I found similar vulnerability in Bus State transport facility of government, where you can get list of everyone who did reservation online. You can get their gender, age, name, mobile number. I simply reported it to their website's support email and state cyber cell. This was 7 years ago, that vulnerability still exists.

I’m not sure if this could be considered “peak”. The ratio of waiting staff to customers is an obvious bottleneck. This inefficiency is simply accepted and not even really thought about, it’s just the way things are. But one thing I can say for this tech is it fixed it and the difference is noticeable.
In most restaurants the kitchen remains the bottleneck. Tech has not fixed that.

is it really a vulnerability if the entire thing is open by design?
Who says it was? Why would they willingly give out their customers' and customers' customers data to any anonymous person or a bot? More likely a bad oversight

inefficiency? It's part of the experience. I'm not in a restaurant or café to drink as fast as possible. I'm there to socialize as well. Waiting a bit is not a bottleneck, but a feature. (If I wanted speed, I'd take the drive-through).
> Is this what the peak ordering experience looks like? Call me old-fashioned, but to me the peak experience is a paper menu to choose from, and a waiter that patiently takes the order. Far prefer that to everyone at the table fiddling on their phones in some weird-ass website or even god forbid custom app.
Many people like being able to see what they are ordering. I've seen people order by pointing to pictures on Yelp instead of using the paper menu. Online menus with pictures of every dish are desired by plenty of customers.

The invention of color photography, and large and small format color printing, make it unnecessary for the whole thing to be online. You can have pictures without all the issues of online - like small, low-resolution screens (relative to paper all screens are low-res screens), and being coerced to give away personal data.
Not to be a party pooper, but posting detailed financial analysis of the exact sales data of a multi-million dollar business using numbers obtained through an obviously overlooked backdoor seems like a very bad idea. Haven't people have gone to jail for less? (iirc "but it was an insecure API" has not held up in court in the past) On a more positive note, I've used a QR menu recently and it really is a game changer.…
> Looking forward to seeing it more often Not sure if you're serious after reading the paragraph where he ordered food for another table ;-)

A guy went to prison for doing this with AT&Ts public subscriber data. The media didn't do him a favor by calling it a hack.
