From Hand to Mouth
Instant Touch Table Ordering
Just out at a family restaurant near you, are the new SmartMenus from X2 Computing.
This sleek, attractive ‘at-the-table’ ordering solution is proving a hit in quick service hospitality environments including hotel room service.
Recent trials have shown that wireless ordering solutions such as this will increase service delivery and food and beverage revenues up to whopping 63%.
The new device looks and feels very similar to a regular menu, with detailed pages which can be designed to meet the venue’s house style. Diners place their orders directly from their table without the need for a member of staff to serve them.
The wireless network sends orders to kitchen or bar and the menus integrate with existing POS terminals to streamline the billing process.
Costing only a few pence a day, the SmartMenu is cost-effective, simple to instal, enhances the customers’ dining experience and helps the restaurant or hotel run more efficiently. X2 also offer a fully managed service from installation through to training and support, including menu updates.

Usability Workshop @ KEX 2012
What can self-service terminals learn from the success of the iPad? The Usability Expert Workshop will explore ways of developing self-service solutions capable of inspiring the same fanatical reaction as Apple’s iconic product. On the 7th of March this year, hundreds of people were out on the streets, waiting to be amongst the first to get their hands on the latest iPad iteration. They had camped out all night with their thermoses in the freezing cold. Why are so many people willing to do this in front of every Apple store, but not for a new check-in terminal at the airport, train station, or shopping mall? What’s behind the buzz, and how can we encourage a similar reaction to self-service solutions? Through expert contributions and together with you, we will seek to answer these questions and explore future ways to get there. KIOSK EUROPE and Handspiel will present the Usability Expert Workshop as part of KIOSK EUROPE EXPO 2012, which runs from 12-13 June. The Usability Workshop will take place on Wednesday, 13th June from 10:30-13:30. Numbers are limited, so secure your place now by booking online at www.kioskeurope-expo.com
