  • “We can show more items. With the daily specials, instead of changing out those plastic letters, we can just upload it and it runs. If we want to change it midday, it’s really easy to do, which is important because we want the majority of our employees’ focus to be on customer service.”
  •  
    The owners of a Culver's franchise decided to install a digital signage to provide more menu information quickly because the menu board couldn't communicate enough with customers for a short time to select menu in the fast food restaurant. The challenge was how the small business owners and franchisee would handle their budget for the investment and added cost.  The problem was solved by selecting EzSign TV from LG Electronics which displays branded messaging and shows broadcast television or input content at the same time. Furthermore, the software offers a choice of more than 50 templates that can be customized with images and text. Therefore, the business can highlight the items with pictures and deliver their daily specials more efficiently.  Installation is easy, and daily specials menus can be replaced by simply clicking. The digital signage looks cleaner than old fashioned menu board, and saves more time to change menus. By implementing a system that requires limited attention from staff, Culver's can focus on customer service and deliver value. That was a good decision adopting a new technology fits in the quick service restaurants.

  •  
    As the world develops, more and more restaurants use e-menu to order food. Ipad, the fashion of technology also attract restaurants eyes. Some owners invest into Ipad menu in order to attract more customers and make more gross profit. Also, many owners are worry about security risks, maintenance, education, and so on. Here are some advantages of ipad menu such as paperless, electronic receipts, tips, categorized menu, suggestions, reports, inventory, speedy orders and picking a plate. Because of eliminating print, there are no more receipts or written signatures. It is the reason of paperless. And customers can quickly calculate their waitress tips on the ipad. Also, the guests can use the ipad to design their own meal. If guests have some questions about the wine according to the food preference, Ipad menu will answer it. Another reason is the ipad menu should increase the speedy orders. The orders will transfer to kitchen in seconds and save the time for waiting the waitress to order the food. At the same time, if the restaurant is busy, guests will play some games on Ipad to wait for their food, which instead of complains. At last, because of saving time and labor cost, the restaurant should be save cost and easy to collect data of the restaurant. There are still some disadvantages. For example, every customer wants an individual iPad as their own menu, so restaurants must purchase numerous iPads with one per seat. Because of this reason, the restaurant should be care for the thefts. And the managers need to train every waitress to use the ipad menu. The expense should increase in training.Also, some guests do not know how to use ipad menu and the technology is not suit for them. At last, you need to pay more in maintenance.

Galla POS develops platform for tablet-enabled menus | mydigitalfc.com - 0 views

  • With eye on serving the hotels and restaurants, Hyderabad-based start-up Galla Pos has developed a platform for tablet-enabled menus and billing. It is now in talks with an Indian mobile handset maker as well as a few Chinese players for the hardware (tablets) for embedding its software.
  • In the first phase, Reddy said the effort will be to reach out to hotels in Hyderabad and later to other cities in Andhra Pradesh and Bangalore. There is a lot business potential. The same concept can be used for small food joints and grocery stores, he said, adding the company will look to provide platform on a monthly rent or for a one time fee.
  • “As the business model matures, the basic platform could be given free, while we will charge for analytics, predictions and other tools that will be built into this,” he said. At present, it is processing orders from a handful of hotels but is seeing more queries coming. Typically, a small hotel is taking about four to five licences-only the first licence is priced higher and the subsequent ones at a fraction, he said.
  •  
    As this article mentioned, for convenient menus and faster billing, Galla Pos run a platform. It introduces how to use this technology and this device will bring down the cost of the handset. In addition, visuals and various menus will assist customers to order faster and better, especially for the foreigners. As a Chinese, if the restaurant provide visuals or more description of the menu, it will help me to understand the food better. This concept will apply in more hotels later and small food joints or grocery stores. I like this idea and I believe more and more industries will apply for it because it provides better quality of service to assist the job of employees and make everything new and effective.

