A nice middle ground yet that tablets can be costly for restaurants to implement and maintain

An even nicer and cheaper middle ground is a color-printed menu with photos, and/or a larger menu with photos over the counter. For customer, it's all the benefit of a digital menu with none of the downsides.

Of course, all the downsides are the very reason restaurants are switching to digital menus in the first place, which is something people need to be reminded of. In cases of "I can't believe they replaced a perfectly good X with inferior but 'modern tech' Y", the surprise is usually the person not realizing the vendor is adversarial, and Y is giving some extra benefit to them at the expense of the customer.

and of course, weekend, daily or hourly price changes. You cant surge on a printed menu.
