There was an NYT article about how restaurants are actually dropping QR code menus due to customers disliking them and spending less with QR menus.

The issue isn’t the QR, it’s the weird dynamic of a restaurant with a guy who shows you to a table, then you’re ordering from some stupid webpage.

For the price of eliminating underpaid waitstaff, the customer has a weird, slow ordering experience that cannot accommodate undocumented needs. The customer response is: fuck you.

Fast food is similar with order kiosks.

It really depends on the place. Taco bell and burger king both handle changes really well in their app