    This article is about a company named eMenue International that offers a revolutionary way of allowing customers to order their food. Instead of the traditional paper menues, guests would be given iPads where they could view pictures and videos of the food that is available to order. This visual element was added in on the premise that people are more enticed by visual elements rather than descriptions of the meal. This technology was adopted by one of NYC's oldest steakhouses agter 100 years, which bodes very well for the business since checks increas by up to 9% after a couple of months. Some of the most valuable aspects of this new method of ordering is the ability for someone to view menue items in the native tongue, widening the range of customers restaurants can receive, increasing profits. Another thing to note is that this menue allows people to click on a tab that caters to their specific dietary needs. In terms of marketing, this could be great since it also offers the ability to showcase the different amenities in the restaurant whther that means meeting space or event packages.

2011 POS Innovations: Mobility on the March | Top Stories | | Hospitality Magazine (HT) - 0 views

  • Another new POS vendor, eTab, debuted its table-side ordering and payment solution this past May at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago. The solution allows restaurant and bar patrons to order and pay for meals at their table through a digital menu interface on a portable touch-screen computer, wirelessly connecting each table to the restaurant’s wait staff and existing POS system. 
  • Earlier this year at the International Restaurants & Foodservice Show of New York, Squirrel Systems announced the launch of the latest addition to the Squirrel Mobility suite of products, Squirrel Professional for Apple mobile devices. Squirrel Professional allows restaurants, bars, and hotels to manage their food and beverage operations from stationary terminals as well as mobile tablets and handhelds like the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.
  •  
    The hospitality industry began to develop the mobile point-of-sale (POS) technology. Technology vendors brought POS capabilities to consumers' own devices. Hospitality Technology has scanned many of the latest releases in point-of-sale technology to help restaurants keep up-to-date on mobile solutions. For example, Tabbedout, a secure mobile payment solution, allows patrons to open, view and pay their tabs, for free, with an iPhone or Android smartphone. Another example is Micros Makes Memorable Menus. An interactive restaurant menu and marketing portal built for the Apple iPad that enables restaurants to showcase upcoming events, programs, food and beverage menus, and daily specials; as well as to facilitate tabletop ordering and payment processing.

  • Credit card security.
  • High capex.
  • Breakage.
  • Extensive use of technology everywhere.
  • Risk of replacing human with techno-machine.
  • Theft of the tablet.
  • The transactions and customer data (from tablet) should be integrated to the existing restaurant systems like POS, CRM, Analytics software etc which attracts additional cost and time.
  • tablet-based menus are a good change in the restaurant industry. But, replacing the entire waiter crew with only tablets is going to haunt the restaurant. We predict that a mix of both is going to work in the restaurant industry.
  • Restaurants need to take a calculated (risky) call to adopt this trend by considering the ROI and all merits and demerits the technology attracts.
  •  
    For several years, tablets/eMenus have been rising in popularity within dining establishments as a way to increase efficiency and revenue for the establishment. Customers are able to view the menu in it's entirety along with pictures of each item, allowing the customer to view exactly what they are ordering. This could potentially decrease the amount of orders sent back to the kitchen and decrease food waste, thus minimizing loss of revenue. Although this developing technology has many advantages, there are a few disadvantages that management must consider before implementing these systems. Credit card security, risk of replacing wait staff/jobs, and potential theft of the system being a few.

