re: Do you remember when restaurants had menus that were like books - pages to turn?

If you watch Chef Ramsey on the UK Kitchen Nightmares, he recommends the restaurants whittle down such books. ITs a trend.
Now Mexican restaurants, oh hell, you’re getting an encyclopedia set

Usually a sign the restaurant is meh across the board. I hate huge menus because you don’t know what’s the best few items to pick.
Give me a page with apps, soups and salads, sandwiches and burgers and then another page for entrees. That’s enough

Want to go somewhere that sucks at everything they make, but hey at least you can get lo mein, fried chicken, and lasagna all in one convenient location? The Cheesecake Factory is your spot.
Or just go to a Golden Corral buffet

That doesn't even bother me but frick a restaurant that still does the stupid QR code menu on your phone thing, that shite needs to end.
Every single restaurant I've been to that uses the QR code menu, also has the option of a physical menu if you request one.

Death of buffets >>>>>>> smaller menus
When it comes to what disappoints me post covid. I literally went to Thai Pepper nearly every Saturday for its buffet.

Am I the only one here who likes the QR code system?
I hate having a bunch of menus scattered all over the table and when someone finally takes them saying “oh no we will hold on to one” while everyone awkwardly figures out who the designated solo menu holder will be.
And even worse when you order a bunch of apps but are still deciding on entrees so now you’ve got a table littered with menus but no where to put the appetizers.
Now look, if I’m going to a Michelin star restaurant, I would be put off by a QR code menu. But for a normal night out? I actually prefer it.

ow, post “Covid”, the best we can get is a one page menu with 10 items the restaurant “specializes” in
Good lord, tell me you eat at nothing but shitty chain restaurants without telling me
If I go to a restaurant and its more than two pages tops then I know its likely dogshit
You want a restaurant to have a singular page menu. That means they do, depending on the layout, 10-20 dishes only, do them well, and aren't using all Sysco frozen bullshite.

I'm old.
I remember going to the Rathskeller in East Berlin (yes, that old).
The menu as ten pages long, with at least twenty items per page.
We decided, the waiter came over, we gave our order, and the waiter pointed to page two and said "Wir haben diese."
I said, was andere? He said, Nicht mehr, wir haben diese.
So we had "diese" for dinner. Nothing more.

That’s just it. They are using the stats and percentages against you
The 3-5 YOU pick may overlap with the next person but they aren’t the same. Extrapolate that out over the entire population and we all get a larger menu.
What’s happening is those companies are banking on your selfish perspective to keep their profits afloat.
That leads to a leveling of expectations further paving the way towards totalitarianism.
You chodes really need to THINK more than ONE step ahead. True diversity is freedom. “Virtued diversity” is slavery.
Restaurants have no need to keep items on the menu if they don't sell well. If you want "freedom" with food, make it yourself. Or find a restaurant that caters to you. They are businesses, not virtue eateries.

Big restaurant menus are a bad thing. Means restaurants aren’t good at anything like Cheesecake Factory. I’d rather have a restaurant like a Canes that does one thing really well

I dont like it. It makes everyone bury their heads in their phones like the assholes that do it all the time regardless.
I dont like looking like I have to be glued to my phone.

Well, yeah. And then the cars behind you start honking because you’re taking too long to order.

The one QR code thing I like is when you can pay your bill by QR code. Love it. I scan pay and can gtfo
Also bar menus when they have extensive beer or wine lists.

I don’t even look at the food menus first. If the bar menu has draft beer more that $6 and coctails are $15, I’m out. I’m not getting ripped off, eating shitty food and I can 100x times better everyday of the week.
