Prompted by a listener email, Adam, Joanna, and Zach talk about why many recently introduced technologies at bars and restaurants, like QR code menus, handheld payment devices, and others, might appeal to an owner's bottom line in the short term but repulse or upset many diners and drinkers. Please remember to subscribe to, rate, and review VinePair on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you get your episodes, and send any questions, comments, critiques, or suggestions to [email protected].
