He can just as easily do that walking across the dining room to the bathroom regardless of who brings his food to his table, it changes absolutely nothing about the risk involved or the legal liability.
Being surrounded by hot food and other guests is unavoidable in a restaurant dining area, that’s kinda the point of the space. Yes actually hot food can be spilled onto a customer by a different customer walking through the dining area for any reason at all, not exclusive to this scenario. I’m not concerned at all with who was “meant” to do the work, as long as the employee in question still gets paid the end result is the same. It’s weird behavior for sure, but not necessarily harmful or malicious.
Slip and fall, for one.

While holding hot food? Surrounded by other guests? Doing the work that the restaurant employee was meant to do?
Just sit down and let them do their job. They don’t want your help, I promise you.
