iPad set to replace restaurant menus and reduce staff
Ipads are set to replace staff and menus in restaurants. Restaurants have decided to come up with the idea to use ipads as menus so customers can look and order there food right there at the table without a waiter, that will reduce jobs at the restaurants. The first restaurant to do this will be in southern California in May with two more restaurants to follow. The ipad will sit on the table in a case therefore allowing customers to look at the menu, pick what they want, and also pick what toppings you will want on your burgers, salads, and pizzas. They can select what type of meat and buns they will want by clicking and dragging on the ipad. When people are done choosing what they want there will be a screen that shows what everyone has ordered. The ipads also allow access to pay for your meal right there at your table. They say they were going to use laptops as the ipads haven’t came out yet when they were thinking of the idea so once the ipads came out they said it was a major breakthrough. They don’t want to make or call the restaurant the ipad restaurant they want it to be a normal restaurant just with the high tech way of ipads as their menus. They say if anyone would decide to steal the ipad at the table it has an alarm system that will go off as soon as it is located outside of the store the sound makes a similar sound as if someone was stealing something from a regular store. They say the ipads are also being used in different situations such as in New York plazas like concierge experience as well as in grand central terminals, used as a cash register. They say that as these ideas come to mind that the ipads will become more widespread in these specific situations.
