collab and i also saw one of the golf carts that they probably take to his locations in little italy over by the piazza d familia so what you can do over here at eats by sam is you order through the computer and you're basically not having any human interaction besides when they bring you the food you order the food and then you'll get a notification that it's ready and you just pick it up up front and you're ready to go no human interaction no waiter service but you know what in this pandemic it's a great way to go it's what you call a ghost kitchen another thing that i really love about
