wtf. peoples came to restaurant as customer. to eat. Not as an inventory staff.
- Realize restaurant is in a cell dead spot.
- Wander around looking for wifi code.
- Conclude the hand-written I in the password is an l or 1 on your third attempt typing it in.
(not as often as seeing people snap the paper menu so that they can get it through their translation service of choice or share a copy without banging their heads together, apparently paper menus only get better through technology)
I find QR menus annoying when you're at a place where you specifically want to forget about your phone, like a nice restaurant for dinner, but I don't think they're some huge amount of work.
My biggest issue, outside of the usual terrible websites these codes link to, is that I often find myself with a phone already on battery saving mode when I go into a restaurant at the end of the day. Having to do conscious battery management in case I want to order desert is just an unnecessary pain.
I mean, yeah, sure, in 2019. But it's 2023, and certain world events forced it so that even my parents can read a QR code with their phone now.
It’s also way faster for on iPhones which most restaurant customers have. You just lift your phone, tap the camera icon on the Lock Screen and it scans the code right away.
Then you just double tap the power button and it’s paid and ordered.
That's a very US centric view of the world.
65% of the market in the US, you know basically everyone! All the plebs with androids just sit home eating our turnips and porridge dreaming that one day our children will be able to afford to check their iphones at T.G.I. McFunsters.
QR code gets printed at different resolution and or ratio, and or laminated glare, and now not getting scanned.
