going to a restaurant to order something you can make at home
>>21968496>Restaurant has special>Its just a slightly different menu item sold at a higher price
>>21968524>grilled cheese (unless it's on some fancy bread with some exotic cheeses)>toast and coffee
>>21968496>add meat: $5i see this a lot at Asian places where they'll list lo mein or something with a base price of $10.99 and you think it's a reasonable price, then you realize that doesn't include any kind of meat at all and you need to pay extra or you'll get plain noodles.
>>21968496QR codes can get fucked, give me a menu you utter bunch of niggers
>Chinese restaurant >predefined combination plates don't include everything you're craving Why don't they just let you build a combination plate?
>>21968496My big issue was restaurants having the QR code menus. Luckily, most of the local options got bullied into stopping the use of them.
>>21968542Now look here, listen, DSP, they can run their business how they want. So settle down wingstop of redempion.
>>21968496>shareables
>>21968703What happened to just using normal names? Appetizers, entrees, desserts, drinks, kids menu (if applicable). Wow, that was hard.
>>21968577>>21968659Thirding this.
>>21968659I really don't mind QR codes THAT much. I feel like its annoying if the restaurant has a menu so small they could just print it out on cheap printer paper. What chaps my ass is when the QR code doesn't work or it does work but doesn't include drinks then the drinks menu IS a physical menu they have to bring you.
Zoomer/internet slang integrated into the menu. Pic related was posted just today on Facebook in a group where local restaurants post specials, created during COVID to help keep local places alive through all the restrictions and other bullshit. What could possibly require such a wordy post, you might wonder. A fucking grilled ham and cheese sandwich.
>>21968742Pic related, the sandwich in question.
>>21968659QR codes are just a lazy half step between a paper menu and something like a Japanese tablet menu. It's both cheap AND inconvenient.
>restaurant with "quirky" or vulgar names for items
>>21968742100% chatgpt generated
>>21968808I've never run a restaurant so I'm admittedly speaking from a place of ignorance, but if you don't have the thirty seconds it takes to write a description of your newest menu item and instead have to rely on AI, you might need to work on your time management.
>>21968804Been there.Chicken breast? No, it's a "hen's tit".Beef tongue? No, it's a "cow's French kiss".Jesus Christ, could you BE any more millennial?
>burger joint>under every burger on the menu is is "add cheese for $1"
>>21968804I'm not some pearl clutching woman but the gradual acceptance of vulgarity in advertising and professional business disgusts and irritates me to no end.
>>21968542I miss the troll channels. Also, what happened to this fat fuck?
>mandatory tip of 18% for parties of 6 or more>x% "service charge" for every item on the menu
>>21968496What the fuck is a "handheld"? I thought we were talking about food not gameboys.
>>21969091It's as stupid as it sounds. Burgers, sandwiches, tacos, etc.
corn dogs
>>21968659>QR code links to third party ordering service>Service requires all your card info and email>Also carries a percent surcharge other than card fee that wouldn't have been applicable otherwiseVERY common in Aus capital cities and should be shamed.
>>21968949AgreedIt feels like a gross attempt to be personal/relatable. I make vulgar jokes with friends, not strangers or fucking businesses.
>>21969385Yeah. I'm no prude, not by any stretch, but I see some of the shit they sell in the pharmacy section of the grocery store and it gets pretty explicit (or worse, infantile). "Booty Wipes" instead of "hemorrhoid wipes." Shit like that. Just seems rude. Maybe I'm thinking too much into it.
Easily when the menu tries way too fucking hard to play up the joke/gimmick of the restaurant and just becomes annoying to read.
>>21968804The NEW!!! Chicken Paizuri Sando - Two THICK, PLUMP, MEATY FRIED BIRD TITS Placed in-between BOUNCY, SHIMMERING brioche potato buns with FAT strips of pickles SLAMMED in-between - DRENCHED in CREAMY Buttermilk Ranch. $13.99 - add AMAZEBALLS Garlic Parmesan Spicy Potato Stixxx $3.99 - Cheese $1.99 - Ya Gotta Get It HOT $2.99
>>21968524>Going into a thread to comment your too good for the thread
>>21969460holy soul...
>>21968496>Add Protein >>Chicken >>Beef>>Tofu>>Chef's Cum
>>21969791I've eaten at this place and it's not fucking "soul", it's a downhill restaurant that used to be decent and the food is just flavorless garbage now. The menu being godawful to read is the least worst thing about it.
>>21969460Holy cringe What is Po Forks?I guess poor folks?
>>21968659>order at your table>scan this QR code>pay and tip before you order anything (25% recommended thanks so much!!)>3-5% surcharge for using the QR code systemname a more iconic combo
>>21969956>call in a carryout order>get there, she flips around the tablet>"it's gonna ask you a question and ask for a signature for your order">the "question" is how much you'd like to tip>on a fucking carryout orderTipping is truly out of fucking control. Mr. Pink was right all along.
>>21969460Holy fucking CHRIST, I hate this retarded "spell everything like a stereotypical toothless hick might pronounce it" shit.
