Aside from finding it annoying, QR code menus effectively prevent some people from viewing the menu.
Think about the requirements to view the menu. You must have a smartphone and a cellular data plan. People that aren’t well off may skip on those in order to purchase things that are more important, like food. I guess I could understand if it was just fancy/expensive restaurants doing this, but I’m seeing it all over.
It’s a similar issue to businesses that are cashless. You’re effectively barring people who can’t/don’t have a bank account or credit card from paying. Both of which are notoriously hard to get if you’re homeless.
You know how people don’t like paying for streaming services because they have enshittified and grown more expensive?
Yeah, you’re just doing that for your own self hosted service.
