Independent Restaurant Website Menus – Why PDFs?

I'm on a mission to find out why in the Wide, Wide World of Sports are so many independent restaurant websites developed with their menus being PDFs?

• - minimal budget

Which translates into:

• - cheap, non-professional "webmasters"

Obviously, most independent restaurant websites are not taken seriously as a marketing vehicle – an integral, cost–effective part of an overall effective marketing solution.

I'll embellish this entry in the coming days. To include:

• - Why PDFs are such a poor choice
• - Discussion regarding the menus pictured below
• - The correct method of displaying restaurant website menus
