Haven't visited Cheesecake Factory yet, but I can imagine. I don't mind the tablet systems I have encountered, but yeah, paper works as well. Many of the restaurants here (at least the asian ones) usually just cross out the price and scribble in the new price beside (or put stickers on top). I like the tablet system as well as you can (usually) track down how much you have consumed... most of the time I see it, it's usually in a buffet (where they bring it to your table) or AYCE sushi setting and it's handy to see what we've ordered, what we haven't and what we have received. You could track it via paper as well, but that's usually additional paperwork floating around.
