I’m not sure what’s confusing here. You pay exactly the price you see on the menu.
(Plus ~10% tax based on which state and town/city you’re in. Plus ~15-20% tip. Plus sometimes a mantatory “gratuity” or whatever they’re calling it. Plus parking sometimes, unless you remember to validate it if the place supports that. Look it’s a lot of random things and even I can’t keep track of it anymore.)
Wireless card readers are relatively new tech. I see them more and more as time goes on. New places usually give their waitstaff mobile readers, but there’s little motivation for older restaurants to upgrade their whole POS systems. POS systems have pretty long life expectancy. At least the older ones do.
Restaurants are weird in the US too - why do you need to take my credit card to another room?
Also weird that the restaurant pays the staff the absolute bare minimum and you need to supplement their income based on how much you order.

After reading and understanding the fineprint, I’ve now forgotten what I wanted to order in the first place. LOL
