    Then the menu is a broken webpage with “old” prices and the restaurant tries to charge you more than the menu prices. I thought the point of these were to be easily updated.

      Generally the best places to eat is where the have a simple single white A4 print out of a menu on a clipboard.

        Because a guy can only sell you a blackboard one time, and you can get chalk anywhere. When it’s online, some tech company can sell you their Menu-as-a-Service every month.

        Why would a restaurant pay for that? Look elsewhere in this thread for the story of the boss that thinks QR codes are magic spells or something.

      Restaurant: Best I can do is a PDF, which I don’t have the original to update it anymore.

      • Nah, a series of JPEGS. Which are displayed in a little Javascript carousel, which automatically flips the pages every 7 seconds without any user input and can’t be stopped from doing so.

        You laugh. There’s actually a restaurant around here whose website works that way. You have to kill the script from console if you don’t want to drive yourself insane.

        Kind of like the delis that have big monitors with prices on it and Scotch taped papers with different numbers on the screen or blocking out items they don’t have anymore.
