Although in the end the waiter might be necessary from a customer support and questions perspective tbh. I did an ordering app thing in a restaurant and we still talked to the 'bus boy' to ask questions in the end.

Then you can show up at the estimated time, sit down, and immediately start enjoying your meal! No more waiting for the host to seat you, then waiting for the waiter to bring you water, then waiting for the waiter to take your drink order, then waiting for the waiter to take your food order, then waiting for all the food, then finally waiting to get the bill, waiting for the waiter to pick up your credit card, and waiting for the waiter to come back with your card. There is so much inefficiency about your typical restaurant visit just begging to be optimized out. Restaurants win, too, because they can accommodate more customers per hour. I tend to just not go to sit-down restaurants because they always manage to turn a 30 minute eating session into a 90 minute wait-fest.
