As a counterpoint, QR code menus work very well in China. I've been to places where you scan the code to open a menu that lets you place all your orders. You can also pay for your table via per table QR codes.

As a side note, you don't customarily tip in restaurants in China, so a non high-end place with good food will typically have rushed and curt wait staff. Ordering through the phone will give you a better experience!

Not sure why that’s something we want to encourage.

Talk about low value comments.

Why not?

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s not actually better for some people and some situations.

This is obviously a decent use case for QR code’s; your comments seem just like you don’t like it, and you’re not interested in even considering any other option.

Because encouraging people to be rude to each other is distasteful, I thought it was obvious.

Similarly, calling someone a “low value comment” and then taking the least charitable view of their comment is directly against hn community guidelines.
