About Generify
Generify turns your order ID into a scannable QR code for your dining hall, in a couple of taps and without asking anything about you.
What it is
Generify is a small, free utility with one job: producing the order QR code you show at a dining hall counter. You choose which hall and counter you ordered from, type your order ID, and it draws the code.
The only thing you have to supply is your order ID. There is no form asking for a name, an email address, a phone number or a student number, because none of those are needed to build the code and none of them are wanted.
It was built because the alternative was fiddly. Getting a code onto a screen at a counter should take two taps and work whether or not the mess hall Wi-Fi does.
How it works
- 1
Pick your hall and counter
DH1, DH2 or DH3, and whether you ordered at the sit-down counter or Grab-And-Go.
- 2
Enter your order ID
Today's opening digits are filled in for you, so most of the time you only type the rest.
- 3
Show, download or share
The code appears immediately. Save it as an image, send it on, or just hold up your screen.
The sitting is worked out from the clock, so the code matches the service running when you made it. The mess timings page lists every hall’s serving windows.
How it treats you
It runs on your device
The QR code is drawn in your browser. Nothing you enter is uploaded, and there is no server holding a copy of it.
It never asks who you are
No sign-up, no account, no email, no phone number. There is nothing to register and nothing to log in to.
It forgets quickly
Codes you make are listed for 24 hours so you can reopen one, then erased from your browser automatically.
It works offline
Add it to your home screen and it keeps working with no signal, because generating a code needs no network at all.
What it deliberately does not do
Generify draws QR codes. It does not place orders, take payments, deliver anything, or confirm that an order exists — and it has no connection to any ordering platform. It cannot tell whether an order ID is real, because it never checks one against anything. It simply encodes what you typed.
It also never reads a QR code. There is no camera access and no image uploader anywhere on this site; the only direction it works in is drawing one.
It is a general-purpose QR generator in no sense at all. It makes dining hall order codes and nothing else — no website links, no WiFi credentials, no contact cards.
