In the US we have a wide variety of ways to pay. Some have the waiter process it, which can be slow as dirt. Some have a little electronic thing at the table you can pay and go, like Red Robin. Some you walk up to a counter and pay when you want, like at a couple of local Mexican restaurants. Some you pay when you arrive and order, like Jason’s Deli.
These are all in a city of about 125,000 people in a central US state and within a three mile stretch of road.
I like NZ.
When you’re done, you get up, walk to the counter, pay, and leave.
Card never leaves your sight. No timing issues. No tipping.

Italy as well, and i assume many other places in the world outside of north america
I know right? They even get paid a ‘proper’ wage regardless of how busy the restaurant is.
In Brazil they bring the POS to your table. You pay with your card and leave. I like this here too
