Why don't all food service places have you pay when you order? It works like that in the uk in more than half of places and the establishment can't suffer any loss.

Because they want to upsell you throughout the meal, add on drinks, appetizers, side dishes, desserts, etc.

why couldn't they do it anyway after they've made you paid for the first round?

Every time they ask you for more money is more friction, and you're more likely to be aware of how much you're spending. They'd rather you just order food without thinking about prices until the bill comes.

It's also harder to hit you with hidden fees.if you see it before, then you can refuse. If you eat the food and then find out you can't exactly refuse to pay as easily.

Fast food places and cafes, sure, but not restaurants with waiting staff. Even the least trusting of those will just take your card when you sit down then charge you at the end.
