Enter all the items your party wants in a spreadsheet on your iPhone one by one. This way nobody has to keep everything in their head and waste time trying to remember what that one last item was. Plus, you don’t run such a risk of ordering too little or too much since you can all double check and mull your order over thoughtfully before actually placing it.
Makes the waitstaff’s job easier too:
pen and paper could work too…or perhaps not being a douche sushi order-er.
Or she could have used that iPhone on the table.
whew, I hate interacting with the help.
