This is cool. I’ll get more excited when it’s available for iPhone in my Australia.

Good stuff! I'm keen to know if/how the AI would deal with some questions during reservation - e.g. '...is the spelling correct?', '...do you have any seating area preferences?', '...you might have to wait up to 5 minutes before you're seated, is that okay with you?', etc.

We will be cooking the food soon as well !
