For a long time I thought QR Code menus were a great idea. But seeing user reactions like this made me re-evaluate a lot of my project ideas.
I get it, the convenience of having a simple menu in hand (0 steps) vs. a QR code menu (5-6 steps) trumps whatever interactivity the latter menu provides.
I guess the expectation of users sitting in a restaurant is to move away from their phones and technology and move towards socializing and a QR menu brings those back onto the table.
- bombcar 4y agoThere's a lot of tech like this - it's flashy, it seems great, but it just doesn't work well enough to be a game changer. To go to extra steps you need to get extra value (and not just "use our app and save 5$" type of value) - something like being able to save custom variations from previous visits, order before and have it nearly ready, etc. Anyways, off to raise $50m for QR-menus-on-the-blockchain, wish me luck.

Yes, but on the other hand the QR ordering I've done here in Singapore streamlines a lot of other steps from the rest of the ordering-food-and-paying process. It's especially useful that you no longer have to synchronize with wait staff. You can just order and pay whenever.
