i would like a moment to briefly note how important it is that benoit blanc is an older queer character. an older, happy queer character.
we are missing a good chunk of an entire generation of queer people due to the aids crisis. blanc living his cute happy little life, probably in his fifties, with his lovely partner, is such a beacon of hope. for me, at least.
If I go into one more restaurant and see a qr code menu I’m gonna puke like sorry but nope! No! That’s not easier! Menus are already reusuable just give me one! Easy five second interaction. What if my phone is bad at qr codes? What if I’m on a low battery? Paper, paper, paper. A hard copy. Physical objects lets get this bread. Ordering through the app when you’re sitting at the restaurant is even worse!!! The boomers are right about this one.
With a QR code you gotta:
scan the QR code
load the website (god help you if your reception is bad and you don’t know the wifi password)
find the menu on the website
Then you can read the menu and order.
This is objectively worse than looking at a paper menu that has a readable area >10x the size of a phone.
