1. Shared Recipe Library

A QR on the kitchen wall links to the community recipe collection, scaled for batch cooking, with allergen information. Volunteer cooks access the current recipe without a physical binder.

2. Volunteer Roster

A QR links to the volunteer sign-up page for the week's shifts. Volunteers claim a slot, add their name, and receive an automatic reminder the day before.

3. Donation Drive

A QR on donation signage links to the priority items list: what is most needed this week. Donors bring relevant items instead of whatever is at the back of their cupboard.

4. Food Safety Records

A QR links to the food safety log: temperature records, cleaning schedules, and hygiene certification. Required by most food safety regulations and available to inspectors on request.
