GOOD pictures that are legible!
I once converted the PDF menu to images and uploaded the images to Google Maps.
You sir are a scholar and a gentleman.
It’s a pain to do right. Lighting, positioning. People freaking out over you taking photos.
People freak out when you photograph the menu?
Sometimes.
You mean the owners, I guess?
Yeah, always consider possible conditions and obstacles.
I fear that most are immune to people freaking out over such behavior, sadly.

My favorites are always the random family vacation pictures accidentally uploaded to gmaps. It always tells a tiny slice of life story about people I will never meet.
Have that feeling sometimes in places like a full market, an airport or visiting a city full of people walking around. I won’t probably see these people again in my life, yet they will go on to their lives doing their things. This is the only moment we will be this close, never to see them again. I’m like, there’s so many people in this whole world all with so many different wants and needs, and I ain’t knowing 1/1000 of them.
Or, interesting in the opposite direction, I was once on vacation in another country over summer break during elementary school years, visiting a tourist site of some sort, and saw one of my classmates there. Parents didn’t coordinate plans or even share them, just a random coincidence that we happened to not only go to the same general area at the same time, not only the same specific tourist location in an area that had a bunch of options, but ended up on the same section of path at the same time.
Makes me wonder how many other times I’ve randomly been even just an hour away from someone else I knew in an area neither of us were often in.
I’m apparently in the top 10% of restaurant reviewers simply because I do this everywhere I go.
Needed now more than ever to expose bullshit… At a local Thai restaurant, only menu listing on yelp was 3 years old, showing an $11 Pad Thai. Actual menu had all the prices sharpied out, and when you asked for current prices… $17 for a small portion, basic Pad Thai!!!
Noodle / pizza prices skyrocketing is such bullshit. Those dishes are cheap as dirt to make and no way justify the crazy price hike.
100%, especially considering I’m in a small town, rent and business costs are relatively low and they are not sourcing high quality ingredients or anything, just the same standard staple Sysco/USFoods crap that schools, prisons and hospitals also use.
people who do this are such chads
Not a fan of the sigma stuff, but even I will admit it is indeed a chad move.
bruh, that’s copyright infringement!
Without a description… just a pic of a dish.
People who take pictures of menus and post them on Google maps are shirtless?
I also like training ai and providing content for giant corporations
