That is just stupidity by the restaurant and developers
No I Think it's stupidity of that woman
Yes they should add NFC to confirm the user is nearby or at least otp
This is just a made up story...
Think about this...
How many times have u seen ur followers/friends seen ur pic immediately after u upload it? Plus, how many times people order immediately as soon they see a pic that was just uploaded...
Plus, how long do you think that women stayed in the restaurant... considering the bill from the online ordered food was worth $60k?
I hope, these people realise how much food u get for $60k...
I don't understand how this works. In order to pay through the QR code, we have to still pay our money, right?
@@nilanjasa007that qr code goes to restaurant website and there you can order the food to be delivered at the table. There is an option to pay at the counter pr pay online.
So they tried charging her $60000 without delivering the food worth of $60000 to her 😂😂, whoever madeup this story lacks common sense.
Exactly, if I use a restaurant's QR code from someone's photo of a QR code. The app would charge my phone account and deliver it to my address.
@@Daft_Dhwelkmaybe its different system there. Qr code may be individualised for the table. Rather than code made by the payment app, it could be the qr code for internal use by the restaurant only.
@@SiddharthRaiyanii agree... Like u know how upi lite doesn't need verification for giving money so it may be reversed
@@SiddharthRaiyaniYou're right I read the story and it's an individual QR code for the table so you scan the code and order food and they give table service rather than waiter coming to you.
Restaurant confirmed with the lady before processing the food obviously because it's extremely large quantity. And they understood the situation so moved a table for her and ignorance all the orders came on the QR code.
She didn't have to pay anything because they didn't prepare anything.
First google the meaning of QR code!! 😂
You can create the QR code as per your preference.
Which means, all QR code doesn't mean only for payment!!
Here the QR code is for the table number. So if you scan the QR code, it will redirect you to their site from where you can order. It doesn't have to be prepaid.
No, our QR code not work like that....😂😂😂
Kon ha tu?
It exists in india too. Qr code on the table is mostly for ordering tge food to tge table.
Kaunse gaon me rehta hai ye? 😂
I think QR code in India is only to pay the bill and not to order food.
@@Tarnished674 What do you mean? By Just scanning a QR code which food you get chappathi with curry or chicken Biryani? I don’t understand how you can order a specific food using QR code on the table. And even if someone can order its a huge redflag for restaurant to stop the order and recheck rather than just give a bill for 60000 Dollars
What do they mean they couldn't track down the people that placed the orders?
They had to deliver the food to those guys didn't they?
Well qr code was assigned to a specific table so whenever someone ordered it will be shown that table no.___ has placed order. Its not a payment qr 😅.
@@tapabrataghatak7963exactly. Its like a generic non customer specific qr code. Which should have been illegal.
@@kaycey7361nah its good just needs 1 verification step like waiter coming and confirming ur order through the qr code once, like it generally is done.
Many restaurants are going the extra digital way. They will not give you the printed menu but will give you printed qr code. You have to scan the qr code to open the restaurant website which gives you whole menu. This restaurant had extra feature where you could select the items and they will be registered for your table and it would be directly updated on the computer inside the kitchen. Even i have used this digital menu feature in some restaurant using qr code.
This is at a dine-in restaurant, not home delivery. Read the story posted below. Not every QR code is for payment
Taking pics of food rather than eating it is one of the worst habit.
Ikr!
Ugh fkin hell😂
Habit 😂
@@educatorofneedy5756 🙌
How did that Habit affect you or you are just a dumb ass judging everything 😂
This makes zero sense. WHO did they deliver the food to? Obviously you have the address of the people placing the “orders”. An average meal at a restaurant can last for about 2 hours or so? How did the bill have $60,000 worth of orders delivered in that span of time by the time she finished eating? So many questions. Can’t believe this terrible journalism.
QR code was for the table that you order from the seat. She put it online so you order to get me to the table not home delivery. Basically what you tell the waiter to get you
@@rappymic2595but the order doesn't come all together. It comes dish by dish so after the 1st dish which was no order came she should have rejected.
@@beastgaming7879 I think dishes were under preparation when she had asked for her bill. That is why she wasn't charged if she started eating it with whatever coming lol the restaurant would not have let got for free
@@rappymic2595 might me. News left out so much information.
Finally, I found someone who doesn't believe in a story that's put in feintnof them...
These guys at Wion have lost their credibility...by making up stories
I am sure restaurant would have checked before preparing food worth 60,000 USD. That is a lot of food. So basically you guys are showing random video clips of people eating and telling random story
🎉😂
QR codes on the table is the digital menu. I dont think ot can be used for ordering food. Some thing wrong in the news
You can order food as well in some restaurants…..
