Nah. You’ll just be expected to flip through all the different fast food apps and check prices on your phone while you drive around the travel plaza. Good luck, pedestrians.
I don’t get the point of ordering by app if you have to go through the drive-through line anyway. I mean I know why they want you to do it, but I don’t understand why anyone would.
Eh, I don’t like interacting with people, so I’ll take any chance to minimize it, if not eliminate it entirely. So I use the app to specify how I want my burger (and my kids’). I’d rather do curbside, but if that isn’t an option, just giving a name or code at the intercom is better than having to repeat things 3 times and/or wonder if they heard me when they don’t say anything…
I don’t “app” at all and have turned around and left multiple restaurants when asked to scan a QR code for a menu.
I’m 100% with the boomers on this.
Ugh. The kid was desperate to go to this restaurant called The Sugar Factory, which has insane milkshakes. The menu was a QR code and it linked to a pdf of the paper menu they no longer had that you just had to zoom in and scroll around on. It was like 4 pages long too.
Also, it was totally not worth going to. Overpriced and not good.
I don’t know what I was expecting with a name like The Sugar Factory but my blood pressure spiked looking at this picture.
I did not get one of those. I stuck with booze.
I’d drink alcohol too if I was here…
That’s good info. A friend in NJ won’t shut up about them, so I’d for sure end up going there the next time I visit.
I’m lactose intolerant, but will (and have) absolutely power through the pain for a good milkshake. Gotta pick my battles with dairy.
I think I might be lactose intolerant. Like I can eat a bowl a cereal with milk no problem, and even ice cream is okay. However, cheese and (for god knows what reason) milkshakes will make my stomach go wonky.
But like you, I’ll happily drink a milkshake and suffer the consequences later. Fuck cheese tho, it tastes nasty to me.
I also have a stone fruit allergy, but every once in a while a peach is so good that I’ll eat one feel less than ideal afterward. Worth it.
Vegan milkshakes are good now
If the QR code takes me to a PDF or the restaurant’s webpage, that’s one thing. But if it takes me to the app store, I give up.
That’s still a step further than I’ll go. If my phone is required to be involved with the ordering process at all, it’s a dealbreaker (unless I’m ordering takeout over the phone that is, lol)
I’ve found it helps with accuracy. Especially when ordering for a family of 5. Plus it’s nice to pass my phone around and have people input their orders, rather than trying to blurt it all out at a drive thru speaker.
I pretty much only use the apps if I can.
There’s basically always some deal I can save a few bucks on. Easy to see any new menu items ahead of time. Coordinate the whole family order with all the customizations. Easier communication at the order box. There’s also usually some built-in rewards program.
Doesn’t the data mining bother you though?
My data has some value, but I can’t sell it, might as well get something for it. Using apps, I get like $200+/yr.
So that shows you that obviously your data is worth much more than $200/yr.
Oh god my nightmare is having an app for everything
Burger King’s Whopper Wednesday deal is only available if you order through the app. The regular price is like three times as much.
But I will say, I’m finally coming around to the fact that it’s not worth it at any price.
You’re paying for it in another way- by letting them harvest your data.
I mean I wouldn’t go to Burger King either way, but that’s why they have that deal.
