There was a curry place that opened up next to my office that went one step further. The QR code redirected to an app you had to install to place your order. After a month of no customers they almost went out of business, but finally the owner gave up and went to a printed menu. Now they're doing all right, but I was talking with the owner and he was grumbling about the massive amount of money he wasted on it.

Money wasted on prints?? What about the money wasted on the app no-one used???

[–] mrbubblesort@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

ah nah, he meant the money wasted on making the app that no one wanted to use

Imagine thinking people will want to download your shady app just to eat some shitty food

I will say I kinda like it when the QR code allows you to order directly to your table. It's nice to not have to talk to the server if you don't want to and it makes splitting the bill a non-issue.

Digital menus and ordering is great as an additional option.

I want it to still be an option to live a phoneless internetless life
