Scratch & win with a QR code

The classic: many codes, a few win something small. The customer scans right there, on the cup, the receipt or the table, and knows at once.

    Photorealistic lifestyle photo, landscape 3:2 (1536 x 1024). A paper placemat on a Greek taverna table with a QR code and a small drawing of a gift box, a table card with another QR code standing beside a plate of grilled food and a glass of retsina. Seaside in the background, softly blurred. The QR code is a clean, generic black-and-white QR pattern, sharp and in focus, clearly the subject of the photo. Warm natural light, shallow depth of field, soft shadows, editorial magazine look. Colour palette: warm off-white (#F4F2ED), charcoal (#16181D) and muted gold accents (#C9952B). No readable text, letters, numbers, logos or brand names anywhere in the image, no watermark. If people appear, show only hands or people from behind, never a recognisable face.

Frequently asked questions

How many codes should win?

For a café or bakery, 1 in 3 to 1 in 5 works well: enough winners to talk about it, not so many that it costs. The wizard shows the odds live.

Can someone reuse the same code?

The verification code is unique. Once you mark it as collected, its page says “collected” and the counter sees it.

Do I reprint for new prizes?

No. You change prizes, quantities and texts in the giveaway. The printed codes stay the same.

What about a second round?

Reset the codes that were opened, or shuffle the prizes again. Or make a new giveaway with another setup.

Set up scratch & win in minutes

The setup opens ready in the wizard, with prizes and texts. Change whatever you like. No card. Plain QR codes stay free, with no sign-up, as always.
