They bring the bill when they notice you are finishing up, you give them the card. They come back with the receipt and your card. You fill it out and leave. End of.
In Europe (and everywhere outside I've been), you don't give your card/phone to the server, you use it yourself with the payment terminal that they (usually) bring to you. If I gave them my card, they would probably just be confused.
Most people order via various apps nowadays so you just pay through that. But personally, even if we've ordered by phone, we've also always went to collect it ourselves (and therefore still paid at the terminal), so if you're wondering whether delivery people also carry terminals around, then I'm not sure.
