It is not for tech sake, this is building a database. Never attribute to incompetence what can be adequately explained by bogus engagement KPIs

- dgb23 5y agoOrders are typically stored anyways?
- atatatat 5y agoBut not how long you stared at the deserts, or what side of the "give me lobster" button you pressed.
- tomrod 5y agoMeaningless and trivial metrics, ultimately. Third order at best.
- bluGill 5y agoProbably, but it is still data that is cheap to store. IF someone can find something useful in just 1% of those things 10 years from now all the cost to collect and store all that data will be worth the investment - or so they hope. They probably will too - the cost vs reward is very skewed.
- w0m 5y agoMaybe eventually; I haven't seen a PointOfSale system that worked remotely well enough I thought they could be competent to implement in a useful way. I tend to not jump to malicious that can be attributed to virtue signaling and/or incompetence.
- tdumitrescu 5y agoMost of the restaurants I've been to the QR code takes you to a PDF of the menu as found on the restaurant's website. There's no auth and no way to track anything beyond I guess how many times people opened the menu file. Restaurants aren't doing this for tracking, they're doing it to stay on the good side of public health regulations in a period where they've learned they can be forcibly closed with barely any warning.
