Static QR vs live service.
A static QR code can show a menu. MenuSuite is for restaurants that need the scan to start a real service flow.

Is static QR still useful?

Why would a restaurant move to MenuSuite?
Because the restaurant needs QR ordering, staff approval, service requests, kitchen handoff, and branch control.

Start with the job. A menu link is enough for browsing. MenuSuite fits when table orders, service requests, staff review, and kitchen handoff need to stay connected.
