A Chick-fil-a near me recently remodeled and moved to a dine-in model where you don’t order at a counter- you sit down and someone comes to take your order on a tablet. I suspect we’re 5-10 years out from McD and others trying to incentivize tipping for order takers, and eliminating dine-in from some locations entirely. McD fries just aren’t the same when delivered!

Those tablets also help speed up the drive-thru line (and huge lines in malls) by taking orders and payment from anywhere in the line.

They run (or did, last I heard at least) kubenetes at the edge from an article I saw years ago.

Pro tip: reheat them in an air fryer.
