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.

Panera has qr codes and there are no runners at least at the one near me. They have a buzzer and you do the running and bussing yourself. It is basically devolved into sandwich McDonalds
