There will be people to deliver the food...in some restaurants this is already the case that the waiter who takes the order is not the same one who delivers the food. Most of your other objections are host/hostess responsibilities, not waiter/waitress. The only one that a waiter would handle is the food mixup and you would just flag someone down

My point still stands:
Transmission of predetermined information is a fully understood problem, and easy to automate.
Physical interaction with unexpected variables in changing environments, is not.
How does the QR code handle a request like "do you have a baby-seat for our 2 year old?", and subsequently point me towards where said baby seat can be found and offer a solution how it gets to my table?
How does the QR code resolve the situation that another set of customers already uses said baby seat?
How does the QR code resolve the situation that we are 12 people, we all want to sit next to each other in the non-smoking area, but there are only 2 tables there each sitting 5 people?
How do I explain to the QR code that there must have been a mixup in the kitchen and what was delivered to me was not what I ordered?
How does the QR code deal with unruly customers who harass other guests?
How does the QR code deal with a requirement like checking vaccination certificates, which was implemented by law on short notice and not part of the systems original spec?
