I don't think a company should really try to trim letters on their TLD to make their menu QR codes less dense. But, setting things up so there's not a long asset path to encode would be Very Good.

very short TLDs are incredibly expensive, and for a company you'd want a longer, more descriptive TLD often anyway (within limits). Using redirects, though, is bad from a security perspective (there's no chance for the user to detect a QR code has been hijacked)

especially that links to individual tables, such that a server can see at a glance which table(s) have paid their checks, and which are outstanding. So again, as I've used QR payment here, someone at the door needs to scan completed transactions and figure out which corresponds to which

At a restaurant with many tables, presumably there is a single payee account that is receiving the funds from ABA App. *as far as I know/have seen* there is not an ability to give all of your servers a read only view of the ABA transactions,

That's fine (in the example above, certainly there's a lot of the URL that could be removed with smarter placement in the server's URL-space), but I also don't want companies using URL shorteners or QR code URL services.

mate, I've used the QR payment systems in real life, I just said that the payment flow is a bit rough (and to clarify, rougher at larger restaurants than small vendors for sure) in the "providing feedback that the payment was correctly made" sense. I'm sure it'll get worked out

My canonical first memory of using a QR menu was just after pandemic at a place where the cell data signal was terrible and the URL didn't work right on the restaurant's wifi for some stupid reason. So I had to use the backup paper menus.

I've used QR to pay and it's the most awkward transaction flow, it's actually bonkers. Do I...hold up the web browser on my phone to the server to show I paid with QR? Do they go check their Venmo/payment app to verify?

I can't find a good tool that shows all the extra parameters inherent to a QR code like error correction level, but that visually appears to have a medium EC level. As an example, here's that URL with low EC and high EC. I don't mind the longer URLs but I wish they used high/highest EC more often.

QR code generated for https: //www. chocolaterie-koelbener.ch/assets/resources/Files/Menues/Karte-Klosterplatz.pdf with low error correction level QR code for https: //www. chocolaterie-koelbener.ch/assets/resources/Files/Menues/Karte-Klosterplatz.pdf with high error correction level applied
