I hate the whole concept of QR code for a menu. I have no idea who came up with the idea and why restaurants thought that is a good idea. Yes, physical menus cost a little money to print, but last forever. Unless the restaurant has a new menu every day, it just doesn’t make sense.

Maybe next time I’ll just walk out and let the restaurant know why I’m walking out.

They want to be able to change prices.

They could just print out their own menus instead of having them professionally printed. Then they can cheaply change the menus any time they like.

I've seen a number of restaurants (including high-end ones) do this, and it's fine. Far superior to a QR code.

It's likely that the server will be punished.
