Sorry, but why is pdf better than html? If pdf is better, would you prefer every website just downloaded a pdf to your phone when you visit their url, instead of serving you html? If not, why is it different for a restaurant menu?

It's better in the pragmatic sense of like, it's more likely to be updated. They already have a PDF or docx laying around because they had to design their print menu, so now they can just upload it. But yes, ideally the menu would be html and would be accurate and up to date and responsive on mobile.
