“Web page menu” does not distinguish it from the existing practice of a restaurant putting its menu on its website, so that you can read the menu before you visit. Nobody has any problem with that. The problem is most certainly the QR code. The QR code is what is requiring me to have a charged phone (= phone+power bank+charging cable) to read the damn menu. If they gave people devices to read the menu on (e.g. how McDonalds does it) then it would be less problematic.

Fine, how about calling the practice as "web-only menus on customer's device"? Even if the restaurant didn't use QR Codes, if the table said "Visit restaurant.com/menu", then you would still be forced to pull out your phone. The QR Code is just a way to convey a URL, and there are definitely alternatives like manually typing one.
