Or, I have no idea how these QR providers work, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this was the sort of low-effort service that restaurants don’t want to pay for. So, maybe ad/tracking funded.

It is annoying when a transaction that for ages has been all-paper gets bumped into the panopticon.



QR codes can encode many things, including a url. If your restaurant already has a reasonable menu online, you can just link to that. No need to pay anyone, other than if you fancy print the qr code notices.


If I owned a restaurant that’s what I’d do, but the ones around here typically end up linking the QR code to some complicated website for some reason.
