On: Please don't make me use another QR code restaurant menu

[phreack]

Yeah, QR codes should come at a minimum with a WiFi password written on them exactly because of this. Even better would be not to even bother with all of that but it's easy for owners to fall for grifters selling "the future" to them.

All examples that I have seen require the download of a PDF.

If the restaurant isn't smart enough to compose an HTML menu which is very friendly with mobile devices, then they should not be using QR codes.

This.

If you're forcing me to look at your menu on my tiny screen, optimise for that. Do !not! optimize for fricking print when you're not going to give me the printed version! Grrrrrmbl.

My favourite are the ones that straight up give you the print-prepped PDF: CYMK color space, bleed, crop marks, test patterns and a whopping 12 MB for a single page.