But you can do this in China 😂
Konse gaon mei rehta hai bhai.
You can order food only for the table. Whats wrong with the news is that Gravitas is lying. The restaurant knew the girl was not placing the orders but gave her a bill anyway to play with and also maybe tell her to be careful next time she takes a photo. The people who placed the orders online just did it for fun.
@@alphazero5653 How can you order the food by a QR code in india please explain.
Makes no sense, restaurants usually double check large orders before prep.
So, the developers linked Qr code to customer rather than table?
China☕
It's a lot easier to tell the waiter or the waitress what you want
Yes the restaurant is also taking orders and delivering to another address while order is placed from table no 5.
Some things not adding up... This is not possible
It is.. I have seem a similar system at a restaurant. They used qr to link. You can palce order and you won't be charged at the time. But the place I was, they confirmed each item before preparing those.
So yeah anyone can create an order from anywhere and without paying first.
But here, in Indian restaurants we get a OTP when we scan the QR code for the first time and they provide a receipt after placing the order. If it wasn't ordered by anyone on the table, we can refuse it.
In Kolkata, when we ask for QR code, the waiter brings it. Then we pay through gpay/phonepe.
For orders we scan the menu but give manual order
That isn’t a qr code for payment app but qr code of the table through which you can tell the waiter what food that table needs. Its just the digital version of waiter waiting to write your order with pen on a book. So essentially all the viewers made all the crazy orders on her behalf for her table.
Many restaurants are going the extra digital way. They will not give you the printed menu but will give you printed qr code. You have to scan the qr code to open the restaurant website which gives you whole menu. This restaurant had extra feature where you could select the items and they will be registered for your table and it would be directly updated on the computer inside the kitchen. Even i have used this digital menu feature in some restaurant using qr code.
Even though this QR code was only for placing orders, the software should have been able to track who is placing the orders.
Anyways, it's made in China. 🤷🏻♂️😅
@@alokkadam4416 yes, but the computer will already make a bill according to the order and send lest of all the items to make in kitchen in the computer placed in kitchen. They might have started making a few dishes but when they show items kept being added they would have alerted the customer personally and solved the issue by human intervention. The food items are only meant for the table but because of the mischief of people online it made it hard time for restaurant and customers. Its classic scenario of schadenfreude.
Its absolute nonsense. 60,000 dollars of food items from 1 table (QR code) with in an hour or two !??? What kind of sofware, management they are !!?? Robots??
If they order the food they should have gotten those orders to her table
Couldn't track them down ? well how did they place the order and delivery address ?
So anyone can use that QR code to anonymously order regardless of who is sitting at that table? I WOULD NEVER EAT AT THAT TYPE OF RESTAURANT. Never trust stupid people to prepare your food as you never know what kind of corners they cut, food safety, restaurant cleanliness, food quality, ingredients & preperation, info security, etc
You figured out the nonsnese but you barking up the wrong tree. This news channel is lying. You can only place order on the table and the estaurant figured it out and smply gave her a bill to play with her. No way they would prepare the food and the orders had to come like anything cause obvioulsy everyone who saw the photos decided to just play a prank on her. They did not expect any food you can't order food delivery from a QR coded meant for the table.
Why would people place their order using her QR code if they cannot receive the order they placed ? ( the restaurant cannot track them down ) Plus if someone is going to place the order using the QR code wouldn't I receive the order ( meal ) only then comes the bill ...
There is something in this that I don't get ...
In China the QR codes on tables are either payment codes and menus or just menus. It’s a normal way to avoid congestion at the counter when pleasing orders
$ 60,000 food needs a lot of raw food supplies. This story is over exaggerated. Media are loosing their credibility .
The restaurant couldn't understand how the bill came by. Maybe she ate the building in it😢
Photographing food before consumption lacks genuine respect, considering many worldwide struggle to afford certain meals. Such actions may seem insensitive to those facing food insecurity, highlighting the importance of mindfulness and empathy when sharing experiences, especially in the context of basic necessities like food.
Wait? Why would she be charged? The QR are supposed to be unique per table in a restaurant and for the restaurant. A large order costing 60k should already alerted the staff that theres something going on with that table.
guys.. the restaurant didn't deliver 60k worth of food. the people online used the QR code to access the tables ordering form and placed orders worth 60k online for that table... the restaurant obviously knew something was wrong and switched her table. people are so confused and think they delivered 60k worth of food in an hour 😂 they cant track who they were cause the QR code just sends them to a specific website thats used for just that table. no registration or anything needed. if the developers were smart, they should have only made it accessible from a local wifi network and force the customers to connect to it to place their order
This is not news ..this is just a technical issue or a glitch ! This would have been news if the customer and the restaurant management were in court fighting for the bill.
