The Self Order Kiosk (iPad Kiosk) – How it Entices Your Patrons2 min read

It’s a truly convenient digital age in which we live. Everything – or virtually everything – is automated these days to make our lives easier. This profoundness is a powerful intuition that allows us to make our lives easier and less tedious. From simple parking apps on smartphones that ping where you parked your car in that eight-level tower parking garage downtown is, all the way to apps that find the best prices while you are grocery shopping; and everything and anything in between. The truth told: consumers crave convenience. They want the power of “do” in the palm of their hands. And they want that power of “do” to be smart, easy to use and fun. That’s exactly what you’ll give them with a self order iPad kiosk.

The Self Order iPad Kiosk

The self order iPad kiosk represents a revelation in customer service and the dining experience overall. Those 80s movies of animated automatons (robots with bipedal movement) serving customers in restaurants weren’t all that farfetched. However, waiters are not being replaced. Rather, their jobs are being made easier so that customers can enjoy a more refined dining experience. With the self order iPad kiosk, that’s exactly what happens.

• Customers are seated at a table as usual by the host or hostess.
• At their table, there is a vibrant and brightly lit self order iPad kiosk that’s mounted.
• Customers can browse menu items, view high definition pictures, read detailed descriptions and learn more about menu items.
• They can place their drink orders by tapping a button and selecting what drinks they are thirsty for.
• Patrons can select the menu items they want and add them to their order list, with suggested drink pairing options.
• Servers are pinged whenever orders are placed via a handy smartphone ordering app (the Open Communicator).
• Orders are sent to the kitchen to be created.
• At any time, a diner can press a button on the iPad kiosk to summons a waiter to their table.
• Custom cooking specifications can be entered into each order for the perfectly made entrée.
• Whenever a patron desires to retrieve their check, they press a button on the screen and the server is immediately informed.
• Streaming news feeds and social media plug-ins entertains guests while they dine.
