I hate this.

Loads of places just have very poor implementation.

A few weeks ago I was waiting at a counter to order like an idiot for 15 minutes while everyone ignored me until I realised other customers were just ordering with their phones. Just a simple sign saying "please order with your phone" would have done the trick.

Another place I couldn't figure out what time the kitchen actually opened. Like you could order but the kitchen wasn't open yet. They just assume you would know something so obvious but it's not obvious if you don't know.
