So even if there's a lot of value in having your order taken, food brought to you, water refilled... let's think like entrepreneurs - can this service be provided for less money? If so, then you can charge customers less, giving you an advantage.
Ordering - there could just be a tablet with an app that lets you see the menu, answers all your questions, shows you pictures of the food and nutritional info and stuff, and lets you order when you're ready.
Water refills - just provide each table with a pitcher.
Bringing food to you (and other things like condiments) - One option is to still have servers bring it to you. But it would cost much less because the ordering app lets them be more efficient with their time. Another option is to have the tablet alert you when your food is ready, and you can go get it.
