These are interesting reactions from the tech-savvy folks who are always wanting to “change the world.”
Well, you succeeded. Get over it.
QR code menus dominate here where I live in the US Midwest. Here’s the thing - they only replace the physical menu. Wait staff still takes your order, gets refills, etc. just as when we had physical menus. When it comes time to pay many restaurants now bring a device to your table so you can pay. The wait staff no longer disappears with your credit card. Nice.
The nice thing about this system is it gets rid of the germ-laden physical menu, eliminates the ability for wait staff to copy your credit card, yet retains the rest of the traditional restaurant experience. No app required.
Y’all might want to take a look at how we’re doing things here.
As for anyone looking to opening a restaurant, if I have to install an app to dine at your restaurant then I’m walking out. That’s definitely not the experience I’m looking for!

- taylodl 4y agoThe places I go just leave the device with you and say pay whenever you feel like it, no rush. They’re using devices that have a big red light and green light on top. When they bring it to you it’s red. It turns green after you pay. That way they can see at a glance whether you’re trying to skip out.

- NotYourLawyer 4y agoThe plates get washed, and waiters are supposed to be washing their hands on the reg. I expect the plates are a lot cleaner than paper menus.
- lupire 4y agoMenus are usually plastic.
- NotYourLawyer 4y agoSometimes yes, sometimes no. Makes no difference if you don’t clean them.
- kjkjadksj 4y agoHow dirty are you expecting a menu to be? Its probably cleaner than the front door to the restaurant you opened.

- taylodl 4y agoMenus are never cleaned. Ever. Dishwashers are regularly inspected as is the food preparation area and food handling practices. Menus? They’re cleanliness isn’t regulated, so guess what?
