Considering the situation in Hawaii, these may never make it here. But there is one thing happening, either ordering by an app or a table touchscreen. It wouldn't take much to implement this in a small restaurant, just a wifi network, menu tablet at the table, monitor for cook in the kitchen. Paper menus cost a lot, plus it's hard to change the menu. There can be a bus boy button for extra water, bus boy brings out the meal.
"Aloha also means goodbye. Aloha!"
