That's an idea, however investing in multiple 4x4 pieces of tempered glass ain't gonna be cheap either. Not to mention I don't see places like Le Crocodile placing them on top of their white table cloths lol

Yeah we do have it posted on the front to check out our menu on the website but most people still requested physical menus.

Almost every time I go out I’m like “fuck that was awesome.” It’s really not that hard to find but I still hear so many people keep going to the same places and being like “yeah it’s ok.” If it’s just ok fucking go somewhere better! Yeah it might be more expensive but paying $100 for an amazing experience 4x a month makes a lot more sense than paying $80 for an ok experience 5x a month.
I've been trying to keep up with the restaurant news, a couple of my old faves are not reopening which is sad. Our industry is already tough enough as it was with low margins now it's borderline impossible.
