All of that takes 10% of the time it takes for a waiter to arrive at your table and take an order.

It’s also way faster for on iPhones which most restaurant customers have. You just lift your phone, tap the camera icon on the Lock Screen and it scans the code right away.

Then you just double tap the power button and it’s paid and ordered.

That's a very US centric view of the world.

I’m Australian. iPhones are pretty much universal in developed countries outside of Asia.

I'm European. iPhones are definitely not universal here. I'm not even sure they have >40% market share in the EU.

As an android user that hates Apple I thought this was funny.

65% of the market in the US, you know basically everyone! All the plebs with androids just sit home eating our turnips and porridge dreaming that one day our children will be able to afford to check their iphones at T.G.I. McFunsters.
