What are QR codes and why use QR codes today?

You’ve probably seen QR codes at restaurants to view menus and order, but there are many other uses. In fact, QR codes were invented in 1994 to label and track automobile parts for the Japanese company Denso Wave. Now, QR codes are used more broadly. Beyond menus, common uses are for marketing campaigns and loyalty programs, events, education, and social media, because they give instant access, trackability, and mobile-first engagement.

QR codes are used for sharing large amounts of information, and they often take you to a website without having to type in the URL yourself.
