TABLET ORDERINGSome restaurants have replaced their menus with tablets. These tablets allow you to see what's on the menu and contact your server to order. However, some restaurants, like Chilies, go further and let you pay your bill and even download apps to play while you wait for your food. Other restaurants are right behind. Applebee's, for example, claimed to be acquiring and installing 100,000 tablets. When I interviewed Chris Littlefield, he said he experienced an increase in tablets, and other touchscreen devices being ordered.
TABLETS IN THE KITCHENWhile the majority of tablets are being used for ordering in eating establishments, others use them in the kitchen for a different purpose. Some chefs use this technology to track recipes in the kitchen. A software company called AirWatch has technology like that to push recipes down a line of chefs, resembling a sort of culinary assembly line.
