To be fair, telling people to scan QR codes with their phones is a huge phishing vector. I’ve seen a few places with new stickers over the first one, which is very easy to do. Is it an updated menu? Or a scam page for a session stealer?
I know a bar that does this but you can place orders for the table (your friends too and you can see their orders), call the waiter and pay the bill. I was impressed it was functional.
Menus at restaurants are to be printed not via a QR code and a shitty website.

I’ll accept a tablet. But the first time it malfunctions, Miss Minimum Wage is standing at the table writing my order down on paper.
I FUCKING HATE QR CODE MENUS SO MUUUUCH!!!
If your wifi is bad or I just don’t want to wait to load a tiny goddamn webpage, I’m gone.
It’s really not hard to print a menu for a restaurant. The minimal amount of effort.
I feel like this is probably common sense. The council of people over 20 have decided this months ago, and it should become law any minute now.
Or worse a PDF of the menu.
That is 500Mb+ because the ‘designer’ just stuffed the highest quality image in they could as a background on the whole thing
The worst is the heavily compressed photo “scans” of the paper menu.

I’ve seen restaurant where you need to order on a smartphone. That’s just ridiculous
That’s just less tip for the server if I have to do their job for them.
