Time-Based Campaign Routing

The same table tent can show a lunch menu at noon and a dinner menu at 6pm. Journeys schedules routing by weekday and local time, down to the minute, with no staff intervention.

The Challenge

One menu can't fit every daypart

Lunch specials, dinner menus, and happy hour pricing all compete for space on the same printed QR code.

Midnight and weekend windows are hard to manage

Manually swapping destinations for late-night hours or weekend-only promos means someone has to remember to do it.

Server time zones don't match customer time zones

A schedule based on server time shows the wrong content to visitors in a different time zone.

Perfect For

Restaurants & cafés

Serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus automatically from the same table tent or window sticker.

Example: Scan at 8am shows the breakfast menu; scan at 7pm shows dinner.

Bars & happy hour

Route to happy hour pricing only during the scheduled window, and back to standard pricing after.

Example: A single bar coaster QR shows the happy hour menu from 4–6pm.

Weekend & seasonal promos

Turn a weekend-only offer on and off automatically without touching the printed code or in-store signage.

Example: Saturday and Sunday scans see the weekend bundle; weekday scans see the regular page.
