While discrete hand signals may not mean much to a middle of the road dining establishment you can bet that the people who implement these protocols do so because they are effective.
They essentially communicate a level of professional behavior when working around their patrons. Small things like this are what distinguishes an apprentice from an artisan.

In certain cases it takes more time and effort to communicate information or instructions verbally, and it's more noticeable.