In Acrelec’s case, its technology learns what menu items are typically purchased together to give customer more intelligent recommendations
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • Developers are also already working on digital menus that change depending on the user. So, for example, a customer who has shared data about their allergies or diet choices, such as being vegan or vegetarian, will only see menu items that meet this criteria
  • Restaurant groups including SSP, Big Table, Boparan Restaurant Group and Din Tai Fung are among those trialling robotic waiters designed to support staff members with tasks such as delivering food and clearing tables
  • As recruitment challenges continue to bite, more restaurant groups are likely to look to automation for help
  • Could machine learning stop restaurant operators avoid opening the wrong venue in the wrong place? That’s the pitch from US company Borne, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse a wide range of data points to help predict the viability of a concept in a particular location
  • The company says that through ‘superior analysis and pattern identification’ its The Borne Report service can reduce restaurant failures by eliminating what most would agree is the root cause of closures - the wrong site in the wrong place
  • intuitive technology that automatically adjusts aspects such as lighting, volume and music tempo in a restaurant based on a number of important factors, such as that offered by tech company Startle
  • Tech start-up Karakuri has developed an ‘automated frying solution’ that can integrate with existing systems to drop fries and other items when required. As well as labour savings, the company says food waste is reduced thanks to portion control technology that ensures fry baskets are filled with the right amount of product to match demand
  • The company even considers the likely mood impact of music using a model of neuro-typical responses to individual tracks
  • Startle also provides digital signage and can set rules that change what’s on the screens depending on the weather or footfall, such as ice cream promotions during heat waves, or hot drinks during cold spells.
  • Chris Sanderson, founder of shiftworking marketplace limber, believes that apps such as his will give rise to the ‘portfolio career’.
  • employers embracing tech to pull from a larger pool of staff and lower the barrier to entry for new joiners
  • The pitch of apps such as limber is that they can help hospitality businesses connect with a growing generation of talent who are looking to work more flexibly and help them hire
  • As the global hospitality industry looks to combat crippling staff shortages, robotic fry cooks are now being deployed back-of-house
  • The US is leading the way, with burger brands including Jack in the Box and White Castle experimenting with burger flipping robots and Panda Express having rolled out a robotic wok
  • According to Startle, increasing the bass of music has been proven to make listeners feel more confident and increase levels of dopamine
  • Acrelec’s QTimer 2.0 which, during busy periods, can automatically switch to a simplified menu and recommend items that are quicker to prepare and guide customers to make a decision more quickly to avoid a back-up of traffic
  • Biometrics looks set to further shake up how payments are made, with fingerprints more likely to become the norm than facial recognition, which is generally considered less reliable
  • Yet many brands, particularly those with a global reach, are already seeing the metaverse as the next big thing in both marketing and customer experience, including in the hospitality sector
  • For the restaurant of the future, sustainability will be more than just a buzzword related to the procurement of ingredients. Instead, it will refer to much-wider remit of considerations to help operators reduce the pressure on their bottom line
  • Energy control devices that can communicate with different kitchen units and regulate their power supply are likely to be key in helping restaurants reduce their energy costs. “Such technology will be able to cut down on peak demands,” explains Threlfall. “These devices could help restaurants reduce their total electrical costs by between 5% and 25% and decrease peak power consumption by 20% to 40%

Restaurant Replaces Menus and More with iPad - 0 views

  •  
    This article shows how technology has advanced in this modern world. From a server ordering your food at a restaurant, to having an ipad that list the menu of the restaurant. It is very practical in the sense that, instead of printing all the time for the different changes that the owner's make when listing the menu, it can be done directly on the ipad with the touch of a button. The guests at "Do Restaurant at the View" place their orders through the touch screen, and then the server only comes when something is requested or to serve the food to the guests. The owner of the restaurant stated "The coolest thing about it is that there are no more wrinkled menus with ketchup on it or pizza sauce on it," says Christian Ruffin. I very much agree with this statement because I have been to restaurants where some menu's were not to clean. On the other hand, I believe that it also changes the atmosphere of the place in a good way, for example, the workers can use the ipad and its applications to change the lighting of the room and also play different songs depending on the mood of the customer's. The customer's order everything using the application, and any request that they need, a server comes to see what they need. With the touch of the ipad, customer's can also notify the valet parking to let them know their status and how far they are from finishing their meals in order for the valet people to know iwhen to bring the car to them. The payment is also done on the ipad. Now, my question is that: will they leave any tips for the server that just brought the food? since everything is being done through the ipad, I want to know how different it is from using a paper menu and the service that is delivered using the ipad instead.
