Paint a QR code on the side of the van instead, I bet it would get more engagement even with a .com address.

Sadly I have no way of tracking that, because I would make the opposite bet. My guess is that 90+% of QR codes, that people aren't forced to scan somehow, are never used.

Lots of restaurants are forcing this. I stop going to them. I don't go to a coffee shop to spend 3-10 minutes futzing with phones instead of talking to the person I'm meeting.

Right? I went up to a cashier the other day and she said, “You know you can order from your table using your phone, right?”

But why would I want to learn some god awful system when I could tell her what I want in a sentence and let her do the data entry for me?

QR code requires you to scan it in that moment. A human-readable (and -recognizable) URL stands a chance at being remembered at a later date.

Not really, anymore. Android permits you to take a picture of a QR code and use it's URI later by going to the saved picture and clicking "Lens" (which activates Google's ML to identify QR codes).
