Hard disagree. I love Web menus like these, because it means I don't have wait staff constantly disturbing my conversation. In Australia, a lot of them are rigged up so that - even if I'm paying for the meal on my tab - the person I'm dining with can order from their phone instead of the "pass my phone around the table" dance that you describe. No more "sir are you ready to order" when we haven't even glanced at the menu yet at restaurants. No more "can I get you another drink". No more desperately trying to attract the attention of waitstaff. No more "oh whose round is it now" and trying to remember 8 different orders when you're out at a bar. An entire suite of dining annoyances just... gone. I love it. Edit: note that this assumes that they're using a system that allows you to order and pay through the web system as well. Others are talking about PDF menus and that's quite rare here now.
