Depends on the setting, honestly. In a cafe, it's nice to continue working while just ordering on the QR. In some sit down restaurants, it does feel like the service is strictly lower quality with the QR codes. It's hard to convey what exactly you want sometimes, especially since not all these QR apps have a notes section.

Allergies? Substitutions? This stuff just gets slightly harder/annoying, albeit not horribly difficult ofc. I find myself agreeing most with the authors on this, though:

This just sucks and I'm tired of it.

That doesn't sound like a cafe (or a workplace)

Different strokes for different folks. Seen this at a few cafes on the East Coast, but it's not the norm as dine-in is barely returning.
