Furthermore, fine dining concepts that traditionally featured elaborate tablescapes have adapted, introducing covered plates, digital menus, and minimal contact service flows. Moreover, venues like Oro Bistro in Rome pioneered contactless dining. QR codes embedded in tables let guests order directly from their phones. In addition, touchless ordering systems now appear across markets. Industry analysts expect this pattern to remain a standard hospitality feature.
