Yeah, but what compute? what are they computing?

The driving need for edge computing is low-latency. There just isn't the need for it in a restaurant.

I do hope they're not doing real-time control of kitchen equipment via something in a container, containers in Linux are nowhere near deterministic enough.

This strikes me as someone who is familiar with only web technologies but unfamiliar with control systems attempting to create a control system.... completely inappropriate tools for the job.
