Restaurants are figuring out how to do without servers

There is a middle ground.

In Australia, the standard for a nice restaurant is that you get full table service, and when you're finished, you just walk up to the front counter to pay.

That way you get the best of both worlds.

Can't you just always do that anyway? Especially if you invite lots of people and don't want to handle lots of money infront of your guests... (and you don't use cards)

In many sit-down restaurants, the main counter is just for the host to seat customers and you have to pay your server directly.

For some reason that's a thing in America but mostly for breakfast places (Original Pancake House, for example).
