I have a couple restaurant apps on my phone. These are for takeout or delivery type places like Domino's Pizza or Sheetz. In that context, it's a genuine upgrade. Like, i can either drive to Sheetz, type my order into the kiosk there, and wait the whole time they're preparing it, OR I can place the order from home on my phone, and they'll prepare it as I'm driving there.

At a sit-down restuarant, what are you trying to do? Trying to use that instead of the waitstaff for ordering or paying...some customers are going to and some aren't. There's a procedure people understand about eating at a restaurant, and now you're throwing a wrench in it for...what? The ability to update the menu without printing a whole bunch of them, somewhere to write down the specials so the waitstaff doesn't have to remember them, or "because technology?"

And at something with counter service like a deli? Fuck off.

I've only been to one restaurant that had that and I was able to order online. It was a good experience for me.

I took my elderly aunt to eat and she couldn't navigate the menu at all on a phone screen. I don't like it either.

I can't even read my phone without reading glasses and when I'm off of work I often purposely don't bring them with me. I'd be asking about their accessibility accommodations.

Lol you people are so edgy, don't worry you're very cool with your stories of rejecting menus and being a dick to waiters who have no say in the matter.

No wonder COVID had no trouble spreading if everyone is so insistent on holding soggy stained menus in their hands. I love digital menus, don't need to touch anything, there's enough for everyone, why the need to always be a contrarian?

Now go ahead and downvote me, my ~~body~~ account is ready

Maybe I’m in the minority but I will often choose a restaurant that lets me order from the table over one which requires talking to a human…
