What are common methods for contactless food ordering in Japan

Common methods for contactless food ordering in Japan primarily include the use of QR code ordering systems, mobile apps, and web-based platforms.

QR code ordering is widespread in many restaurants, allowing customers to scan a QR code at their table or on the menu with their smartphones to view the menu and place orders directly. This method is valued for its speed, convenience, and ability to reduce physical contact and queue times.

Mobile apps and web-based ordering platforms are also commonly used, enabling customers to order food for delivery or pickup without direct interaction with staff. These apps often support contactless payment options, further minimizing physical contact.

Overall, Japan has embraced digital solutions like QR code menus and app-based ordering to facilitate contactless food ordering, which has been popularized especially since the COVID-19 pandemic to enhance convenience and safety in dining experiences. ^{1, 2}
