“I work in a fine dining restaurant-not affected yet. The rumors are that we are about to be replaced with iPads at every table. They will keep the young and cute servers (who usually get lower tips than the experienced servers) to run food and let the rest of us go. When a long time server said something about it affecting tips, the manager stated, “You’re not a doctor, you don’t need to be making $30 an hour.”
I live in Sarasota, FL. There is a restaurant near where I live (Carmel) which gives customers an I pad to order from - it’s quick, easy and your order is never confused although you might be yourself. It works quite well.
Sarasota used to be place where you drove over the sunshine bridge too not get screwed.

Like I said before, this is different-a higher end restaurant (for our neck of the woods) and people expect service.
Time will tell. I’ve worked there a very short time and it’s been fun. The tips are great. I guess I will just enjoy it while I can.
