Providing Safety for Credit Card Payments at Restaurant

My sister had a misfortune last Saturday: after visiting a posh restaurant she found her credit card number was stolen. Thanks God the bank practices great security methods and she didn't lose anything. However, the whole thing was absolutely stressing.
We decided to find out whether there is anything in this country that can prevent such breaches. Google gave a very interesting result: an article about credit card payment security at restaurants tells about pay-at-table devices to control how your credit card is processed by the waiter. they also say the device is widely used in Europe, while in the US it is not well-known. We are looking forward to seeing the gadget in our restaurants... Using cash so far.
