  I don’t think wanting a physical menu to look at is unreasonable for any generation.

    or spend like 30 minutes making a decent website i swear online menus are the most asinine thing at every restaurant.

    i don’t even require a menu just give me a list with name, price, and ingredients im good. maybe a touch of heirarchy but like then im good.

  Yeah sorry, if I can view the menu from my phone instead of touching a menu that 6000 other people have touched, without having to deal with either the server taking it away or it being in the way on my table, I don’t see why I would want or need an actual physical menu

    I don’t see why I should need to pull up my phone to order food at a restaurant.

      I don’t think you should “have to”. I think physical menus should always be available. But if both are available, I certainly think the digital is superior in every way

        Fair enough. Both is better

    The option still seems pretty nice to have.

    QR codes as menus are a security risk. A bad actor could make up some stickers and put them on the table in place of the menu QR code. The code could then take the user to a malicious site, that they think they should be able to trust.

      Even a restaurant’s legit web site may require cookies or some other thing that not everyone is comfortable with

    • Daisyifyoudo@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I see your point, but that seems highly improbable. That a bad actor would be willing and able to successfully create a QR Code that looks enough like the restaurant’s QR and that neither the patrons nor the establishment itself would notice. Not only improbable, but the roi for the scammer seems very poor.

        No one working at the restaurant is analyzing the pixels in a QR code to see if they are in the right spot. A QR looks like a QR code. Show someone 10 QR codes and ask them to pick the one from their restaurant, no way anyone is getting that right based on anything more than dumb luck.

        The fake one could even forward on to the normal menu after it does the nasty bits, assuming it’s just installing something that will run in the background. This seems like a great way to get some malware out into the wild, especially if it can’t self-replicate.

    I’m with you on this, I live in a country where a digital menu is not a given and I hate it more than people who prefer physical menus seem to hate digital menus. I do agree that both should be available as an option

    Your phone is 10x dirty as a toilet seat

      You’ve never seen my phone. And I don’t use it as a toilet seat.

  Disagree, this ils one of those changes that not only is very hyginic but also has a juge impact on reducing the amount of work for staff.

  I won’t disagree however that they could still have menus available for the instances people don’t have a smartphone or are having problems with their smartphone. However, overall the impacts are mostly positive aside from incoviniencing the customer slightly to look at the menu on their phone.

    The entire point of going out to eat is customer service. If I didn’t want things like this handled for me I would eat at home. “Slightly inconveniencing the customer” is not acceptable.

    What’s worse is I’m now expected to tip 20% to a person that basically runs my food and fucks off. Id be fine with it if I picked up my food at a window. Why am I tipping someone so much money when all they do is deliver food? No talking, no taking an order, no checking in, not even bringing a bill. I was at a brewery recently with one of those order online and bring it to your table setups. I asked for some ketchup when they brought the food and they told me I had to order it through the website. Not going back.
