So many places now just assume you have a phone. I've been to restaurants that don't have physical menus by default and just have a QR on the table.

I’ve never been to one that didn’t have a paper menu for the elderly or otherwise less abled. Or they have a tablet for you to use.

From the article (emphasis mine):

The Callback is built to do many everyday things, even without a browser. You get QR codes, maps, home security apps, global cellular bands, predictive text messaging, and popular communication app support.

QR codes in restaurants are usually just links. Without a browser how would you follow them?

You can scan a QR code, but what's the point if you don't have a browser to follow the link to the menu?
