Exactly this. I know people don't like to use this term (because it comes from traditional IT), but this is effectively known as TCO (total cost of ownership). The whole "bare metal" versus the well known hyperscalers debate

It also implies that the restaurant has to walk out to the car and place it in the car too. They aint gonna like that. Although to be fair most restaurants already hate the drivers that physically come into their restaurants and don't
