That is the true revolution. A kiosk is only good when your phone runs out of charge. The solution of that is having chargers on every table. The best solution is when your don't have to get up from your table to get your food but rather they bring it to your table number. No lines at all except in actually preparing the food.

If your phone is out of charge then you can;t use the kiosk either, because you need the phone to pay.

You still write checks don't you.

It's looks like you're American.
In most of the rest of the world no one uses written checks anymore. They're considered untrustworthy. It's all electronic transactions requiring a password and/or a biometric identification, the transfer of funds, whether by credit card, debit card, savings account, payments account, meal cards, or whatever, instantly confirmed.
The one interesting trait of the American bank system is that it's set in a permanent state of being 20 years behind everyone else technologically. T

The nice thing about paying regularly by check is that people will actually notice that you are dead [cnn.com].
Me, I like the convenience of writing a check and mailing it - particularly for utilities, car payment, insurance, etc. I don't have to wait in line in meatspace to make my payment. And no, I don't want to create yet another online account with username (which someone has already snagged) and password. Where would I keep my password? On my "secure" smartphone? Yeah. I'll pass. Autopay? See my first sentence.
Additionally, this creates entry level jobs. Someone has to process my checks at the company. I have noticed that some places will try to tack on a small fee for accepting my check as payment. I go elsewhere.
