> (1) There are some limited exceptions for places which make a quirky tech vibe part of the experience, which mostly comes up in certain types of sushi bars. Chinese hotpot, Korean BBQ, Japanese dining that isn't just sushi bars, Thai and Vietnamese places (among many others) quite often use digital menus as well as digital ordering. None of these exhibit a "quirky tech vibe", aside from some places which use robots to deliver small side dishes, or beverages. Many of these would also not be considered "quick and efficient", at least how you describe them. It would be good to consider venturing outside your regular dining locales to see what the rest of the world is doing in terms of restaurant experience, and whether the American way is still even relevant.
