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?
If you have an online menu, why does it have M.P. (Edit: that stands for Market Price) instead of having the actual price?!?!
I get you can’t reprint the physical menu every day, but if you can update the point of sale computer, you can let me know how much it costs before I order it.
There is a psychological thing where removing the currency symbol from prices will make people more likely to pay more as they dont associatie the number with price.
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.
Related - I hate having that goddamned tablet at the table.
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.
You misunderstood my comment if that’s what you walked away with.
points to self, former wait staff
Ms. would have come across a little better. Boomer feminism appreciates the distinction.
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
an integrated PDF into the page, not even a stand-alone blob PDF
A date night is better when both leave their phones at home. Or at least away for the date.
This sucks.
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.
Ok, while we are on this one

Mp? Mama points or multiplayer?

I don’t mind the qr code thing if there are also paper menus available, but yeah.
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.

This is the most tech I want to see at the table:
As a patron and as a former waiter, this is both the minimum and the maximum tech I want.
