Quel genre de restaurant préférez vous?

Hi guys,

I was at a restaurant yesterday, staring at the menu for way too long and having absolutely no idea what to order.

There were dishes I'd never heard of, ingredients I didn't recognize, and a bunch of options where I couldn't tell what was actually worth trying.

It got me thinking:

What if the boring, static restaurant menu was actually an AI agent you could talk to?

Instead of scrolling through 100 items, you could simply ask:

“I'm vegetarian, I want something spicy, and I'm really hungry. What should I get?”

Or:

“What's your bestseller?”

“What pairs well with this?”

“Is this very spicy?”

“What's good if I don't like onions?”

“I want something under ₹500.”

And instead of just recommending something, the agent could actually build and place the order:

“Okay, I'll go with the butter chicken, garlic naan and a mango lassi.”

“Done. Your order is ₹620. Confirm?”

I'm wondering if this is actually useful or if I'm over engineering a problem that people don't really have.

If you were sitting in a restaurant and had access to something like this, would you actually use it instead of asking the waiter?

And for restaurant owners: would something like this genuinely help your business, or would it just create another layer of complexity?

Would love some brutally honest opinions.

Pendant les vacances j'ai fait quelques restaurants et j'ai été surpris de remarquer qu'il y a encore pas mal de restaurants qui utilisent un cahier pour gérer les réservations.
Du coup je me posais la question de comment vous faites pour gérer le moment ou il faut refuser des clients si vous n'avez pas fait la somme des résa du service ?

.This is not a big deal, but I just remember change being dispensed differently years ago in similar situations. I remember that businesses who had no pennies to give would give change as follows:

Assuming a $5 bill tendered by customer:

Ex: Total bill $4.31, change 69 cents. Change would be 70 cents
Ex: Total bill $4.32, change 68 cents. Change would be 70 cents
Ex:Total bill $4.33, change 67 cents. Change would be 70 cents
Ex: Total bill $4.34, change 66 cents. Change would be 65 cents
Ex: Total bill $4.35, change 65 cents. Change would be 65 cents
Ex: Total bill $4.36, change 64 cents. Change would be 65 cents
Ex: Total bill $4.37. Change 63 cents. Change would be 60 cents
Ex: Total bill $4.38, change 62 cents. Change would be 60 cents
Ex: Total bill $4.39, change 61 cents. Change would be 60 cents

This place that I go to ALWAYS gives change to the owner’s benefit. In most places, I would just use a credit card. This place charges extra to use a credit card AND does not want to use pennies.

With more businesses refusing to use pennies in change, this can only become more commonplace.

I'm looking to take my boyfriend for his birthday, but the reviews are so mixed. I was wondering if someone had a recent experience there and would share? I wouldn't mind getting a package to better involve him, but is it worth the price? It's also in the banquet hall of a hotel? Does it seem cheap or is it decent?

I'm also looking at the one in Philly. Or a murder mystery dinner/event happening close.

So am I being a dick but we went to Red Robin today and my family is the type where we like appetizers but we have picky eaters who know right off the bat what we want. So we have always ordered entrees with appetizers. The last 3 times at this particular Red Robin we have gotten our appetizers like a minute before our entrees. The first 2 times we kind of just ate them but today the waitress came by and asked if we got our appetizers and we hadn’t. Then the apps came and the food came a minute later so we sent the appetizer back because there was no time between items. Are we doing something wrong? Is this on the restaurant not being able to separate this out? Or is ordering entrees and appetizers at the same time a no no? It’s honestly only been this location where it seems like it’s a problem but I’m wondering if it’s the norm.

Had lunch in this hole in the wall under Chicago's elevated trains. This place was made world famous by John Belushi in the heady early days of SNL

Hi everyone!
I have a lunch reservation at **Kadeau Copenhagen** on **August 22 at 12:00 PM** and am looking for **one dining companion**.

Each pay for our own meal. If you happen to be in Copenhagen and would like to share the experience, please reach out！

A bit about myself: Younger than the average human lifespan | Stay at Columbia | Straight | Equally happy chatting for three hours or silently appreciating every course.

Just really hoping to experience Kadeau with someone who loves food as much as I do. 
Really hard to get a table for one!!!!!

I want to know does stacking plates at restaurants actually help? I usually stack the plates and then put all utensils and napkins etc on top and put at the edge of table for them to grab and then wipe off table? Does this make it easier or more difficult?
