By Kerri Stout


Time has proven to get better and better! You called on your best loved restaurant a night or two ago and surprisingly there was a tablet fastened to the table. You were bemused by this, as you presumed a waiter will be round soon with a menu. Then it struck you to inspect the tablet, why a restaurant menu on a tablet.

Here you are thinking about opening your own pub and have been considering all the possibilities. Your options are limitless, what an innovative idea. Oh wait, how can you include getting a device per table when you are just starting up, what an expense?

Exploring the different devices will be necessary. You will have to compare each device to assess it price versus quality, as the range is so vast at present. Maybe with better examination this venture may not be as unaffordable as originally thought. Though it may be a very wise idea to still have a few physical menus; and only start with just a few devices. You can introduce the devices at a leisurely pace; expanding the venture as your business improves.

Imagine the possibilities, not only will your patrons be able to order straight off the device, they can also select how they would like their steak to be cooked, and which sides they would prefer. No more human error. Another fantastic bonus would be to add certain apps that are relevant to your business, imagine this great advertising opportunity. You can cut your budget in half.

A fabulous dream realized, with great potential. You get to mix your business and creative talents. You can rule the world; anything is possible over the internet. How about starting a blog about the pub; your patrons are most welcome comment and add advice.

What a fantastic money and time saver; you only have to make changes to one data base when you need to put up your food prices, reprinting regularly will not be required. You are completely confident in altering your specials weekly or daily if required. This will be your most spectacular venture ever made.

How thrilling would it be for your customers to confirm weekly the offered live entertainment at your pub on the device; the information can be kept fully up to date so easily and quickly. A weekly news letter regarding all the events in your area sounds like a wonderful idea; this will ensure all your frequent customers are kept fully up to date on news in the area.

You will be revolutionizing the industry, no more time wasted while your patrons wait for an inattentive waiter. When you are ready to order it goes straight to the kitchen, no delays. You may need to consider that some of your patrons will not be keen or able to use the devices; especially the older generation. Having a few hard copies will alleviate any stress and frustrations.

Technology is to be admired; your menu on a tablet, wonderful! It is surely the way to go, a great adventure to be tried. What else can we look forward too, each table getting their own mini television so each customer can support their favorite team?
