    Given that how restaurants present these various greatly, it wouldn’t be terribly unexpected for the official QR to be a sticker on the menu or table either

      I’ve been at restaurants where that’s exactly the case. The QR is just a sticker on the table. Or a laminated card with the code on it.

      Would be trivially easy to replace it with a malicious site.
