this is an attack vector, somebody could sticker over the qr code with a malicious link or something fun like pigpoopballs or the iww website.

go to the restaurant
menu is a QR code
checkout using an iPad app
waiters are forced to smile
I don't bring my phone with me to restaurants as I want to enjoy myself and only people I don't want to talk to try and contact me by phone
if there isn't a chalk illustration of the food I ain't eating it
If there isn’t a plastic sculpture of the food I’m not eating it
But how would they gather your data that way? And how would that deter people who can't afford a phone? Checkmate, tankies.
Similarly if I have to make an account for something its not happening.
I don't have a smart phone, and the last time I went to a restaurant like this they wouldn't even let me order coffee while I waited for my friend with the magic menu-scanner to arrive.
I was led to believe that the QR codes were an important safety measure to stop the spread of Covid. And no, I will not explain how.
At the very least they can just add "Menus available on our website" along with it, because it's usually just a link to the menu on the website, and people know how to use that by now.
