I loathe them perhaps even more than I loathe the order-kiosks that McDonald's has rolled out. My phone is smaller than the folded napkin, I would rather not have to scroll to examine a menu.

Regardless, a restaurant should think twice about outsourcing this kind of thing to a 3rd party that now has all of your (and your competitors) financials. Even if the API is better vetted, why would you trust this faceless, profit-motivated site with your data?

"Convenience" seems to be the way they market "getting rid of employees" these days — from self-service gas, self-checkout lanes, etc.
