Rich neighborhoods get the rich neighborhood pricing. Middle class neighborhoods get the actual costs and the poors get directed to a page informing them that I’m booked solid. do you want a hand with setting that up?

morton Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I have always thought it would be neat if you could connect with your server/expo by text. When I want extra ranch I should not have to wait for the right moment; just zing a text and send the busboy. That moment when QR code menu's got some traction at the hieght of the covid shutdown was a great time to get takeout. Shops were bringing there A-Game and the lack of business left them with more attention do devote to it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty_habiT Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 My brother said that there are likely laws against doing difference in prices via QR code (or any other similar method). Basically you could make something but you'd have to be extremely good with the programming of it so that people wouldn't catch on to what is happening. A hacker type mindset would pinpoint this rather quickly I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a sound idea in theory but in practice I can see this being abused completely by Joe Dickhead Customer and using it as an excuse to short change the tip when the server isn't instantly on top of things.

mr.yuck Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I’m sure there is a way around that. Through the years Ive noticed that the more well to do clientele I have served have a much higher expectation of quality and cleanliness and thinking their opinion on a technical subject matters because they skimmed a few articles on the subject at hand. These people generally get taxed a PITA charge by everyone in the industry. I feel like there would be a way to bake this charge in to a separate category possibly in the way of travel charges, consulting fees, or design hours off the job. Im gonna turn my thinker up when I’m done for the day because once I have this frame work in place I’m also going to have to figure out how to get the QR code in front of people and also to actually use it.

Dirty_habiT Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Consultation fees being higher for PITA clients would be easy to get away with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Print 3 different business cards with with 3 different QR codes, each one points to a different website with different pricing. Wouldn't work for a restaurant but good for a contractor. When handing them out to future clients, just discern between the poor, med, rich, and give them the appropriate QR code. If you're ever somehow called out, the separate URL's create a layer 2 solution, with a built in plausible deniability: "I apologize for the confusion, but that's my old web site. Couldn't get the old web guy to update, or take it down. That's why he's the old web guy. I'm really sorry but I can't offer that pricing anymore. That's why I sent you to my new site."

These people generally get taxed a PITA charge by everyone in the industry. From my own experience as a technician, the bigger the client, the more bullshit, and risk you'll need to price into a job. Kinda cute when they jerk themselves off into thinking they're a more desirable client somehow because of their name, especially after you've already dealt with them before, it sucked, and they don't ever refer any clients. Nobody gives a fuck about names, dick sizes, or who I've done work for. They only care about quality, price, and if I'm headache to deal with. Half these motherfuckers have trouble remembering my name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALIgula Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I just wanted to add to the conversation without adding anything of importance. Went to one of those bikini vietnamese coffee shops in San Jose yesterday. Signs everywhere that say no cell phone/no photography etc. In the past they enforced that pretty hardcore... but now with the pandemic, QR codes on all the tables. The irony was not lost on me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
