One plus for restaurants seems to be they can make you pay prior to, rather than after, your meal.

I'm a bit worried this practice will live past COVID simply because of this.

It is trivial to get people to pay for their meal before eating. In Australia it's very common in some kinds of place, in a way that I understand confuses some tourists.

The reason these QR codes would last is because of the telemetry and tracking they will enable.
