I would think so to, but there has to be a good way around this. My guess is that you bring the device out to place the order, so it never leaves your sight.

> so it never leaves your sight. Let me guess, you've never waited tables :) ? Keeping an eye on a $500 gizmo that's laying around untethered and that just wants to run out that door is a lot harder than you think. Just take a look at trade shows where there is on-site security and all kinds of paranoia and still the weirdest stuff gets stolen. The only relatively safe place in a restaurant is behind the bar, anything that gets carried in to the store is at risk. And you can't exactly do a pat-down of your clientèle even if something is missing, a good number of them is not going to come back after being insulted like that. Lose-lose. Just having those things on the premises is going to attract people that will try to lift one. And if you 'nail them down' you can expect them to break because people will try to pry them loose. Restaurants lose all kinds of cheap stuff, plates, cutlery, even the flower pots and the props occasionally disappear. And then there is this problem: http://www.mercsystems.com/article_employee-theft-restaurants.php http://www.mercsystems.com/article_employee-theft-restaurant... $500 items attract a crowd of people that will want to take them home.
