I just leave restaurants that have gone to the online-only menu. It's usually an indicator that there are other terrible cuts in service and quality going on as well.

I leave because I go to a restaurant to enjoy a meal with my family and friends and to connect. Forcing everyone to stare at their phones for the first five minutes is a bad start.
It makes it easier for them to regularly increase pricing without printing new menus. I wonder if any restaurants are doing A/B testing with pricing
I'm not generally evil, so I never would have thought of doing this. Therefore it must be the correct answer.
I’ve thought of this - if there’s no paper menu available, to avoid tracking, I always just search for the restaurant and navigate to the menu from their webpage rather than using a QR code.

I would if I'm by myself but if I'm out with friends I'm not comfortable making everyone leave.

I've seen no such correlation.

Most I see restaurants switching to card only, pay in app. I can seem some benefits from them.

* they don't need cash to make change * they have no money to be robbed * employees can't pocket any money

Most of my friends like going cashless so they see it as a benefit too.
