Those smug cooks, making a few dollars above minimum wage.

I love QR Code menus, especially when you can order through them.
But I hate when restaurants force them on you. Just give me the fucking choice so that everyone can order in the way they prefer.

I love people’s absolute moral outrage about scanning a QR code. The same folks crying bc they have to ask for a plastic straws or wear a smal piece of cloth on their face in the grocery store.
- sqgl ( @sqgl@beehaw.org ) English33•9 months ago
It is a privacy/security issue, not moral. A QR eatery will probably not accept cash either.
- chicken ( @chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English2•9 months ago
The issue is because it connects with a website right? I wonder if there could be a way to encode the text of the menu in the QR code itself
- lazynooblet ( @lazynooblet@lazysoci.al ) English6•9 months ago
The QR code would be huge lol
- chicken ( @chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English3•9 months ago
The largest can fit like 500-1k words, a restaurant menu could be less than that I think
- sqgl ( @sqgl@beehaw.org ) English2•9 months ago
Yes web site is the issue.
Cannot embed menu instead because the QR code is a URL.
- chicken ( @chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English1•9 months ago
Why does QR code have to be URL only
- hemko ( @hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English3•9 months ago
Mostly because otherwise you’d need an app that knows how to read and display the data
- chicken ( @chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English1•9 months ago
oh, I don’t use my phone much, assumed they should be able to show some kind of plaintext from a QR code by default
- KuraiWolfGaming ( @KuraiWolfGaming@pawb.social ) English2•9 months ago
You can. I’ve encoded text in QR codes using both an android app and a desktop program.

The QR code would be so big you may as well just print a full menu instead. Here, for example, is a QR code containing the first two paragraphs of the US Declaration of Independence:
It would have to be much, much bigger if you want to include any pictures.
- chicken ( @chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English1•9 months ago
Still seems much better than linking to a website.
- sqgl ( @sqgl@beehaw.org ) English1•9 months ago
When it is that big you may as well print a conventional menu rather than QR code.

I dislike qr menus mostly cuz their websites suck and I often don’t carry a phone.
Edit: Let me just add that as a coder my dream is to one day be hired for a really expensive and complex project and to give them a solution that only uses paper.
Paper menus are just full color e ink large foldable ipads that don’t weight a thing and are cheap, and have a super accessible interface.

I’ve used exactly one QR coded menu that didn’t suck. Every other one was some manner of infuriating, top method being “every item takes up 75%+ of your phone’s screen and is all arranged vertically so it’s impossible to compare two items without scrolling through 3-40 screens worth”.
- jdf038 ( @jdf038@mander.xyz ) English3•9 months ago
That last bit is the most annoying part. I can’t stand not being able to quickly skim and compare and since most restaurants have too many items on their menu at it is I find it especially annoying.
- HikingVet ( @HikingVet@lemmy.ca ) English10•9 months ago
I wear masks, carry stainless steel straws so I don’t have to use paper ones. You want me to eat at your establishment more than once, don’t make me use my phone at meal time.

Did anyone check what that qr code in the image points to?
- Wirrvogel ( @Wirrvogel@feddit.de ) English4•9 months ago
We have a rule: Phones stay in pockets/handbags while dining/going out and in flight mode. I also do not install apps on my phone, especially not in a hurry and without checking the app’s reviews and taking my time to decide what rights the app should have etc. They can give me a tablet to make my order if they don’t want to print menus.
- And009 ( @And009@lemmynsfw.com ) English1•9 months ago
We have both in our guesthouse, some people like spending more time working in cafe but can’t have them hoarding the menu for hours at end.
QR is convenient to place around a bigger property. People avoiding tech can simply enjoy walking to the outdoor or indoor seating area for a traditional experience.
