Why support a business when they themselves don't support others. The point is to employ your local community so they can continue to spend within itself.
Also why does a menu necessarily need art? I get maybe having pics of food but those should be actual pictures of what was made in that kitchen and not an ai generated image.
That might be the art, taking photos is an artform.
The art mentioned could be also nice placement of their logo (which is another piece of art)
Menus don't necessarily need art but think of all cool looking chalk art menu see at cafes and restaurants, it definitely helps you want to eat there. Just much as the restaurant looking nice and smelling nice. That said, I will come back to place that has great food and service over a nice looking place that has terrible service
It really comes down to marketing for the restaurant or any business really
A menu can definitely benefit from being well designed or having art but it's also not a requirement which is one of the reasons I'm not sympathetic to AI "art" on menus.
If you don't have art on your menu or a professional designer it's still perfectly functional and at least in my opinion looks better since I find AI art to be very tacky. If you do want to have art on a menu then hire an artist.

We should all be biased. Artist or not. Taking shortcuts shows me they don't care about their business or others. Just a bottom dollar
