I saw a restaurant using a tableside tablet for a menu, that was kind of cool. But being that the was only one, it was a bummer for 4 people.
The best is when you go to the URL and either have to 1. Prove you're not a bot 2. Create an account 3. Download the menu app 4. Error 403

When I am in one of those QR places, I just start trying to order stuff off the top of my head until they bring me a real menu.
I hate the menu QRs, but I kinda like the payment QRs in Europe. The way it works is you have the payment QR glued and laminated on the table and when you scan it, it shows you all items that your table has purchased and right from there you can pay for everything or subset - without having to wait for a waiter. Same setup would also work amazingly with bitcoin.
They want to know who eats at their restaurant. In the future they can use it to give each table a "customized menu", manipulating your decision and adjust prices for each customer.

Can’t argue with passion. But imagine yourself in the shoes of someone who has to order new menus every 2 ou 3 months because of price increases…

I've used these qr establishments outdoor terrasses as a park bench. After having a nice walk I sit down to rest my legs and enjoy the view, maybe even take a sip from my bottle of water i have with me. If a waiter would come I may order, but else i just sit for 30 minutes stand up go to their loo and carry on my walk..

I refuse to scan those things… I can tolerate it (barely) if there’s a URL
Can confirm. It tells you: We are a low value restaurant, expect nothing but convenience shit + seed oils.
Don't miss the chance to ask them if this QR code is their Bitcoin or Monero address to pay them.

Won't come back? I wouldn't even sit down in a place like that.
