Ooof, this trend hasn't caught up here yet, not that I noticed, but because my country tends to mirror everything that happens in the US, it's probably coming... thanks for the heads up! xD
I know I won't be using this sh*t if it appears here... first, because no way I'm scanning random QR codes out of some modicum of convenience, but second because I hate restaurants with too much crap on their menu. And as a general rule, I wanna use my smartphone for less stuff, not more.
Oh, this also applies for digital menu systems, particularly ones that wants to take a photo, collect data, and whatnot. I'm not paying a meal with my privacy and personal data.
Personal standpoint I guess, but I only bother going at restaurants and ordering from a menu (versus takeout, self service or drive thru) if they are specialized at something, not trying to serve everything under the Sun. And if they are specialized at a few plates then you don't need a QR code system to tell what the recommendations are.
If I'm asked to read a QR code or worse, installing an app, then I'm just leaving, sorry. You have a regular menu on display, QR code can be an option at most.
Dealing with smartphone or general security and privacy problems is really not something I wanna be thinking about during lunch or dinner...
