In the US, QR codes are being scanned less, with a menu management and printing platform saying that \u201cthe total number of scans dropped by about 27%\u201d in the past two years, and the number of restaurants generating new QR codes has also dropped. QR codes that already exist are largely \u201cdormant,\u201d with 75% of these codes getting scanned fewer than 90 times in the past year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Why people prefer physical menus over digital:<\/span><span style=\"\">Digital menus can negatively impact the<\/span><span> ambience of the dining experience, restaurateurs tell the NYT, saying that phones\u2019 blue light can dampen the mood of a romantic dinner, for example, and rein in the communication and intimacy of a meal. But it\u2019s not only customers who say the QR codes are unideal \u2014 waiters say they struggle to pick up on the usual visual cues to understand when people are ready to order. Restaurant owners also say that QR code menus can actually result in patrons ordering fewer things per meal, since they can be too lazy to scan the menu again to order a dessert or look at more drink options. Meanwhile, scanned menus can be more expensive for restaurants to create and maintain than printing traditional paper menus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">There are still some pros to going digital, though: <\/span><span style=\"\">The upside to digital menus is their<\/span><span style=\"\"> consolidation of the full ordering experience \u2014 some restaurants allow customers to select and order their food, and pay all in the same place.
