Yes, but you still need to click the link, open in the browser. I don’t trust the average restaurant to make correct security decisions on their online menu/payment system. So pass.

Most restaurants I’ve been to have their QR code link to a PDF and not an ordering website with payments.

That’s a worse user experience.

It’s much better. It’s easy for people to see even with visual impairments. Everyone sets up their phone to accommodate their own needs.

You can always take the time to ask for a menu and I’m sure someone will bring you one, but it’s my opinion that you’re making too big of a deal out of something that’s such a small part of the dining experience.

How does a pdf of a menu help a vision impaired person?

Than what? A printout of the same PDF? I mean if you prefer paper then yeah, I get it but it's such a small difference.

You mean a PDF hosted on a squarespace site? Or one of the many many apps that integrate with POS systems to do scan and pay?