She is making us aware..
@@anuragpandey2004 She is lying No such thing happened. The restaurant obvioulsy knew the orders were not being placed from her table. But they probably gaver her the bill anyways as a joke to make her aware tthat she should be careful when she takes pictures. It could have been a different QR code.
There is no way you can order food for delivery from a QR code that is meant only for the table. If they did they would probably come out and ask her. The ones placing the order also were not expecting delivery they were just playing the fool.
Why can't they just print the menu's and have a waiter take the order ? All this is so unnecessary, they can't do away with the waiters, so theres only the extra cost of printing the menu's once. The QR code system needs 1 tech guy to maintain the system !
Exactly. Nobody is pointing this fact out here in the comments.
Otherwise how they will show they are fancy😂. U know how fancy restaurants like to do some unnessery stuffs
I live in Ireland.
No bullshit QR codes in restaurants, thank God
Wish someone scan the QR code handed to me, and go ahead with the process😂
Full story -
The restaurant shifted her to different table and stopped taking orders placed from that QRcode.
Just eat it. This orgasmic urge to post photos on social media is actually BS. Its confirmation bias.
Where is common mans sense 😂
Gravitas...the gravity of mind of your reporters is zero....
That’s stupid because the restaurant wouldn’t even have enough ingredients to make that much food.
Thats stupid. In America you use the qr code to order and PAY before your order arrives.
Can someone please answers my questions
1. The qr code is meant to deliver the food at the table if they charged the food where it got delivered
2. If a single table was ordering that much food how did the hotel management did not noticed it
3.Why chef did not foubd it suspicious that single table is attacting 60k USD order
Bro it Wion news channel talking about China... that's your answer. 😂😂😂 you expect an honest, unbiased, informed news about China from Wion.??? 😂😂😂
Making no sense! How could posting a QR code photo from a restaurant get you in trouble?
Taking and posting the picture of food first and then eating is the worst habit you could ever have!
Is your life so irrelevant that you need to post the picture of your expensive food to be become relevant among your friends and family?
The restaurant should give her a free meal and also pay her for the promotion in getting a 60K worth orders. Associate with her for affiliate marketing...
And BTW... why will the place be at loss only with orders, if you've shipped them, you know who has ordered them... and you'll ll have their address too...
This is wild😂
Why would they charge if they didn’t supply the food for the orders?
And would the restaurant not know when preparing food for the orders on the same QR code.
But where was this food worth $60000 delivered ??
Does it make any sense ? Or you skipped some part of the story ??
Clicking pictures of food before eating is the stupidest thing to come into trend. Won't be surprised to see people taking a dump after having meal and posting it.
I got free food as I got two meals in Italian restaurant in Brisbane, because the first order payment wasnt processed as card declined and I had to order again with new card as the earlier page was gone. But the kitchen got two orders and they made two bowls of risotto. They gave me the first order for free.
Just give us a damn screen with or a damn paper
Moral of this news. Eat , just eat. No need to tell the whole world what youre eating.
In China QR code is used for ordering food and it's place on table, one on every table.
In bharat this case is not possible, so chill❤
You also showed a QR code without blurring it!
Rather than serving, charging $ 60000 thousand is ridiculous when you know everything visible on the table.
This is not news this is nonsense. 60000 $ bill without ordering or delivering 60000 $ worth food? How could they even place an order for 60000 $. You think people are fools to believe what you say! 😮
I would love to show you all my payment QR code. Wanna take?😂
The QR code at the dining table is only to make it easier for customers to order food, and there is no need to ask the owner if there are too many menu options. When it's time to pay, they will use the OTP from your bank account based on the order you made from the first QR.
please have a sense. The burden of addressing these issues does not rest with the users; rather, it is the responsibility of the software engineer. How is it possible not to keep track of such information? Furthermore, how can orders be accepted without prior payment or ensuring payment commitments? These all don't add up.
wow never heard of a scam like this in a restaurant 😮
Digitalisation has become a menace
The restaurant cancelled all the orders. They are the one who produce the meal.
Who would of thought but in essence we are in a society becoming increasingly dependent on technology
How can they charge without delivering ?? That restaurant should have been sued for giving a trauma !!
The restaurant owner knows better than that.
Sooo nobody in the kitchen noticed an avalanche of orders coming in and thought “ hey this is odd “
Brain flew out off the newsroom
This "news item" makes absolutely NO SENSE even to the reporter herself. Complete lack of logic.
