No, I would not like to scan the QR code to read your menu on my phone.

When I sit down at a restaurant, I want a menu I can hold.

I don't care that it's bent, or that ketchup or coffee has been spilled on it once, twice, or ten times. It's a restaurant. It happens. It's part of the experience.

I understand why restaurants do this. Paper costs money and websites are easier to update. But I have enough reasons to look at my phone. Dining out was not supposed to be one of them.

So no. I would not like to scan the QR code to read your menu on my phone. What do you think of all this, and have you experienced this?

The best conversations are two-way streets. I want to hear from you.
