nelson@lemmy.worldto Europe@feddit.org•Young adults in Europe are putting away smartphonesEnglish132·18 days agoIt has some advantages for the restaurant though.
- They can easily update the menu without having to reprint it ( update to lunch menu, typos, … )
- It doesn’t get damaged by spilling drinks on it.
- it’s cheaper
- doesn’t waste paper
Some restaurants will go even further and let you order/pay and the just bring your order to the table. The places that do this often still allow you to order through a waiter/waitress though.
What exactly is lazy about it? That they won’t make the effort to print it and laminate it/ put it in a fancy cover?
Like with e-readers, you can complain it doesn’t have the same feel and doesn’t give the same feeling when reading it. Even say it’s impractical if you want to go back and forth. But to claim it is just pure greed and laziness is a bit of a stretch.
The biggest downside imo would be that (a) you’d need a capable smartphone, (b) a functioning internet connection/website and © it being too complicated for older generations/less tech savvy people.
You’re entitled to not like it though :). I’m not too fond of it myself either.

But my current country is full on “you’ll need to work longer to pay all the pensions. Otherwise it’s not sustainable. Also - you probably won’t have a pension when you get old enough so better start saving! Speaking of saving, selling any kind of stock or fund now means you’ll have to pay a 30% tax on the Profit you made with it. Good luuuuuuck”.

I could have missed it, but is there any mention somewhere of compatibility with existing android/iOS apps?
One of the reasons the windows phone died was a lack of apps as they entered the market too late and app devs weren’t very keen on building the app on yet another platform.
