This is why I tend to just use the mobile apps for places to order. Not laggy and gives the benefits you mentioned of using a touch screen kiosk. A lot of them you don't even need an account to use the app which is nice if that's something that bothers you.
Yeah, I like this style but don't want their apps installed on my phone. A few places have mobile sites which is excellent, I know what access it has and it is shut down completely when I close the tab.
But what if they want to notify you about great deals and coupons? DON'T YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT GREAT DEALS AND COUPONS?!?
I just don't give notification permissions to most apps unless I actually care about notifications from it.
Basically yes. But also they can do that via email or web push notifications. Not that I would allow either.
The apps are super slow though. Like I don't need a 5 second animation of bouncing fries every time I do anything. Dunkin is another offender.
There's a reason everyone and their brother want you to install an app these days.
