re: I’m getting old. I hate QR code menus

I'm not that old, but HATE them. I go to a resturant to relax and enjoy time with my wife....the first thing I wanna do is not open, fiddle with snd scroll through my phone. I know I'm still looking at a paper menu, but it feels different when I have to use my phone

Ah, there it is. It saves them money and is easier to update the menu.

You still can look at a menu….on your phone

Some of you get upset at the strangest things. I've literally never thought twice about using a QR code menu.

I know you said your hate was irrational, but I really want to know WHY. What drives this hatred towards a specific type of menu?

---

All of this!!!

I’ve literally never given a second’s thought to QR code menus until this thread.

But now that I have, I like them.

I’m young and dislike them as well. Way too often, they don’t load properly or I’m dealing with a dying phone after work.

Secondly, especially if I get the occasional date with my wife (two young kids), I want my and her phones away the entire meal. That’s why

Is there some reason you or your wife are not capable of putting the no home away after you order?

That’s what we do. It isn’t difficult

To be fair, some restaurants send you to a setup where each menu category is on a separate link and there's a lot of flipping back and forth.

For something like sushi where you're ordering 20+ pieces of different fish and small plates, it gets to be a lot flipping through.

QR code doesn't bother me personally, but it varies from place to place as far as how user friendly it is. And like someone else mentioned, there have been times nothing will load.

And forget dining with old people. My dad holds his phone 10ft away from him trying to see his XL texts. My mom has to dig for her readers. My grandmother doesn't even know how to get to her phone camera.

If you're doing multiple rounds of courses, your phone is getting referred back to throughout the meal. Which is, again, not a huge deal. But I personally like being able to glance down at the menu and that be it.
