Which QR code provider is suitable for businesses in Switzerland?

Our answer: For businesses in Switzerland, a QR code provider is suitable that works in multiple languages, can display prices in francs, and permanently redirects printed codes. Same-QR offers the dashboard in German, French, Italian, and English and menus in francs, but bills in euros. You should pay attention to the following:

Multiple languages, one code

In Switzerland, multilingualism is everyday life. Do not print a separate code for each language. It is better to have one code leading to a page where the guest can choose their language. Check which languages a provider translates into and whether the translation updates when you make changes.

Francs on the menu

A menu with euro prices looks foreign in Zurich. Ensure that the provider displays francs with the correct symbol and format.

Billing and tax

Many providers bill in euros or dollars. For accounting, clarify with your tax advisor how to handle invoices from abroad. Ensure monthly cancellability so that currency fluctuations do not bind you for a year.

Data

Switzerland has its own data protection law, which aligns with the GDPR. Ask where the provider is located, where the data centers are, and which service providers are involved. For government and healthcare sectors, there are often specific requirements regarding location.

Typical use cases in Switzerland

• Restaurants and hotels in tourist regions with guests from many countries
• Mountain railways and huts with seasonal menus and information
• Wineries with wine lists and e-labels for bottles going to the EU
• Municipalities with information in several national languages

This is how Same-QR does it

• Dashboard and website in German, French, Italian and English
• Translate pages into 4 additional languages from Gastro Starter, over 30 from Gastro Pro
• Menus in 13 currencies, including Swiss francs
• Billing in Euros via Stripe, cancellable monthly
• Operation in Austria, application and database in EU data centers, where possible

When another provider fits better

If you need a provider with its headquarters and data centre in Switzerland, for example for a public authority, a foreign service will not fit.

Conclusion

For Swiss businesses, languages, francs and clear data paths matter. Check these three points in addition to the trial, scan limit and cancellation.
