I went to a restaurant that had the barcode menu. I prefer a physical menu, but fine whatever. The problem was, there was no reception inside the restaurant, and you couldn't connect to their wifi for whatever reason.

This happened to me recently as well, but while traveling when I was low on data. Like ok, I will use your stupid QR code menu, but then you better provide free functional wifi.

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know why but the QR menus just piss me off in a service restaurant. I won't use em (been bailed out by a date more than once).

For a counter place where they are just slinging me the food? Ok I guess. But if we're out paying for a dinner that'll hopefully lead to nookie, phones should be the last thing on the table.

[-] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'd just walk out if the restaurant can't afford menus

[-] eendjes@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Doubly egregious when you have one of those annoying GDPR windows that make opting out a hassle just to view the menu. I’ve left restaurants over this.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

for bonus points, the website uses 15 web frameworks and you have to click your way to a gallery of jpeg images for every page of the menu (obviously incompatible with half the mobile browsers so none of this even attempts to render).

Don't they legally have to have gdpr options?

[-] DecentM@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Not if they don't track you. As far as I understand the fabled cookie law, you only need to have that notice if you're using cookies in a way that's not strictly necessary for the site's functionality.

I'll have the 4 dots in an L shape, that looks good.

[-] Cap@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I've been to a dine-in movie theater that had QR codes for the menu. Problem is, I typically don't bring my phone to a movie AND since you can order during the movie, who wants people turning their phones on to read a menu?

I don't often agree with boomer takes, but I agree with this one.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 0 points 1 year ago

I went on a date and both of our phones were dead lol

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

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

[-] sock@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Daisyifyoudo@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Daisyifyoudo@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

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

[-] gvasco@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Disagree, this is 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.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I guess I'll have the dinosaur in the middle of the QR code

[-] nudnyekscentryk@szmer.info 1 points 1 year ago

I'm with boomers on this. It's even worse if it redirects you to their FB page

[-] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

If I have to log into fucking facebook to see a goddamn menu I'm leaving.

[-] leaf@feddit.nl 0 points 1 year ago

Am I the only one that doesn't mind these? You're all acting like you're being asked to murder somebody.

[-] averyfalken@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

that I have had experiences with these websites having trackers and advertisements on the menu sites yes

Eta also what if my battery is dead or I got shit connection

[-] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

That's not a menu! That's a QR code!

So I threw it on the ground
