I dated a girl with poor eyesight, and absent a digital version her method was the phone flashlight and holding the menu very close to her face. So the physical version was workable, but a pinch to zoom is still more dignified.
- wlesieutre 5y agoYes, that or taking photos of each page and then browsing them on the phone. Either way it's worse than a good phone menu. Personally I'd rather have a paper menu, but digital ones can definitely be more accessible for low vision. I say can because half of the digital ones are godawful UX disasters.
- nsxwolf 5y agoOh certainly. Put the QR code on the paper menu.
- wlesieutre 5y agoSure, and go back to having to reprint all the menus every time you want to change something or update prices, needing extras for when menus get destroyed, paying people to wipe menus down if you have them laminated, etc. As much as I prefer paper menus, I don't think the restaurants that have switched are going to go back to it. Would have better luck pressuring them to have less shit electronic menus.
- Talanes 5y agoPaper menus on request seems like the obvious middle ground. Not defaulting to putting menus out reduces the scale of all those problems, while also not alienating customers who for whatever reason don't want to or cannot use the digital menu.
- wlesieutre 5y agoDefinitely agreed. I still know a couple of people who don't have smartphones, and even with smartphones you might have a dead battery, a low battery that they don't want to waste on a menu, a busted camera, or for whatever other reason be better off with a piece of paper. Keeping a few real menus handy would be the best way to handle it.
