My favorite hang, Pete's Brass Rail and Carwash, has a cool system. The waitstaff carry little palm pilot-like wireless units. When they take your drink order, for example, it is sent to the bar and a runner from the bar will have your drinks to the table sometimes before the waiter even left!
Your food order is similarly sent wirelessly to the kitchen and a runner (not your waiter) will bring your food to your table the instant it is ready. What does the waitstaff do? cruise the tables making sure you are happy.
The place is amazingly efficient. Who am I tipping at Pete's? I dunno. I guess I'm tipping the whole team.