>hows this table for you?How about we not sit next to the bathrooms? >would you like a water?Lady, beer has plenty of water. I've had 6 and I keep pissing. Why would I want a glass of flavorless water from a soda gun that hasn't been cleaned in 3 years?>BLASTING FUCKING MUSICI've walked out of places for this. No I'm not going to shout at the freebirds employee for my order. No, I'd rather not listen to shitty pop music while eating lunch. >Theres about a 45 minute waitNo. I'm not waiting in line for food. This isn't communist russia, we're eating when we fucking feel like it.
>>21968799>qr menu: japan
>>21969933Po Folk's*https://pofolks.net/pofolkspensacolaHave at it, but it wasn't worth going to when I was in town so it sure as fuck isn't worth traveling to. Probably even worse now.>>21969968Yeah it's fucking awful and the food matches the menu
>>21969972>waitress asking if you want water as a courtesy is a pet peeveThis one's being a bit touchy.
>>21970062The menu clearly says FORKS though so I still don't get it But thanks for the link I had a good laugh. So glad I don't live within 500 miles of this "restaurant"
>>21970073They probably misspelled their own restaurant's name in the middle of forcing the incest accentShit restaurants lestaurants like these are my favorite to look at reviews for
>>21970080Bet this faggot just didn't notice the tip option when ordering. I'd bet it was defaulted to 3 and you have the option to remove it
>>21968804You're gonna hate this
>>21968950Last I heard of him he was involved in some retarded Keemstar thing, hit his wife on camera, and hopefully never came back.
>>21968809That description would probably take a little longer than 30 seconds to write, but you or I could write a less god-awful description in 30 seconds flat easily.I guess that's the kind of retarded shit they think will work on their customers.
>>21970088That's fucking illegal
>>21970270why is it illegal?
>>21968804If the item has a silly name I call it by it's regular name "bacon cheeseburger please" or I just point.I'm not saying "I will have one bac-tastic cheeseburgero thank you".
>>21970269*Wednesday Special*Ham, turkey, cheddar, and pickles, grilled in an herbed butter on our homemade sourdough. Pairs great with one of our homemade soups or salads. Come try one today!

>>21970276Yeah even if it was actually annoying to think up an attractive description of your food(it shouldn't be if you're planning on people wanting it), using AI to make your product descriptions is just asking for someone to come in ordering an item that doesn't actually exist.
>>21970275
>>21970277Yeah, that's the shit.One cheeseburger please.
>>21970283"Fresh fruit combo please"orme with the flyer, pointing, "this one please"
>>21968496>"two crazy bros with a dream" micro-breweries/gastropubsOther anons ITT have touched on it. Millennial hipster faggots watching 5 seasons of kitchen nightmares and running out and getting ahold of business loans. All the while being too retarded to do the basic research to realize 90% of restaurants fail in their first year, and 95% fail within 3 years. I'm glad all those fuckin places are going out of business. I hope the millennial dudebros lost their ASSES on those stupid places. Fuckin $15 burger and a basket of fries costs $7 extra. I hope all those faggots die sad. It's like if Mumford and sons started a burger joint with shitty beer.
>>21970284Sir, that's not on our menu, please say the name of the item on the menu that you'd like and we'd be happy to get it freshly made for you by one of our Patty Virtuosos :)
>>21970293Sir, you are killing our Community Enterprise by refusing to support Independent Ventures like ours
>>21970290No, thank you. Goodbye.And then they tackle me for not paying the 25% mandatory service charge on my almost-but-didn't-quite-happen $16 order.
>>21970295Cheensburger
>>21970277This is 100% the fault of millennials
>>21968742This post takes 12 emojis to say "meat and cheese sandwich with pickle and seasoning".It's like 2 or 3 emojis per ingredient.
>>21970305Inflation really is getting out of hand..
>>21970302That post was 100% the fault of Copilot, I'm afraid.
>>21970287I just feel so babied and infantile saying stupid shit like that. It's a fucking pancake with fruit on it.>>21970288Is that a real statistic? Christ almighty if so. I knew it was bad, just didn't know how bad. But it makes sense.
>>21970329Those are definitely the kind of numbers that have been floating around for many years.
>>21970329Food trucks have skewed the statistics because they're much easier to keep going even if you're hemorrhaging money. But the failure rate numbers for ACTUAL pubs/restaurants within the first few years is INSANELY high. Let me ask you this, how many of those millennial hipster gastropubs are still open in your area? In 2015, there was like 30 in my area. Now I think there's only 5 or so left, and they're struggling
>>21970348I'm lucky that I live in a pretty relaxed but "old school" area. Small city, 12k people or so. Almost everything here is fast food or restaurants that have been around for decades, with a few exceptions. Not much has changed at those places aside from the prices. But I guess that's unavoidable.
>>21970088One of these things is not like the others
>The first thing the menu says is "Tipping isn't mandatory but in polite society we show our appreciation for services, thanks!">Tipping is also included in the price
