Tablets are easier to read and easier to drop in a jug of water. Phones are already paid for and already in the waiter's hand.

Tablet

Larger tap targets at a fixed counter.
Another device to charge, case, and replace.
SpoonCub can run in a tablet browser, but it is not required.

Phone

One device for calls and tickets.
Add SpoonCub to the home screen.
Lock it with a PIN before you hand it over.

Which one to run

Use a phone until the counter is so busy that a dedicated tablet stays there all night. Do not buy both on day one.
