Dear restaurant owners:We ALL hate the QR code menu.

@louis
Especially in busy places neither will work.

@timrichards
Exactly. When you choose to eat at a restaurant you just want to put the phones away.

To me those feel like they should be two entirely different concepts not to be found in the same place.

@kkarhan I like "Klöckner'd!" @harrysentonbury @cmconseils

@jwi
To me those are two different restaurants.

I always prefer a printed menu because it provides a way better overview than the small screen of my phone.

@grumpydad @cmconseils qr code for wifi are pretty neat

@kkarhan @RealGlob @mkoek @otte_homan @cmconseils

This is all too brilliant! I guess you can eat at a restaurant, take a photo of the QR code, then periodically order food to that same table while you're somewhere else far away.

Kinda reminds me of the #Barcode to unlock the gates at the #SelfServiceCheckout at #REWE...

- I did test it (obviously I did pay for what I bought!) and it just worked.

@catmisgivings @hellomiakoda @cmconseils A QR menu that describes the meals as they really are:

"A disappointing, dry endeavour, drowned in a sickly but otherwise tasteless sauce!"

@replicajune @cmconseils For a helpful reply, see the above diagram

[ppxl@social.tchncs.de]

@cmconseils especially those ones that point to a single Facebook page.

[bellinghman@wandering.shop]

@ecoscore @lydiaconwell @cmconseils Are you trying to make it unreadable, or readable but with different data in it? Because QR Code is going to insist on much more than a handful of dots for the first, and a sizable proportion of all of them for the second. Just look at the pattern differences between adjacent tables

(Assuming the case where it includes your table number)

[kaleissin@wandering.shop]

@cmconseils I like ordering online but the menus they link to, to order from, are so unbelievably shitty and bad UX. Much better overview with the worn and bent cardboard rag.

[ache@social.lol]

@grumpydad @cmconseils @replicajune Yeah.
QR code should not be the primary way to access something.

Your menu should be a physical menu and the QR Code should help people access the digital version, not to force your digital version to the users.

If you have a printed poster with an URL, please put a small QR code next to it. Not to replace the URL, to complete it.

[bright_helpings@mspsocial.net]

@cmconseils I love the QR code menu! It's great for my access needs, especially when it lets me stay outside the restaurant and eat outdoors.

[marud@social.marud.fr]

@cmconseils le bar dans lequel on va avec les copaings a deux caractéristiques principales :
- il est dans un vieux bâtiment historique eb semi cave avec des murs ultra épais et donc 0 réseau mobile
- des QR code en guise de carte

le combo du siècle

[arclight@oldbytes.space]

@cmconseils The QR code menu is a techbro affordance and a full-scale rejection of the core hospitality function of a restaurant.

There are local restaurants with great food that I won't go back to because of this weird, sterile airport-kiosk style of "service". Disconcerting, offputting, and in all ways an inferior dining experience - a drive-thru is more welcoming and humane.

This is the sort of crap invented by software people who fundamentally do not understand the restaurant business and lack the basic socialization and humanity that we recognize as being completely absent in Mark Zuckerberg.
