so, randomly i was in harvard and in specific need of broccoli soup and uno's was the one place i was certain it could be found.
once seated, we found that they are trying out a new at-table ordering system. it has positives and negatives, but basically it's a small computer where the diner orders their own food directly instead of telling the waitstaff what they want. we went early this week and they had Just started using it- i wonder if that's one reason why they closed porter's location. they probably didn't want to shell out any more money on the new test product (and also, we wondered if the item might be a ploy to reduce waitstaff)....
