The 70-year-old pub boss suggested he may even veto the technology in the future, emphasizing the importance of face-to-face interaction. The comments came in response to a pub-goer’s complaint that ordering via an app diminishes the atmosphere, removing the opportunity to chat with bar staff and fellow customers.
