Facebook is reportedly planning to add QR code capabilities to an upcoming version of the Facebook mobile app, according to TechCrunch.
A source with knowledge of Facebook’s plans tells us that the QR codes will be used with an upcoming version of Facebook’s mobile app. More specifically, businesses could potentially print out a QR code and put it on a wall or a counter in their venue to allow users to scan it to check-in at that store, we’re told. Facebook is expected to unveil its location plans at its f8 conference in late April.

Each decal has a unique QR code that can be scanned to pull up the business' Place Page; where you can find reviews, coupons, phone numbers etc.
