Good on em. I used to work for an E La Carte competitor that used iPads instead of Android devices, and it's a tough market right now.
There exists a lot of resistance from the waitstaff who see tabletop devices as job killers, and customers are pretty much divided down the middle (they either love em or hate em). It seems like dining was always going to trend towards something like this, it was just a matter of when. Restaurants are pretty old in their way of thinking, and it's quite the accomplishment to get 100k devices on tables.
- joezydeco 13y agoI see it as increased load for the waitstaff. The goal of these devices is to upsell, upsell, upsell while avoiding the downtime of a waiter/waitress standing there idle - either taking orders or checking on customers, etc etc etc. Move higher priced checks through more tables quicker. Of course, that could also mean higher tipouts for the staff...
