Mobile technology is changing the way we interact with restaurants before we go to them. It could be said that this is ruining the eating out experience but it allows people to avoid eating somewhere they might not actually want to. Our phones can be used to explore review sites like Yelp, Zagat, and Urbanspoon which have all gone mobile. Some restaurants are now starting to take mobile reservation and allow you to pay your bill via your smartphone.
