Ooh,ooh, I know!

We can create an app that needs location data and microphone access so that it can automatically sit there and wait for us to say “check please” and it can turn on a BLE beacon that talks to the servers phone, which, running the app, has already linked to the tables phones and recorded the guests orders for the server.

The server can access the users tipping history, sort of a restaurant social credit score, and the users get to have their data harvested 24/7 to support the app’s seamless automatic functionality! It’s going to be great!

Not enough AI buzzwords in pitch. I’ll pass!
Fine. We will collect all the customer - server interaction to build training data for vision language action models, so we can replace waitstaff with robots, disrupting the lower middle class and college students!
We won't stop there - we will rehire all those disrupted workers but only on a gig basis! Now you can work when you want, with as little health insurance as you can afford!
The apps will of course show ads to the customer while they are waiting for the bill. The app may delay sending the signal sometimes to ensure full ad time.
Unless you pay for premium!
If your lonely , with pods in ear ai will turn you into a server and get you the social interaction of " just the tip"
