The restaurant must have a portable terminal that supports contactless payment. Very few restaurants in the US do. All restaurants in Europe and most of the rest of the world do; the US is unbelievably backward when it comes to consumer technology. Even Canada is more advanced than the US in this area. You can ask, but the answer will probably be that you must use a physical card.
