I like when there's a qr code that allows you to order and pay without needing to wait for a waiter. A qr code where it just links to a pdf of a menu that they didn't want to print sucks.

PDF is at least kind of permanent. Most restaurants that have qr code set up usually have "surge pricing" that allows them to change their prices on a whim.

Not much of a challange to have a webserver point to another pdf when some condition is fulfilled.

[–] Takumidesh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

You can just generate a PDF on demand. There isn't much permanent about them at all.

Get mad at the problem and not the symptoms. I've been to dozens of restaurants with qr code menus and never seen one with surge pricing. Just be mad about surge pricing.

If it’s printed on the inside of the menu so you can order quickly when it’s busy and help take some of the pressure off the servers and maybe get your food faster? That’s cool.

When it’s just a virtual menu so they can surge price in real time? Fuck those places.
