WITH THE PRICES!!

356

u/Wuz314159 Sep 12 '26 • Heartwarming

and the date of those prices.

u/SB_90s Sep 12 '26

Always a depressing sight to see the change in menu prices over the last 5 years on Google this way. Really insane to see for some places.

5

u/FrostyD7 Sep 12 '26

In my experience lately, if the menu image is over 6 months old, most likely everything is more expensive. 5 years old is potentially whole different menu lmao

4

u/BizmBazm Sep 12 '26

So true 😭😭😭 In the past it was safe to assume the prices were probably pretty close if not identical if the image was up to a year old, but lately everything has been skyrocketing so much that I’ve seen 2-month-old menus have like, 20% lower prices.

5

u/MiniMaelk04 Sep 12 '26

I went to a nice little restaurant and waffle place in Tokyo one time. The prices were more than twice as high as uploads of the menu suggested, only a couple years old as well. Still cheap since it's Japan, but compared to other places, it certainly seemed they had jacked up the prices way beyond what a Japanese person would expect.

u/No_Internal9345 Sep 12 '26

Why does google not use its "AI" to sort these by newest menu first?

1

u/FermentedForeskins Sep 12 '26

the server is gonna explode if it needs to sort everything on google map, seeing how much data it has accumulated over the years

u/EnvironmentalAngle Sep 12 '26

You just look at the date it was submitted. What software doesn't do that?

... that's what he was referring to

u/Low_discrepancy Sep 12 '26

Well it's google proving you the info of when the photo was uploaded and it provides it for all photos.

You're reading too literally. Steelmanning / principle of charity that's what they meant.

u/theme69 Sep 12 '26

It’s insane to me that in 2026 so many restaurants don’t have functional websites. I just want to see your hours, address and menu.

u/deaglebingo Sep 12 '26

yeah but who can afford to eat out anymore!?? amiright? comment history is the best way to see this is a punch line but i've made it mildly difficult.

AGAIN WITH THE PRICES?!

u/deaglebingo Sep 12 '26

my gooood. exorbitant.

u/misanthr0p1c Sep 12 '26

I had ordered some food for pickup and when I got there I had to wait for some guy who was arguing the prices didn't match the menu pictures on Google to get a refund. This place only takes phone orders and has updated their prices like 10 times in the last few years.

1

u/Fat_Sow Sep 12 '26

Market prices! What market are you shopping at?

1

u/Allegorist Sep 12 '26

I have found more often than not nowadays the listed prices on menu images are out of date. Prices got jacked up continuously for several years, unless they are brand new images chances are your meal will cost significantly more than shown.

u/polkacat12321 Sep 12 '26

it's the owners usually though? or is that something they don't do outside poland?

u/Archer007 Sep 12 '26

Incredibly, in the US there are small businesses that don't keep their websites up to date or simply have no web presence at all

6

u/macaronysalad Sep 12 '26

Or post all their details on facebook so the only people who can see it are people with a facebook account. Too many dummies run businesses thinking everyone uses facebook or have no idea how the internet works.

1

u/ThisIsMyCouchAccount Sep 12 '26

Groups too.

So many groups are run entirely out of Fb or IG.

I wanted to hit some Cars & Coffee in my city. Never heard of any. Turns out there are several but they are all on Fb or IG.

And it's not like I'm above it or something. I still have my accounts. But discoverability is terrible. I would have never found those groups if not for seeing the referenced in Reddit comments.

u/bobafeeet Sep 12 '26

I do love when google auto sorts the menu pictures wrong. "Oh the picture from yesterday? No let me show you the menu from ten years ago."

u/CaspianRoach Sep 12 '26

not me reading this thinking it refers to some pharaoh named Menu because of the capitalization

u/Jessens98 Sep 12 '26

Especially now when more and more are using AI pictures in their restaurant / on their food truck

when they post the of the food + THE NAME

2

u/thrower99walker Sep 12 '26

Many of them are more than a year old and you can see how much they've increased their prices. It's "interesting" seeing a burrito for 9.99 from Google's menu images and then the current is 14.99+ for a regular. Some places more than 2x their pricing from the last 5 years since the shutdown, and many of them either shrink their portion size or quality has went to the toilet.

