⚠️ Fix before printing the table cardsChange ~~SCAN · ORDER~~ to SCAN · PLAY · WIN · EARN. Ordering is off in the Melody app (since Oct 11), so the cards must not say ORDER. Re-export Melody_Table_Cards_1-40.pdf with the new line, then print.

Zones What to order Priority Avoid Checklist

The rule

Food art + QR goes where people are deciding or waiting: the street window, the door, the hallway to the restrooms, the game room, the patio fence. QR only goes where people are already seated and ordering: tables, the bar, the check.

Highest dwell time: people sit through whole games. Bar stand (#4) every 4 stools, coasters (#5) under drinks, window poster (#1) in the street window by the stage. No sticker on the bar top itself (wet, wiped all day).

Price ranges are estimates from typical VistaPrint, StickerMule, FedEx Office and Amazon list prices; check the live cart before ordering.

Before you print

The table card says "SCAN · ORDER · PLAY · WIN", but on 10-11 Christian turned ordering off in the app. Change the line to "SCAN · PLAY · WIN · EARN" and re-export before printing.
Every new piece (door, bar, host, coaster, check, restroom, hall, patio) points at the short link https://antidotethecure.github.io/melody/?s=<source>, so the app can move without a reprint and each spot can be counted. Scan-verify each one with qrlib.verify.
Every QR piece keeps the small "Powered by SousShift AI · @SousShiftAi" footer in Melody's muted gold on the crimson.
Free extras: a QR line on the Toast receipt footer, a still QR slide in the TV rotation, and a weekly app line on the Jack Daniel's chalkboard.

If the budget is tight, do it in this order

Fix the table-card wording, then print the 1-40 set + 36 stands · $80-135
Every seated guest sees one. Biggest scan driver.
Front window poster + door cling · $70-120
Catches walk-ins and people waiting at the door.
Bar + host cards (same stands) · $10-20
The bar is the longest-stay spot in the room.
Patio weatherproof stickers · $60-80
~84 patio seats with no other QR.
Restroom signs + back-hall 18x24 · $55-115
Guaranteed wait moments.
Bar coasters · $90-180
Great at the bar, but a consumable you reorder.
Check inserts, outdoor coroplast, game-room poster · $110-210
Nice to have. Do last.

What to avoid

Health code: no stickers on or near ice bins, bar wells, prep surfaces, the coffee/server station or anything behind the bar.
Safety and ADA: never cover exit signs, the ADA restroom signs, fire extinguishers, or the yellow ADA pads at the patio doors.
Never on screens: the self-order kiosk, the ATM, TVs or POS terminals.
Glare: the granite bar and glossy wood panels reflect. Order matte finishes and do not mount QRs right under the pendant lights.
Distance: a QR scans from about 10x its width. A 3 in code works within ~30 in; a 24x36 poster QR (~8 in) within ~6-7 ft. Nothing high up under the TVs.
Do not cover the menu or the OPEN/hours decal, and never put a QR on top of someone else's poster (Comedy Joint, Jack Daniel's).
One QR piece per table, max. Too many pieces reads as spam and lowers scans.
Sun and weather: patio and street-window pieces need UV laminate and outdoor vinyl or coroplast.
Pool tables: nothing on the felt or rails.
