I worked at restaurants with id based POS systems (pre touch screen, you just typed in numbers for every item).

Then the touch screens came out, so slow in comparison. The learning curve was faster but the operations were terrible in comparison.

I still remember Red Lobster POS codes from the 1990s. 2411, 2443, 901, ... Good times :-)
