I'll be your waiter?

If one company has its way, however, a tablet computer may very well replace your favorite waiter. Enter E la carte. Envisioned as the link between your table and the kitchen, as well as the host’s stand, the device will let you handle almost every aspect of your meal without speaking to a member of the restaurant’s staff.

Here’s how it works: You sit at your table and, instead of opening menus, your options are displayed on a touchscreen. You simply make your selections, tap on your order, and wait. Eventually a human (at least until someone designs a food-delivery robot) arrives with your meal. After you’re finished you pay via the tablet, get up, and leave.

The system could be also be used to keep track of your prior orders and personalize the experience specifically to you. Frequent users of restaurant rewards programs could check their status and available points from the table. And, the potential to let the kids play a game or two while the adults enjoyed a quiet meal is too wonderful a prospect to overlook.

Restaurant owners will find it impossible to not take a look at this system, presumably while their wait staff watches from afar, hoping beyond hope that it crashes during the demonstration. According to E la carte, restaurants could see a 10% increase in the value of every order after the system is implemented. A staff of five could easily be reduced to two or even one during non-peak operating hours.

Those working in fine dining establishments have little to fear as it is doubtful that their patrons value efficiency over the overall dining experience. But, those in small family owned restaurants, as well as the major chains and neighborhood standards, might want to take notice. Their days of saying, “Hi. I’ll be taking care of you this evening,” may very well be coming to an end.

This iPad works wonders and it’s optimized with the tablet. In comparison to the Google iPad app, this killer app is a lot more fun to use and users will definitely enjoy its wide array of features.

Amazingly, users have the chance to search any topics they want. It allows the users to check information from the basic daily news and weather to the latest trend or even information in the business world. The easy access is made possible by the content tiles of the app’s home screen.
It’s a complete package for iPad users since it allows the users to browse the internet with its optimized in-app.

Browsing is made easy, thus users call this app as a browser, though officially it is not. A single flick of your fingers allows you to gather lots of information. Additional information can even be sourced without the use of the search box.

The “swipe interface” feature, as called by Microsoft, is another feature of this iPad app which makes it the killer type. The user can quickly go back to his or her previous search by a simple right swipe.
