Side Topic (Menus With Photos): There seems perception in the US that menus with pictures of the food are less sophisticated or cater to a less discerning clientele. In Asia, photos of the food in the menu is more of the norm than the exception (even for more upscale places). I discover more items I like when the photos are present. I would take QR codes with foods photos over a physical menu without (even for a $$$$ restaurant.

Unless the photos are of a very good quality and the print hasn't been washed out over the year, food pictures in menus usually give me disgust.
Agree. That's point. I'd rather scan a QR code that links to great photos than have a printed menu with no photos. They informally call them food picture books in restaurants I've eaten at in China, Indonesia, Japan, and Singapore. Example: https://www.kawanointernational.com/assets/file/KADO%2008%20...
