Restaurants in America have taken a punt on an electronic device that allow customers to select menu items using a touch-screen interface, and pay at the end of the meal.
The device – which includes pictures and games, and is available in San Francisco and Boston restaurants – is being marketed as saving customers’ time, and increasing up-sells and tips, TechCrunch reports.
According to TechCrunch, the company behind the device, E la Carte, has already raised more than $1 million from investors.
Restaurants are charged less than $100 per unit per month.
Smart Company is the leading online publication in Australia for free news, information and resources catering to Australia’s entrepreneurs, small and medium business owners and business managers.
