Busy diners can now order their meal before they even arrive

There was once a time when going to a restaurant meant breaking bread with a leisurely meal. But that was before our over-busy lifestyles got in the way. Now Uber Eats is inviting diners in some cities to order food ahead of time, go to the restaurant, then sit down inside to eat, thereby saving precious minutes of waiting time. Is this helpful or a trend too far?
