Social media? Bitch, this is the average restaurant experience now! OH We HaVe OuR meNu On OuR aPp
Yeah and you have no goddamn signal here GIVE ME A FUCKEN MENU
Yeah. Fuck restaurants that expect me to scan a damned qr code for a fucking menu.
And even then, I’m fine to browse a menu on a mobile-friendly site (as long as the restaurant is diligent about providing reliable wifi for anyone who might not have great signal). But when the code has me download a PDF, they can fuck right off. First of all, I don’t need the menu sitting in my cache or download folder. And when the PDF was clearly formatted for physical printing… Good lord. I’m not pinching and zooming this shit.
I walk into a restaurant that has an app, I’ll never go back again. What a horrible way to try to find food.
I used to feel that way but recently I was in Europe and https://www.qerko.com/en was everywhere. It was pretty great honestly. Instant app so I didn’t need to install anything. My party could split the bill however we wanted ourselves. If you had GooglePay or ApplePay it was one tap to pay. Pay and go whenever you want without having to flag anyone down. It was optional if you wanted you could ask for a bill.
As much as I hate installing restaurant apps I can get behind this experience.
