It’s getting to be less common. A lot of newer/trendier places are giving their wait-staff tablets (which are also handling ordering, seating status, etc), or at least portable payment terminals.

Some of the big established chains have kiosks at the table where you can order apps/drinks directly, pay, play games.

I’ve also been to several places that’ll put a QR code on the receipt for payment. They may also have their menu online that you can get from a QR on the table. As an added bonus that usually means their online menu is actually kept up to date.
