14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung has found a pretty odd way to convince customers worldwide to purchase its devices: provide them with special dishes at select restaurants.
The most recent campaign started by the South Korean company invites Samsung phone owners in the United Kingdom to pay a visit to restaurants in the country and scan table-top codes with their mobile devices.
If they do this, they get access to secret menus which aren’t available to anyone else in the restaurant.
Bill’s, The Breakfast Club, Patty & Bun, and Pizza Pilgrims are four of the restaurants participating in the campaign, and Samsung says you can go to one or all because it’s all up to you. There’s no limitation as to how many times you can use the Samsung phone to get the special dishes.
Any “Galaxy device” supported
“You’re probably here because we’ve got your taste buds tingling for something special. Bill’s, The Breakfast Club, Patty & Bun, and Pizza Pilgrims have been secretly creating some exciting dishes that only Samsung owners can get their teeth into,” the company says on the official site of the campaign.
“All you need to do is pop in to your favourite restaurant (or all of them if you prefer), find a Secret Menu, and look for an AR code. Then it’s just a case of unlocking the exclusive dishes using a Samsung phone.”
No other details have been provided on these secret menus, so you’ll have to go to the aforementioned restaurants yourselves to find out what this is all about.
Also, Samsung hasn’t shared any info on the devices that you can use for scanning the table-top codes, but the company claims any “Galaxy device” is supported, so I’m guessing you don’t have to purchase a Galaxy S10 to receive these special dishes.
