Yeh, I could photograph and use OCR on the menu, but it's not as reliable because of the varying quality of the printed menu text. A second thing was realising that the realtime OCR wasn't as good as an image and then scanning afterwards. However, that still doesn't address the issue of having to communicate! I guess I also found QR Code menus to generally have more pics than printed ones, so it covered off both of those issues. I should add that the QR codes were not just the menu, but also your table so when you placed an order through Wechat it knew what table you were at so they'd literally just bring it over when it's ready.
