QR codes at restaurants became standard during the onset of the pandemic in 2020, but some customers would be happy to see them go for good. “I don’t like that they require you to take your phone out at a restaurant,” Meghan Overdeep said. “I don’t need an excuse to be scrolling at the table.” Ordering through a QR code also means diners have fewer opportunities to ask waiters for recommendations or clarifications. Restaurants with menus are also typically assumed to be more upscale than those using QR codes. However, when diners are in a rush or are managing small children, the QR code can still be a useful option! (Southern Living)
