I had the same thought although there are some differences in the lounge context:
  1. There is no incentive to wait for your order as you have not paid for anything, which could lead to food being prepared but no one to deliver it to.
  2. Similarly if the service or technology is inefficient people may just exit the lounge before their food is delivered.
  3. No table numbers in the lounges, although this could be rectified with stickers or similar.
Generally knocking together an app for this purpose at short notice could be problematic and I'm sure that the hospitality industry as a whole (excluding Wetherspoons and a few others) are wrestling with these ideas at the moment.
