I don't even get this. * do they put up signs, and make sure not to let you in, if you don't have a phone?! * what if it just doesn't work with your phone. y

  You can of course pay via card or cash too, but the default experience is the waiter leaving the check with a QR code on your table, expecting you to pay by scanning it. I‘ve seen a variation of this (in the UK) where they really only bring a QR code, and you can‘t even read the amount without a phone. Presumably you have to ask for a printed check if you want to pay by cash or card, introducing another unnecessary step into the process. (Coincidentally they also initially brought me the wrong QR code since they are only labeled very discreetly, momentarily shocking me with a large group‘s check.)

    Well, that's just silly. The bill could have the full receipt, and a QR code easily enough. The only reason to make it an either/or, is to try to force it. I'd tip less, as a result too. Most places I worked at, has pooled tipping, meaning even the bus boy got some of the take. But regardless, if my food is cold, or tasteless, I tip less too. My tip is some for the waiter's service, some for everything else. And having to wait for a real receipt, and I presume eyerolling is part of it, would mean a lesser tip. If someone thinks that unfair, then I say the same to them, as to the waiter. Find a different job, where the employer cares about customer satisfaction.
