I’ve still seen it quite a few times. It’s only annoying when it’s the only option to order.
The worst one was when they got mad at us for making 20 separate orders (group of 20 everyone orders on their own phone).
Apparently we were supposed to take half an hour passing 1 phone around hoping the shitty webapp doesn’t wipe our order.
I guess they wanted to be able to auto add gratuity to your large party and totally agree with you. I personally don’t mind the QR code when it is just me or one other person.
When a good portion of them end up just thrown out, IMO this is a step in the right direction. If you want it in your fridge you could write it down or print it. And then anyone who doesn’t want it on their fridge or doesn’t care enough to open the website doesn’t cause another piece of coloured and printed paper to just be waste.
I’m not sure what the OP had in mind but with their description I was picturing the fast dining places, kinda like Panera bread. Sometimes in the more trendy places where they put like dandelions or some shit on sandwiches they will have a really convoluted bs system that requires as little human interaction as possible. But then they need all this extra staff because the system they made is confusing
a lot of them just kept both systems around here, which is nice because I love the ability to decide “man I could use another side” without having to slflag the server down
I was in a Buffalo Wild Wings recently that only had the menu available via QR code. You still ordered like normal, but in order to see the options, you had to scan the code.
Is this still common or are people beating a dead horse?
The whole QR code thing was big during the pandemic but every restaurant in my city deactivated their QR menu and setup.
I say that as a person who loves ordering from a QR and just having the server bring it over. Fight me.

Luckily tips are still actually tips in my country. So you’d never pay them upfront and definitely not after receiving shitty service.
Vancouver is littered with QR Only restaurants, which is extra fun when we take out our boomer tech-illiterate parents.
Yeah but Vancouver is famous for never admitting it’s wrong.

I mean, if they can just keep a handful printed or be ready to print them if requested that would easily meet both needs
I’ve NEVER seen a QR restaraunt

That matches my BWW experience from a few months ago.
