That's a bit weird to me.

It's often the case in the UK that the mobile app/website in restaurants has full allergy information, including filters to only show items that match certain criteria.

Same. Not a fan of QR menus for plenty of reasons, but allergies isn't one of them.

Printed menus where I live (Seattle) tend to have the exact same info as the QR menus, which includes the allergen info. Which makes sense, because most of the time the QR menu is the exact same as the physical one (just printed out). And those that are not the same just have more info on the website, like full nutritional content and such.

My experience with some restaurants is that they don't.

The QR menu is just a PDF of the printed menu.
