Well said

As an ex retail monkey I agree here

Typically means "you will be overworked and underpaid so that you can achieve the owner's financial expectations while you are given free pizza on Friday (but only if you provide excellent results)".

Only reason Darian doesn't wear a cape is because it'd be an OSHA violation.

Her: So is it processed or not?

Well, that still makes him the chef

I mean, it's nice option to have but shouldn't be the only one

Uh-huh. Cos a normal menu fits so tidily on my itty bitty phone screen.

Nope fu qr codes

Yeah, 100%. When I go on vacation my phone isn’t touched. Hated carrying it around to view all of the menus.

Yep. You hand me everything else, you can hand me a freaking menu.

Seriously. Im only 30 and feel like throwing a b***h fit if they don't wanna give me a f*****g real menu

Me too... I don't even have a smartphone.

Our local Starbucks during the pandemic only let customers in if they scanned the QR code. My parents, in their 80s went there at least 3 times every week before Covid. Neither of them has a smart phone, one doesn’t even have a mobile (he’s not allowed one and no, I’m not going to explain why). Wouldn’t let them in even when they asked if they could write their details down. Not been back since. Doubt Starbucks will miss 2 pensioners.

I hate the QR codes but I also have a deep hatred of cell phones so I don't know if it is me hating QR codes, or the fact that I hate having a phone. Normally I don't even have it on me. I only got one cause my husband kept begging me and I only use it to assure him I am alive and to wake me up in the morning.

I can't upvote this enough!

Pros: It's easier for the restaurant to keep it up to date. It's cheap. They can have color photos of every dish. Cons: A cell phone screen is too small to see much of the menu at one view.

I don't know how clean a menu is or who touched/fondled it before me. I like scanning QR codes.

Just give me a menu. It doesn't have to be fancy just in my physical presence. I'm already hungry, this is just too much. Give me a damn menu.

Like really, if you don't have a phone like some costumers of casual restaurants do you are stuck.

You insist on doing this then give me free WiFi, not be in a 5G blackspot.

If the online menu is well-designed, then I'm OK with it (yeah, that's rare, but it does happen). And I'd much prefer that to the tattered, sticky menu that someone forgot to clean and has weird-ass stains all over. Now, the QR code on the bill? I hope they NEVER get rid of that.

This is probably going to become more normal both because of covid and the money saved not printing or otherwise maintaining printed menus can be used to help offset increased wages.

It's when it's the ONLY option that sucks. My phone doesn't even scan QR code XD

My 60+ year old parents mastered this before I did. From an industry standpoint it makes great sense, but for the customer it can be a hassle

Thank you! 50% of the time it doesnt even work

I hate this.

Not gonna sit in a dim restaurant trying to read a damn menu on my phone to order some food. I would be too hangry to order and would just give up and go to McNasty's!

It was fun the first couple times. Now equivalent to self-check at grocery.

More of the entitled attitude of "YOU should accommodate our laziness that we call being technologically relevant and if not, YOU'RE old; out-of-date; infringing on our freedoms; etc." AND pay us for doing extra work to give us your money.

Introvert here. If I could order and pay on the app through that QR code and not have to interact with anyone, that'd be great.

Or download a pdf from your website

I stopped going to one of my favorite restaurants because they decided to go with this "improvement".

I do not have a smart phone. I have a flip phone and I never know where it is. I do not want people calling me 24/7. If I go somewhere I always go with friends who do have smart phones. If I go to a restaurant I want a printed menu. Several restaurants around here tried to go "scanning" and within a month they were providing printed menus because NO ONE wanted to scan the menu.

i like online menus.. but so often they rnt updated or the QR doesnt work... its sad

What's a QR code? Wait. Never mind. Wheel of Fortune is on...

Nice idea except for those like me who can't scan QR codes so I'm SOL

okay cool. then go away.

This happened to me a while ago: menu is QR code only. It doesn’t have the option to order tea as in, no tea on the menu. My friends order beer etc from the menu. Waiter comes to deliver the beers. Me: can I order a cup of tea? Waiter: yeah, sure. I’ll bring it to you. Brings a cup of tea. This doesn’t make sense right?

Good god

Wow! 👏

You mean the Sorbonne.

That's a fit!

We do tend to be quite open in this business.
