John recently came across the scale of lonliness and among the 1st 3 level of shopping alone, eating dinner alone and going to a cafe alone. 2/3 items involves eating or consuming food and drinks alone.

John really hates having meals alone especially ordering dinner for one. As John is a foodie and he loves to try a variety of food, thus he really enjoy having lunch and dinner with friends as he will then be able to order a main, with several other snacks or finger food to try out. This will enable him to try out more dishes and avoid food wastage as John is unable to consume a large portion of food.

Another downside of having dinner for one is his choice of dinning option, as he will have issue securing a seat at fast food restaurants which offers free seating, as John feels insecure leaving his personal belongings on an unmanned table.

Thus, if John were to dine alone, he will have to visit place where server will help take orders and serve food, in the past, John would usually make do with instant noodles in such a situation, but with technology, now it's better as more outlets support ordering via scanning of QR code and food will be served once order is placed while seated at the table.

So do your prefer to have dinner for a group or dinner for one?
