishing is on the rise, and people are right to be wary. By default, people who scan see your logo and where they're heading before they get there. On selected plans, send them straight to your link instead.

On a phone: the café's logo, the link the person is heading to, a Continue button and a short countdown.

One short link, everywhere

Every code comes with a short link for emails, social posts and messages. Scans and clicks are counted together, and you can see which is which.

✎

Custom short codes Selected plans

Choose a short link people can read, remember and type, like q4.ie/MENU, instead of a random one.

☉

Your brand, front and centre

Add your logo to the middle of your code. On selected plans, remove q4.ie branding altogether.

Built for teams

Invite colleagues to your organisation to manage codes together. Sign in with a password, an email link or Google.

Privacy and security at the heart of what we do

Built in Ireland under EU data protection law, for your data and for the people who scan your codes.

GDPR by design

Q4 is made by an Irish company and built to comply with the GDPR from the ground up. We collect only what's needed to run the service.

We count scans, not people

Scanning a code sets no cookies and builds no profiles. Your stats are totals, with no IP addresses or individual visitors in them.

Secure throughout

Encrypted connections everywhere, passwords stored only as secure hashes, and passwordless sign-in if you prefer.
