Dear restaurant owners:We ALL hate the QR code menu.

@asmaloney @Uair @cmconseils If a restaurant can't be assed to put their menu on a shitty screen, chalkboard or elsewhere signposted then they certainly ain't worth the money they ask for.

All this #QRcode bullshit does is allow #pricing #discrimination and #Quishing

Call it:

Pornographic menu.

[kkarhan@c.im]

@cmconseils the only reason they do so is to make extra money with #DataBrokers and overcharge people with #PricingDiscrimination!

- Plus it puts every patron at rish of #Quishing and subsequent risks like #DataTheft & #malware!

@cmconseils being able to view the menu at the font size or contrast that's most comfortable (or even necessary for reading!) is a big win over physical menus. But physical menus can be nice, too.

I ate in a restaurant about a year ago that had a QR code to scan to see the menu on your phone. Trouble is my phone would not scan their QR code for some reason. They had no printed menus and did not know the web address that the QR code was supposed to send me. Technology fail.

@cmconseils haha I didnt think about it but yes we does, 🫠

[sloanlance@mastodon.social]

@cmconseils
Agreed. If a restaurant's menu is ONLY available via QR code, that means they didn't want to bother cleaning their menus. If they can't be bothered to do THAT, what ELSE are they not cleaning?

However, if restaurants offer physical menus with an OPTION to see a digital menu via QR code, I appreciate that. Those can be updated easily, be better to read, and cleaner. I don't completely trust restaurants or their previous visitors.

@cmconseils In SEA (Thailand, in particular) QR based menus are the norm & I f*cking hate it. Rarely a restaurant will have a printed menu. & most also require you to order & pay from your phone too.

I don’t really understand the *requirement* to force your customers to have a multiple hundred or even thousands of dollars piece of equipment, have it charged, have a mobile subscription for it, and bring it with them, just to be able to buy a $5 meal – especially in a “3rd world” country.

When I order food online I expect delivery to my house, not delivery to a restaurant table.

@cmconseils QR codes on menus?

@grumpydad @cmconseils qr code for wifi are pretty neat

@lydiaconwell @RealGlob @mkoek @otte_homan @cmconseils

Kinda reminds me of the #Barcode to unlock the gates at the #SelfServiceCheckout at #REWE...

- I did test it (obviously I did pay for what I bought!) and it just worked.

@catmisgivings @hellomiakoda @cmconseils A QR menu that describes the meals as they really are:

"A disappointing, dry endeavour, drowned in a sickly but otherwise tasteless sauce!"
