It's a great idea, now I can see how every item looks.

Have you gone to a restaurant that does that?

Not for every single item though, at least not that I've seen.

It's uncommon for a restaurant to have a picture for every menu item. If your menu is on an iPad, you don't really have much of an excuse to not offer a picture for every item.

Typically, the only Asian places that do this are takeout, which are almost consistently the worst places to get Asian food. Not that takeout is bad, but the only reason it's good is because it's Asian and unhealthy.

Last time I went to Red Robin they had a tablet device at all the tables and you could just order through that, whatever you wanted.

They got any games on those?
---

Fuck yeah. I usually take it home with me.

Imagine spending like $30 and geting a free iPad out of it. I tip at least 50% in that case.

Chili's has these too. Looks like you could pay to play games on them. Never really messed with them tbh

I mean the menus are on paper in plastic or just paper at most other restaurants.

This is a stupid idea from a business perspective. Charging power, expense paying for them, software issues/malfunctions, ease of accessibility is gone.... I just don't see the reason you'd need to do this as a gimmick. Laminated paper menus are the best kind of menu. Pick it up. Open it. Bam, right there. Some things are better automated, but menus are bottom of the list.

From my experience in SoCal the opposite is true.

Agreed.

You can make a menu that you can access and order from for smartphones(like when you connect to the stores wifi it prompts you to open the menu or something)
But yeah buying dozens of iPads sounds like a shit idea

My brother brought up a good point too. Get a tech monkey who wants an iPad to use it. It will be stolen and any tracking device you plan on it is gone. Just too much maintenance and responsibility to focus on watching them and doing your job.

The restaurants I've been to that use ipads also allow you to order right from the device. The servers have less work to do and i know for a fact that they get paid less and receive zero tips.

More of this idea for companies to kill jobs and save money. That poverty grows more and more every day.

Those things aren't usually iPads though.

I think those durable little kiosks actually make sense though unlike an iPad. They're physically durable, probably use much more stable software (unless you decide to constantly update them and add new features), and they don't need to worry much about people stealing them considering that their large and probably not very useful to the average person.
