There's a pho restaurant near where I work which wants you to scan a QR code at the table, then order and pay through their website instead of talking to a person. In three visits, I have not once managed to get past their captcha!

(The actual process at this restaurant is to sit down, fuss with your phone a bit, then get up like you're about to leave; someone will arrive promptly to take your order.)

I’ve only seen that at Asian restaurants near a university in my city. When I asked I was told that this is a common way in China and they get a lot of international students who prefer/expect it that way.
