Menus Becoming a Restaurant Reality
Trend Watch by Matt Duckor, Apr 27, 2011
Restaurateurs have tried (often unsuccessfully) to implement
technology in their restaurants over the past decade. The latest push stems from
an interest in displaying restaurant menus on computer tablets, but it hasn't
managed to gain much traction. But then Apple decided to reinvent the tablet and
the discussion was brought back to life. Well, the paperless revolution has
begun.
News comes today that the Celebrity Eclipse, the newest cruise ship from
Celebrity Cruises, has purchased iPads for waiters to hand out to each guest in
their on board dining room. On one hand, supporters will point out that
electronic menus will drastically cut back the amount of paper used by
restaurants. Critics of the move to paperless menus will probably mention
something about the idea of weird, glowing light ruining the ambiance of any
restaurant.
