Happened to me pretty recently in Bogotá, Colombia. At the table waiter handed us two very old iPads with broken screens to read a PDF of the menu. In Santiago, Chile I was handed waiter’s phone with a menu from some local takeout when I informed them that I can’t read their menu hosted via QR since i don’t have data. In South America it’s unfortunately popular to just have QR leading you to a huge PDF hosted somewhere in US to read a menu. Even in places that barely have internet like in the mountains… And more often than not they don’t have paper backups.
