I thought it was genius.
It makes it easy for "old people with money" (baby boomers) to figure out their bill is, and what tip to pay the server.

(i.e a positive dining experience....to return...again and again...for a decade...with consistent returns)


Sometimes I think this billing should be an automatic function, but that is rife for abuse.
Some "apps" only "allow" a certain automatic point of sale. Their reaction is to never return.
But the state department is woefully absent.

Most restaurants fail within 5 years.
2/3rds I think was the number before.
Probably more today.

Huge overhead and personal time spent into buying the RE itself, re-vamping the entire place, waiting for permits, city taxes, one inspection could shut the whole thing down, employee hiring, dealing with food vendors, day-to-day maintenance 24/7, and making sure each and every penny and every plate is correct.
