Bonus points for the menu PDF file being hundreds of megabytes because it's their high res file for the printing company. Double bonus if their restaurant is a mobile service dead zone.

And needing a lot of panning and zooming due to being based on a full page format which is unsuitable for a phone.

It also feels awkward because you stimulate everyone to pick up their phone as soon as you come in. I'm still from the generation that considers that something too avoid :)

One restaurant had this - but the menu was in FOUR separate PDFs that you had to zoom and squint at; basically unusable.

Always amusing when the menu is on QR but the wine list is a normal printed paper.

You've got it backwards. The big files are menus that have been scanned with no compression at high resolution. Most of that info is vector/font on a properly designed menu.