I find this story a bit difficult to believe. If anyone understands how QR codes are developed, it's not possible to do this.
One lady took $7 worth sub way in Us and gave her card for the payment and later she noticed that 7k dlr got deducted. When she verified the bill, the tip was written as $7k and no one is able to help up. This new is on YT.
പാവം കഴിച്ച് കഴിഞ്ഞിട്ട് bill കണ്ട് ഞെട്ടിക്കാണും പുള്ളിക്കാരി മലയാളി ആയിരുന്നേൽ : 1 ചായക്കും 2 പരിപ്പുവടക്കും കൂടി 60,000 ഡോളരോ😹
Really. The restaurant did not question number of orders coming from party of 1 on single table. 😂
$60k worth of food before she finished her dinner though???
She has added millions of scammers on her social media account.
I always share my movie tickets with the bar code on my social page
My 20 friends doesn't misuse it😂😂😂
The news is really trying hard to prove that central government is useless but ain't getting somewhere 🤣
The restaurant couldn't track the orders to all those whom they delivered within the tens of minutes that the woman spent at the restaurant? A developer would encode the menu URL in the QR, or a payment option to pay a *customer's* bill. What was in the QR that other people could pick from social media and order without any recipient address, cumulating to 60000$ within minutes??
This is insanely stupid. Did the kitchen even prepare those orders? If yes, who did they serve those orders to?
the QR code is "scan to pay" not to order. But how did they serve those who ordered from a distance without receiving payments? this story makes no sense.
QR code for taking orders in a restaurant without any type of authentication....Probably time for dynamic QR codes that is only used for authentication (confirming the table) and the authorization part is still in control of the restaurant, where they actually say this person (based on a customer ID or OTP) is only able to go ahead and order.
In India , halidrams also has this qr code feature in my area. But we have to make the payment digitally online first and then only our order gets confirmed.
why would the restaurant have QR codes at the table?
Wow makes zero sense to just use QR and place order. I have been to many restaurants that use QR for ordering but they always have a otp without that you cannot order
Another reason I like my food in my stomach not on the social media
I didnt get the story. The food ordered by others must hsve been delivered to them for an appropriate charge right? Moreover the woman increased the restaurant's sale and the management should be thankful to her.
Just eat the meal. No photos, problem solved
Problem is not the QR code but the diseased mentality of people to click picture of food and post online before eating.
Hacking is common and cheating has become modern
Ive never even took a picture of myself since graduation
unless the mobile no of hers is used to login to the app and order food, so most probably the ordering app doesnt authenticate her no with OTP, which is the case for most restaurant apps :)
All they had to do was go to her table and asked if she order all that food before they charged her or made the food.
There is a solution, small digital display with dynamically generated QR code, which changes after every minute
So someone walking past could take a photo of the qr code and use it🤔
But wait if every QR code is designated to its table where a customer places the order and gets served, how come some other person placed the order by her QR code and then got it served on his table or wherever he was planning to enjoy that meal........
Make sure not to be a social media jerk....remember you went there to eat not to post on social media...so eat first, pay... and then post the photos in free time....problem solved
I can't understand why people feel the need to show the whole world what they are eating.
WiOn has just came from stone age 😂😂
It’s such a struggle to watch her say QR code every time.
Ha ha lol true
That's why in most of the indian restaurants, Workers will be there to keep an eye on customers till thry pay😂😂
In India, any QR code on a place like shops and restaurants are only one way that's "Only incoming is available, not outgoing... That QR in the video would probably a Chinese QR code... 😁😁😁
I hate it wen people take pictures of what they eat..
I find this hard to believe. But hey anything is possible. 😂😂
Let me tell you in brief to those who are not able to comprehend this.
1. Qr code was Digital menu. You can order it by scanning it.
2. Every Qr code in that resturant is assigned to the table so whenever someone ordered food via scanning it will be placed on the account of that table.
3. Hell bro its not a freaking payment app.
4. If on the internet people ordered via that qr it will still be assigned to that table.
5. Naah bro its not the payment qr.
6. It happened in China bro 😂.
7. Thw news is true
Oh ok thanks for clarifucation..its a order QR code linked to a table..only ordering can be done...in india it hardly happens.
@@curious1731 its a new trend these days🤣
You can tell us the story by saying " a woman", it doesn't matter whether she's a Chinese or an American or whatever citizen she is.
China shines every where with quality 😂😂😂
Asking for the bill?? i thought it was payment before service with QR Codes...
Haha, Chinese stores becoming headlines in India 😂
