I love QR Code menus, especially when you can order through them.
But I hate when restaurants force them on you. Just give me the fucking choice so that everyone can order in the way they prefer.
Yeah but they can’t data track you through a paper menu, and a company choosing to lose revenue?? impossible
most of them only link to a PDF containing the menu anyways, they can’t track you there either
Pretty much any webhosted service out there essentially needs to track ip’s (unless they want to be ddos’d), so even the server thats serving the pdf can and will track you
They could even go the easy route and use something like bit.my to do it for them too
Most services that convert a link to a QR code absolutely track their users. bit.ly (the URL shortening company) has a paid service to track where, when, and device IDs of who accessed the link whether it was through their shortened URL or the conveniently generated QR code that they can also make you.
This, but unironically
See, Im going to speak in defence of the QR code in some places. If I go to a pub, staffed by interchangable 20 somethings who are simultaniously taking orders, wiping tables, pouring drinks, clearing tables… yeah I dont think those menus are getting wiped down all that often.
If its a restaraunt, or trying to be upmarket… yeah make menus.
