QR code menus spark backlash over data collection, accessibility

Josh Nicholas complains about QR code menu requiring phone verification

Nicholas posted on Bluesky about a restaurant that required him to verify his phone number to order via QR code, resulting in spam before his food arrived.

“Am getting rather sick of QR codes as the only way to order at restaurants. This one required me to verify my phone number. I got my first bit of spam before the food had even arrived”
