I mean there wasn't a way to remote order in ancient Rome. You'd have to go yourself or send someone.



What's funny is that I didn't even think of that until I read your comment. I totally imagined an ancient Roman calling in their order on their phone.


Have a pyre at your home's roof, and an arrangement with a restaurant to send a meal when they see it on fire. I'm joking, of course.


They had multistory appartment buildings. What if you didn't live on the top floor?
