To be honest tapping my order on my phone seems much better than through a waiter or even something like a per table Alexa.

I really dislike how often communication gets cut off because multiple participants are trying to get the attention of a waiter or the topic is uncomfortable to talk about with an unknown person over your shoulder.

You know people at nearby tables can hear you talking at a restaurant, right?

Yeah, but it's not like they are actively interacting with me or a friend. I assume everyone more or less automatically ignores the background noise of other tables.
