this is more for casual meals with table service. I want more service for more expensive places. Something like Chinese or pizza or burgers or Mexican or Indian all costs less. In general and I’m happy to just order by phone. I loved our Sherman’s deli meal and phone order at table would have been much faster compared to the busy server experience where she had to also take table orders.
