It depends where you eat. Outlets in food Courts in malls (like the Mall of Berlin) accept credit cards and so do some smaller restaurants. Even Germany is not that focused on cash anymore. Contrary, if you visit a food stall on a market or prefer the Döner, Currywurst from the smaller shops, you need cash. It depends, where he will be. If you buy something from the groceries stores e.g. Rewe, Edeka, HIT (like packed sandwiches or beverages) you can pay with card
McDonald's, Burger King, Subways, Starbuclks usually accepts credit card (and apple pay)

At carparks you often can also pay via app or via plate. Beware people max pay upon exit. Great soutce of chaos for Germans.

Berlin is easily navigated with card payments. My sons (we live in Munich) manage nearly exclusively with apple pay linked to their own debit card. The only places they need cash is for the Döner (which costs 6.20€) at a place they love.
Funny anecdote: my colleagues son (16) went to London last year and we organized a debit card for him at the last moment via Revolut so he could pay for food during the school trip as everything in London has become cash free. In the end the class had to eat at McDonalds each and every time because some classmates only had cash with them and McD was one of the few outlets that still accepts cash
