I first noticed this when I was with my fiancé down in Raleigh, North Carolina. We were at a sports bar drinking good margaritas and eating burgers that were to die for. I asked for a menu, but then it turned out that the restaurant no longer did paper menus. They asked me to take out my cell phone and scan the QR code on the sign in front of me. When you scan the barcode the menu is automatically uploaded to your phone, and you can read the entire menu via their website.
It's a simple task and you don't need to make a hassle out of it. In many cases, it's another version of scrolling down the internet. But instead of scrolling through random TikTok videos, you're scrolling up and down to see what would you like to order at your current location. All of this is being viewed on your phone and you don't have to go through a crazy hassle of looking at a laminated paper menu. In many cases, this is saving the restaurant business a crazy load of money, as well as helping out the environment in regards to chopping down a colossal amount of trees.
In my personal opinion, I support menu scanning. It's the perfect addition to our everyday lives. After all, we're glued to our phones like roaches that can't escape once they get caught in sticky tape. This is a good thing. All you have to do is scan a QR code that is right next to you. Within seconds, the entire restaurant menu is right there on your phone to view. Not only that, but there can be a benefit to this.
Let's say you want to come to that particular restaurant again. Instead of wondering what to order next, just pull out of your technology device and open the menu. Your device already downloaded it. There's nothing left to do except look at the menu and decide what to eat before your stomach becomes your worst enemy.
I support menu scanning.
