We've had this in America for over a decade at big chain suburban restaurants like Ruby Tuesday's and Applebees.

- motoxpro 4y agoHe means most countries that are not the USA. Haven't been to Applebees in ~5 years or so but they didn't do it then either. USA doesn't bring you a terminal on average. I travel around the world for work and my experience is that most countries outside the USA do. Ah, you edited your response. Mine still is valid I guess.

- jakear 4y agoBeat middle class restaurants tend to use tableside POS systems. Applebees, Chili’s, Rock Lobster, Outback, etc etc. I understand them and love them for what they are, but it always feels jank to have to deal with a computer when I’m out for dinner. I’d pay more to not have to do that, which is the experience higher end restaurants provide. I don’t have a computer screen in my car for the same reason. Software engineers tend to produce shit tier user experiences. (Speaking as one)
