This has always been such a misguided little thing.
Print out as many menus as you have tables, laminate them and use them for years.
or,
If you're going QR code, go all the way. Specific QR code for each table that links to a site that lets me order for my table from my phone itself. Don't link to a bloody PDF that doesn't reflow ffs.
- eviks 3y ago> laminate them and use them for years and never change your menu? (PDFs should've died at birth, though, that whole replicating paper on computers thing is just dumb design that's going to bite us for a long while)
- pfffr 3y agoOften menus don't change for years, only specials and seasonal menu items. These can be clipped to the laminate. Restaurants have done this since longer than I have been alive.
- eviks 3y agoYes, menus don't change for years except changing every season in a year! Restaurants have done many bad things over the years, not sure how this helps with your bad advice of hardcoding always changing design
- Spivak 3y agoI love the per table QR code system, you do that and have self-service drinks and you have a sit-down restaurant that doesn't need waitstaff.
- camillomiller 3y agohere in Europe I’ve seen QR codes used exactly like that in many new restaurants. In Berlin I can name at least a bunch of establishments that work like that.
- yakubin 3y agoEven a "well-made" QR code menu is strictly inferior to a paper menu IMO. Reading and scrolling on a small smartphone display is just a long step back from the comfort of reading an A4 piece of paper.
