Ghost Leviathan posted:Also places still have menus on display and advertised. Are there literally any cases of restaurant surge pricing enabled by QR codes? Some "trendy" restaurants have scannable QR codes only. I know this because my boomer parents were bitching about one such restaurant and neither of them have smartphones, apparently it was a whole event just to get a paper menu list. Edit: not in US

Ghost Leviathan posted:It's incredibly handy for not having to queue up for your order or try to flag down a waiter, and a huge relief for the socially anxious or just really can't handle that bullshit right now. Just scan the thing, hit the buttons, done, your food arrives when it's ready. I especially love how every QR code in every restaurant redirects to a bespoke fly-by-night app. That's great. I like having to explain to my older relatives how to use a QR code every time. Oh! But by far my favourite thing about them is that you can't ask anyone about allergen information before you order something and instead you have to try and find it hidden somewhere in some bullshit website

Realistically, how many people who can afford to go to a halfway fancy restaurant don't have a smartphone? They're so cheap on contract that it's more effort and inconvenience to not have one at all. That isn't necessarily a point in favour of ditching paper menus, just that you probably aren't losing that many potential customers by switching to a QR code at this point, even with the downsides that come with it, because almost everyone will just roll their eyes and get on with it.

PhazonLink posted:it probably is the printing cost , but imo they should still physical menus because lol we should minimize phone interactions as much as possible. Yes, this. It’s real sad when you go out with people you like and you all mainly sit on your phone. Phones do a lot for us, but I’m in Florida where hurricane Ian was a direct hit and man… it sure was kinda nice in a way to not have them working. Actually talked to my neighbors. Kinda made me realize that phones suck too. *posted from Awful App*

Squibbles posted:Wow you guys are living in the future. Admittedly I haven't gotten out to restaurants much since COVID but the ones I have seen with QR codes just take you to the website with a static menu. No ordering capabilities or anything. Yeah, this is 90% at least of the places I've been to, here in Chicago as well as traveling. It just opens the menu page on their website.

feedmegin posted:But, um. There are always going to be situations you need one. I was on holiday in the US and went to one of those restaurants, and having a non-American phone I didn't have a US cell contract and thus wasn't online. So, I had to ask for a paper menu. Not sure how that works if they're switching up the prices every 5 seconds. Lately I've found that the paper menu will say "Beer: $7" and then the check comes and it lists "Beer: $8" because they raised prices but didn't update all the menus. I know I really ought to fight about it, because it's pretty hosed, but if I have enough edit: also lol at the guy busting into the thread to imply that the racist tech people will raise the prices for table 6 because there's a black family sitting there... not the restaurant owners, but the engineer at a software company in Ohio that runs the online ordering system for the restaurant. Will the perfidy of computer touchers never cease? Did they implement it with computer vision & cameras in the restaurant, or is there just a "MINORITIES" button on the register screen?

He couldn't/didn't want to pay that back in time so he was paying 1eth PER WEEK to extend the loan, and at any point the other guy could just turn down this extension and keep his ape. You did this to yourself you idiot he didn't even scam you in the slightest you voluntarily entered into a ridiculous deal. ...

I went to a revolving sushi restaurant and some little robot with its own theme music rolled up to us and gave us our food and it was really adorable for me. QR codes menus can suck it though. I’m all for digital menus but these websites are done so poorly that navigating them is a waste of time compared to laminated paper.

Most pubs I've been to in London have an app for the ordering. Then you go to the bar 20 minutes later to ask why you didn't get your drinks and they grab a wad of printed receipts to find your stuff. (Okay, they were understaffed that time, it usually works well.)

I'm willing to sell the domain, but not for less than [dunno, maybe 4x your annual salary?], paid in USD and fully due before letting you use the domain. The fact that you, someone who wants to be a player in a trillion+ dollar market, offered such a small amount for the domain is honestly insulting and I'm thinking about forwarding the domain to [yadda yadda]

https://mobile.twitter.com/reidoNFT/status/1576926795685036033 OP so close to figuring out in the comments why decentralized smart contracts are a bad idea. Why yes, if you had a written conversation of a bank agreeing to modify loan terms, and then they reject your modified payment so they can claim you defaulted and nab your collateral, you can appeal to the central authority who will recognize your new agreement and force the lender to abide by the new terms.