2

u/Practical_Dot_3574 Sep 12 '26

I did this recently with a Chinese buffet. There was a few of the buffet from a far. None of the pricing. So I went through and added a picture of each island and one of the pricing paper posted on the wall.

2

u/pandas_rampage93 Sep 12 '26

*current menu with the prices

u/razzyboss1 Sep 12 '26

I HATE it when restaurants don't have pictures/scans of their menu! So i made it my personal mission to upload pictures of the menu on google maps with every chance I get!

u/littlelordgenius Sep 12 '26

Most restaurants will direct you to their online menu, which may or may not be accurate and often involves downloading a delivery app, or may be several pages long. Someone posting a photo of the physical menu can save you time, depending on what you’re looking for.

1

u/Expensive-Metal-6618 Sep 12 '26

People who post photos in google Earth (another unknown island in Pacific ocean)

Way better than the restaurant's official website making you download an outdated PDF.

u/contrapunctus0 Sep 12 '26

Instead of doing free labor to help the largest company on the planet strengthen its monopoly, y'all should improve OpenStreetMap instead 😅

Use MapComplete.org to add menu photos, ratings, reviews, and food photos to OSM.

u/xen32 Sep 12 '26

Earlier this year on google maps I saw picture of menu in Italian pizzeria, in Rive del Garda IIRC, that had various pizzas listed for around 10 Eur each, and then there was Hawaiian pizza with 100 Eur price and a note: say no to pineapple on pizza!

1

u/meem_khe Sep 12 '26

Only useful in countries with low inflation. We used to do that here before as well, but now every 3 to 6 months every restaurant and cafe have increased their prices by 10 to 20 percent. It's so bad that most cafes here just abandoned physical menus, they just give you a digital QR code to see the prices online. Yeah that's how 25% monthly inflation looks like.

u/Mytre- Sep 12 '26

Now we need to google to SORT THIS PHOTOS BY MOST RECENT. a menu from 8 years ago showing first and having to go through EACH image to find the most recent menu is just stupid

1

u/Dry_Quiet_3541 Sep 12 '26

Google has gamified contributing to maps. So it’s fun, you edit things if they aren’t correct, add things that aren’t present. Anyone can do it and you get to brag about your contribution.

u/caguru Sep 12 '26

This is the most backwards meme I have ever seen. Those menu pics suck major donkey balls. I always end up having to go to the restaurant website becuse the pics are illegible.

u/Accomplished_Art_431 Sep 12 '26

I try and do this when I don't see a good pic of prices on places I'm reviewing

u/Yaarmehearty Sep 12 '26

Do they not usually have the menu on the wall next to the entrance of the restaurant? Lots of places around me do that.

u/Unbanable4221 Sep 15 '26

I've worked in a restaurant for 2 years and I still have yet to see our menu. Maybe because I never eat there except leftovers from the customers.

1

u/SadDecision6504 Sep 16 '26

I guess I should start doing it too~

1

u/Rabid_Dingo Sep 16 '26

Except that Google throws some overlays with credit to the photographer that hide a good 15% of the image without the ability look at the pic in its entirety.

But yes, those menu pic folks are the real heros.

And if American a tip exemption, honestly everyone should be tip exempt and employees demand better pay because the promise of a tip is an excuse managers use to not pay liveable wages.

4

u/TheKingsdread Sep 12 '26

By making employees rely on tips, restaurants in the US have successfully gotten their customers to pay their staff instead of them, allowing them to keep a larger share of their profits that would normally be used on wages. In any other industry there would be a collective uproar. Imagine if Walmart or Best Buy underpaid their employees and had the customers pay them "tips" instead of a real wage.

2

u/a_d_d_e_r Sep 12 '26

The money for salaries comes from the customer either way. Where else would it come from?

1

u/BurningBorderGarden Sep 12 '26

Sometimes these are the same people who give one star to a place because of random thing, like there was no free space to leave a car at the moment or opening hours added by someone else turned out to be different. Not everyone who leaves a picture is emotionally mature.
