I'm a student from India and over the last month I've been reaching out to restaurants and cafes trying to understand how they operate. Not 5 or 10 businesses. More than 200.

Most conversations went nowhere. Some owners were polite, some weren't interested, and a few probably thought I was wasting their time.

But during all of this, I discovered something interesting.

A lot of restaurants are using QR menu services. One of the products I came across was AirMenu. Some owners are paying for it and seem happy with it.

Now I'm stuck wondering whether I'm seeing an opportunity or just chasing a bad idea.

The idea is simple:

A platform where restaurants can have a QR menu, edit everything themselves through a dashboard, generate QR codes, and optionally have their own website without needing a developer every time they want to change something.

The reason I'm interested in this isn't because I think it's some billion-dollar startup. Honestly, I'm just trying to build something people will actually pay for. I've spent so much time learning to code, but I'm realizing that building software and building a business are completely different things.

What I'm struggling to understand is this:

If you're a restaurant owner, why would you switch from a product you're already using?

If you've worked in SaaS or small business software, what am I missing?

And if you were in my position, after talking to 200+ businesses and finding an existing competitor already in the market, would you continue building or would you move on to a different problem?

I don't need motivation or encouragement.

I need people to tell me what they genuinely think, even if the answer is that this is a terrible idea.

Thanks for reading.

Hi, I’m from India and currently a B.Tech (CSBS) student graduating in April 2027. I’ve read the GKS guidelines but still had a couple of doubts specifically about MBA options.

Is it possible to pursue an MBA in Korea through GKS, or is it mostly limited to MS-type programs? Also, do GKS or universities require prior work experience for MBA admission, or can someone apply directly after graduation?

For context, my CGPA is around 8.5, I’ve done a full-stack internship, worked with a few freelancing clients, and I’m building a small startup while having some leadership experience from a hackathon.
