Shitty restaurant service story
>be me
>live in 2023, 2 years past the meme flu scare
>most restaurants that converted to QR orders stick with it for convenience
>most restaurant QR orders work fine
>sit down in a Nando's for the first time in like 3 years
>waiter comes over and mumbles something about "order then select pay at counter" or some shit
>assume the QR ordering system works like every where else: scan code>open menu>select items>go to cart and press submit>order goes to register>pay at cashier on the way out just by giving table number
>lol apparently not, you're supposed to order, then select to either pay online or cash immediately, then pay for the food before the order gets registered
>sit there thinking the order went through for 15 minutes until waiter comes over and says exaclty what I should've done
>end up waiting another 15 minutes for food after paying once the order finally gets through

Who the fuck through this was a good idea. Why not just plaster "PAY FOR YOUR FOOD AT THE COUNTER AFTER KEYING IN YOUR ORDER THROUGH THE QR SYSTEM" at the front of your restaurant instead of letting the customer fumble around? Why not coach your fucking waiters to explain this shit properly instead of just awkwardly standing around when a customer has obviously failed to work the system after they sat there for 15 minutes and still no orders went to the register? Why not just turn into a self service restaurant if you're going to make your customers pay before eating? Why even changer your fucking operations in the first place, people paid after the meal in Nando's before that. Is my country the only Nando's with this cucked system? What the fuck
This is the only, and I repeat, only restaurant that has customers pay immediately through the QR system I've encountered out of the 100s of restaurants I've been to. And judging by the complains on their twitter, many others have complained about the retarded change. Who the fuck thought its a good idea?

All they literally had to do was copy paste the systems every other restaurant was using. You know, the one that doesn't immediately have you go to the cashier to pay before your order registers.
The only reason I stayed and waited was because every other restaurant in that (small)mall was either full or not serving things I wanted that day, and I had time to burn. But damn if I'm ever going back there anymore

I think it is super lame when restaurants have paper menus or menus that you have to look at. The waiter should have the entire menu and the correct prices memorized, and be capable of reciting the entire thing to me. I'll give it a 5% tip if the thing sings the menu to me.
