The only thing worse is when they don't explain that, and you're stuck wondering why a waiter hasn't come over. Yes I understand that the QR code is a menu. No I don't think it's more efficient to change the concept of a "restaurant" after 5,000 years.

Best thing is, last place that did this had a unique "fusion" menu. It's not like the food was self-explanatory. So the waiters had to come to every table anyway, but it was hard to flag them down.

Btw restaurants with menu to choose from aren't that old

Yes they are. They were already ubiquitous in the Roman Empire. Pompeii has them in its ruins. It's very recognizable as areas with seating and areas with food preparation / serving.

That's what they thought, till a Romanian grandma used it to make wool gloves

I feel like you're gonna give us a link to back this up.

The point of contention is the menu, not the sit down and eat part.

And the menus?

[-] Sagifurius@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

Doubt. Even the Uruk Hai knew of menus
