You scan the QR code on your table (which also tells them where to deliver the food), and it pops up on your phone. Just like online shopping, you add the items you want to your cart and hit checkout, paying like you normally would. Nobody takes your order anymore, and of course tables are spaced six feet apart. I had no idea this was a thing.

masticatingman 06/13/21 11:58:40 PM #12:	It's really idiotic as a trend imo. I get catering to smartphone users but the fact that somebody is taking the time to go in-person to a dine out experience already means they're wanting a different experience than logging online and placing an order for carryout/delivery. --- To/fro from-towards <cite>masticatingman posted [p:954979319] in I was at a...
