Disappearance of Menus in Restaurants

[gintonic]

No I wasn't, I said 'my table' meaning my table in my home, that's why I also said dining or eating out.
Luckily I don't have any friends or family that are that ill mannered that they would have a phone at the table.
I consider it as rude as talking with your mouth full , eating with your mouth open, etc.

clearly none are influencers, vloggers, tiktok reviewers.

Are you JRM? can I collect my £10 (PayPal of course)

We all know that the sort of restaurant that doesn't have proper menus is going to be shite.

nonsense - Sushi and Korean BBQ isn't shite.

I was in a Sushi restaurant the other day - in a bit of a rush as needed to eat and then go pick up kids from school.. Was prompted to use the Q code / App. Logged in - chose everything and then went to pay - Apple Pay.... Spinning wheel, didn't work... Humph... Spoke to staff, said was in a rush "So sorry order from us if you wish..." Did so. computer system crashed.. took 5 minutes to re-boot..

Walked out got a sandwich from a person 2 minutes away in about 8 seconds.

Bloody computers! without any of it, we would have ordered and ate.. does my head in.

Why?

Because little tiny changes to the day to day existence on this planet are worthy of a huge amount of concern ... the big changes affecting millions will take care of themselves, one way or another.

This is infinitely worse than a QR code menu.

Issue of poor restaurant lighting is compounded by the ridiculous trend of printing menus in deliberately small fancy font on dark coloured and textured paper. Unbelievably stupid.

All the more reason for smartphone menus then ...

yes my wife who has glaucoma has to get her smart phone to either illuminate the menu with the torch or to take a photo so she can zoom in.

In Ravenna one year, there was a reversed McDonalds sign over an empty shop. When I enquired at the hotel, I was told they got rid of it, as they didn't like it in town. I like Ravenna.
Italy, home of the slow food movement.

This restaurant/bar’s menu exactly fits that description. We were all struggling to read it! Absolutely bonkers.

I'm not talking about street food.

They aren't, been to here https://umurestaurant.com/ Japanese fine refined dining.

Are you dismissing a whole food culture (Korean BBQ) as street food? You really need to get out more.

Can we talk about music in restaurants (which we hate) or is that another thread?

I helped you

Er....



You were talking about a restaurant.

You're mistaken, maybe I wasn't clear enough but now you know.

I love Korean barbecue and I wouldn’t class it as street food. For one thing you literally have to cook the food yourself at the table. Try doing that while walking…

.....and people taking photos of their food....I mean, wtf is all that about?

What gets me is a service charge on the bill. I am happy to go into the kitchen and collect my food, lets completely remove serving staff and menus.
