To be fair, telling people to scan QR codes with their phones is a huge phishing vector. I’ve seen a few places with new stickers over the first one, which is very easy to do. Is it an updated menu? Or a scam page for a session stealer?
I’d be inclined to blame the restaurant for that one. The designer would normally be making it for print, in which case higher quality is better. If the restaurant wants a digital menu, they should ask for that.
I know a bar that does this but you can place orders for the table (your friends too and you can see their orders), call the waiter and pay the bill. I was impressed it was functional.
Menus at restaurants are to be printed not via a QR code and a shitty website.
I FUCKING HATE QR CODE MENUS SO MUUUUCH!!!
If your wifi is bad or I just don’t want to wait to load a tiny goddamn webpage, I’m gone.
It’s really not hard to print a menu for a restaurant. The minimal amount of effort.

☝️ this is it.

I’ll accept a tablet. But the first time it malfunctions, Miss Minimum Wage is standing at the table writing my order down on paper.
I’ll accept a tablet, but not that condescending attitude towards restaurant workers.
Or worse a PDF of the menu.
That is 500Mb+ because the ‘designer’ just stuffed the highest quality image in they could as a background on the whole thing

I feel like this is probably common sense. The council of people over 20 have decided this months ago, and it should become law any minute now.
I’ve seen restaurant where you need to order on a smartphone. That’s just ridiculous
That’s just less tip for the server if I have to do their job for them.
