New Greek place opened up locally and the wife talked me into trying it. I rolled my eyes as I was already expecting it to taste like every other generic Greek place, no matter where you go, as they all use the same Sysco garbage.
Normally I have low expectations for food locally anyways as St George must have some sort of law where you can either be a chain or your food has to be the most uninspired overpriced bullshit in order to get a license here. Good food? Oh no, we can't be having that!
Anyways, in we go. My level of interest coming through the door is somewhere around wanting to make a dentist appointment, helping homeless ukrainian children or doing fucking taxes. I'm confused when I walk in as the place is almost full, yet I see absolutely zero staff except 1 or 2 behind the counter in the kitchen area. Upon further review, there really wasn't even a counter area nor was there some sort of hostess or anything. You just kind of walked in and....theres a wall of large iPads.
You order 100% of everything via the very well thought out iPad format. When it comes time to pay via the iPad, it doesn't even try and guilt you into leaving a 20-75% tip. Fuck, there's not even a spot for a tip at all if you even wanted to. This is fantastic!
No counter. Just a large seating area with tables. I sit down and wait but am confused as to how the food comes out as they have literally zero information about me. Some time passes and 1 of the 3 total employees comes out from the back, walks right up to the table and asks who had X and who had Y. I'm guessing they take a photo of you or something.
That was the first, and last human interaction I had there. And it was perfect. The place had 30 tables and 3 total employees. 2 of the 3 were making food. The 1 was helping and running orders. That's it. No bullshit. No wanting a tip from you for walking 13 feet. No nothing.
It was flawless. And the food was actually really good.
If more restaurants can figure out how to do this as opposed to what its turned into over the last 5 years, anyone that doesn't adapt better have the world's greatest whatever, because otherwise, no one wants to deal with your shit.
The other benefit here is that it literally runs on 3 people. I've seen more useless faggots hanging around at the hostess station at restaurants. The system they use kills at a minimum 4 jobs, maybe up to 6. This motivates the 3 humans that actually do work there to do a good fucking job because, well, there's only 3 jobs there and you are replaceable. Fuck off with you whining about how you deserve a 40% tip and get to fucking work you fucking poors.
I love it. Fuck, they don't even have an option for a tip LOLOLOLOLOL
