I really dig not having to flag down servers, to order, add to order, or pay. Being able to transact whenever you want is great. Food just shows up. When at a busy bar it's even better, no waiting in huge lines.
Ideally the menu also has photos on it. Many don't take the time or maybe Toast (which seems to be by far the main player) charges too much for the feature (but I suspect it's more about laziness). This makes them a big upgrade over paper menus, which can only fit so much.
Typical HN cynicism in the comments. No signs of being able to appreciate the nicer bits. It's not perfect, but it seems fine. I do want paper menus to be available, want other affordances around, and it has a nice qualia to it, but the practicality of the digitized experience is wonderful. And we should be tuning & enhancing it, rather than turning back.
