Texas town adding QR codes to restaurant inspection certificates

Plano, Texas will become the first city in the state to offer a Quick Response, or QR, code on the restaurant’s publicly-displayed permit.

In the report, above, by CBS 11′s JD Miles, the owner of the Bavarian Grill got it right when he said something approaching, I’ve been in business 18 years, all As with one B. I want to promote that.

Plano is allowing smartphone owners instant access to health information on the roughly 1,400 restaurants in the city.

Apps like Google’s ‘Goggles’ program can easily read the bar codes, which are supposed to be posted so customers can find them when they can’t see behind the kitchen door.
