Walk into a busy pizzeria on a Friday night and you’ll spot the same scene playing out at half the tables: someone holding a phone flat against a table tent, waiting for the little haptic buzz that means their menu has loaded. No flagging down servers. No dog-eared laminated menus. No “sorry, we’re out of […]
