A modern restaurant using QR codes for order tracking

Using QR codes for order tracking

If you came here for order tracking, QR Code Status Tracker is the easiest path when your orders already live in Google Sheets™ and need clear validation, picking, packing, or dispatch statuses.

Preferred path for order tracking: use QR Code Status Tracker. It sets up Trak for you, so you can start from the spreadsheet you already use: each spreadsheet row can represent a physical order or item moving through named statuses, with scan history and customer updates. Read the user manual.

Use a custom Trak setup when order tracking needs richer order fields, structured per-step forms, GPS, signatures, dynamic locations, or integrations.

  • Google Sheets™: best when you already have an order list or fulfillment sheet; start with Status Tracker. The Google Sheets™ add-on docs remain available for other sheet-based workflows.
  • Google Forms: useful when order intake starts from a form; see the Google Forms add-on docs.
  • Custom Trak setup: best for richer order details and connected workflows.
