It seems that for quite some time now restaurants have been playing catch-up to the digital era. While many have already implemented touch screen monitors and software for their workers - so that food and orders can be better expedited to and from the kitchen, and so that payment can be more easily tendered - seemingly, paper menus are the last item yet to be upgraded at most restaurants. However, with the newer handheld digital menus that are coming out, mostly seen in the form of feature laden iPad touch screen tablet computers, some features that are being offered on these electronic menus are easily top choices for picky consumers who demand the very best in food service.
Imbedded Popular Social Media Channels
One of the most common apps that patrons will find - and enjoy using - on these innovative handheld digital menus are imbedded social media feeds. People love using social media sites. When they can tell their friends about how enjoyable their experience was at a particular restaurant, it serves to better promote the establishment and attract or retain new customers; who may not have known about the place otherwise.
Streaming News Feeds & Headlines
Reading the paper over breakfast or lunch is so common that many popular breakfast and lunch restaurants offer free newspapers to accommodate their guests. However, much like paper menus are outdated, so are newspapers. Instead, with handheld digital menus, streaming news feeds are an easily added feature. They also can provide much more news than a static newspaper can, and are easily a top amenity for patrons.
Request Table Service Feature
Nobody wants to have to track down their server when they need a glass refilled, or want to order another menu item. This is why the leading handheld digital menu software offers a simple "call the server" button. Patrons can merely touch the screen, and the server is alerted that their table is in need of attention.
Tender Payment (POS) Option
Waiting for the bill can be frustrating; particularly if you are dining at a place that is very popular and crowded. But with handheld digital menus that have incorporated POS casual dining in them, customers can tender payment securely via the digital menu, as opposed to waiting for the bill to be taken care of by the server. Similarly, they can also use the included and handy tip calculator to more easily figure out the amount of gratuity to offer for service.
