I don't mind this when it's done well. I'm going to have to mess with something to find out what food the restaurant sells and my phone is about as good an option as any. It can allow easier menu changes, inclusion of specials, and the like.
In practice, however most restaurants seem to go for a PDF of their previous menu design formatted for printing on a paper many times the size of my phone. That's a bad experience and restaurants that do it deserve to lose business over it. I'm reminded of about a decade long period not long ago when a restaurant website was more likely to have animations and music than the hours and menu.
- NonNefarious 4y agoMenus on phones blow. It's a pain in the ass to fussily scroll around on a dinky screen and try to remember what has scrolled away that you were interested in, instead of being able to glance across a page. I sympathize with the PITA of changing printed menus, but that's part of what you pay for. If I go out, I'm not paying for a lunch-counter experience. E-paper menus would be a pretty good compromise, if they could be made practical.
