[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No physical menu.  I don’t want to pull it up on my phone, thank you.[/quote]

YES!  The last thing I want to do at a restaurant with friends or family is have everyone stare at their phones.  But thank god we’re not getting Covid from touching a menu….[/quote]

+1,000  We were at a restaurant with a very long, complicated menu, think multiple pages almost like Cheesecake Factory type length.  We begged for a physical menu.  Restaurant doesn't have them anymore.[/quote]

I tend to think of more things moving to QR codes/online as not "leftover" but a lessons learned....along the lines of the continued use of video conference to enable hybrid work and meetings.

It isn't so much about it being COVID related, but something we learned that we should incorporate and continue moving forward.

Printed menus get dirty and spread germs, ANY germs.  Printed menus need to be replaced every time a menu item changes.  Printed menus are just another THING that the establishment has to distribute, collect, and store.

Sure, I don't alwats love having to pull it up on my phone, but I think that is more rooted in habit and my resistance to change than the printed menu being in any way better.[/quote]

Phone menus are the only one I really dislike.  A well designed e-menu is OK, but not great - but it has to be designed for mobile.  Daily housekeeping seems really unnecessary at hotels, and I often refused it even pre-covid (stay out of my space!).

Hybrid meetings are a life saver in a pinch. I generally prefer in person personally, but when I had to lead a meeting when my kid was sick and spouse & backup care unavailable, I was super grateful it had been as "figured out" as possible.

My other favorite COVID leftover policy is no change fees for airline tickets.  Thank god.[/quote]
