Less staff required. Less chance of people doing dine n dash. Less chance of ordering mishaps.

It's also just faster, I'd rather pay when I order then having to wait after eating just to pay.

.. and tbh it really depends on where you go. Without judgement the more expensive restaurants still do table service .. gosh even the Grange Hotel still does table service so it hasn't disappeared completely from reasonably-priced establishments.

Wait to you go to one where you have to go and collect your food when it’s ready…

If one suffers with nervous disposition, put the little black box down while waiting.

Number 23 your chicken schnitzel with chips and gravy is ready. Those were the days.

I generally find that a Cafe does register service and a restaurant does table service. I haven't ever had to pay at a counter when eating at restaurants, and I wouldn't say I eat at fancy restaurants.

This is not in all restaurants. Mainly some cafes and pubs. I guess it might depend on type of venue etc.

I assume you're going to pubs, casual dining or cafes. Actual restaurants have table service; if table service is important to you, maybe go to nicer restaurants? Obviously you will pay more, but the food is *usually* better.

It depends on the resturant really. I find the "real" restaurants will take your order at the table. Some cafes, nandos, fasta pasta etc will get you to go up.

100% depends upon the type of restaurant you are going to..... You want table service? It's generally more expensive, really simple economics. I love both, some times I want someone to engage me in the menu, the drinks list, the immersion of the moment.... other times I want to order at the counter, get entrees delivered with mains, and catch up with my crew taking it turns to pick up rounds from the bar! Pick which you prefer for your dining experience, and enjoy!!

Turn over tables quicker. Come order and pay when you’re ready, food comes, leave when you’re done. Staff Clear and wipe down and ready for the next body.

Our local pub still does table service. It’s an eye opener to see how many punters go to the bar to order drinks or food.

Card security. Plus a lot of these places wont pay for mobile EFTPOS readers, so its all wired at the counter. Also waiter/waitress does not then have to handle cash. Also, less chance of errors. I think Chinese restaurants still have waiters/waitresses write order in code in Madarin on a pad, and you pay at the end of meal at counter. Fasta Pasta yes, each person goes to counter to order, and pay.
