“Scan for menu” is fiat.

Yes! That's lame...
I’ve set this up for a few restaurant clients over the course of the pandemic and told them all how much I hated it.
A lot of restaurants around me have you pay through qr too.
Honestly, I’m more of a fan of that. Sitting down with clients, friends, or family at a restaurant and being forced to all pull out and stare at your phones to decide what to eat is just a bit too dystopian for me.
I wonder what would happen if you said “excuse me? Do you have a menu? I have a medical condition that prevents me from using my phone.”
Call it bitcoinmaximalism (if you say it fast it will sound official and serious).
Ah yes, now I see your point. Never thought about that. I’m usually sharing my phone or persons next to me. Always have to enlarge the font too! 😂
I like it. It's convenient and allows me to always have an up to date menu without the restaurant having to print new ones.
To each their own, but when I’m sharing a meal with someone, the last thing I want is more screen time.
A menu in your face or a phone in your face, each takes you out of the conversation while you decide on what to eat.
A line has been drawn….
i texted my buddy earlier today and said it's been a while and we should hang out and get some dinner. how or what method we order is the very last thing on my mind. that is my line.
Good for you, chief. It’s still fiat. Own it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My wife tells the waitress her camera is broken on her phone and she can’t scan the QR code.
She’s a menu maxi. I’m go with the flow. 🫂
I also prefer it. Closing tabs and having a bar hold your physical card is more fiat. Not to mention having to wipe down all the receipt folders and extra running around. I don’t need a human to write down my order and type it in the computer. Not to mention I bet it’s easily translated to other languages.
I prefer a freshly cut down tree with my menu substitution. Keeps things fresh.
