Same in Germany. Also for payment with WeChat in China.

Here (Austin) it’s used in movie theaters that had seat food ordering and I gotta say thee execution is flawless now that the camera has a built in QR.

I think if QR could start over again and have support from the camera without the user needing to figure an app to use/get etc. things might have been different.

I went to a restaurant the other day and it had one of those Coke Freestyle soda machines. There was a QR code on the screen which I scanned with my phone. This opened a website with drink choices. I put my cup under the dispenser and pushed the Barq's Root Beer button on the website on my phone which dispensed the drink from the machine.

They also inspired similar usage for looking up a profile/resource in Snapchat, Spotify, Venmo, etc.
