At http://spiga-ristorante.ch/, customers order and pay for their food right at the entrance.

A mobile device that customers get when ordering and paying for the food, lights up when the food is ready. Customers then pick up their food themselves.

After finishing eating, customers bring their plates, cutlery, and glasses near the dishwashing machine. Some results of self service: 1. Prices are lower. 2. Customers get a little exercise.
