16 Restaurant-Related Technologies

From Seat Saving Reservation Apps to WiFi Drink Dispensers

The flurry of recent restaurant technologies now available are poised to change the way a lot of eateries do business over the next few years.

As more of these restaurant technologies get off the ground, they have the chance to dramatically change the way restaurants function. Certain conveniences that weren't previously a reality might soon be the norm.

For instance, have you ever had a slow waiter or waitress who makes you wait forever just to take your order and then proceeds to mess up the details anyway? The table top touchscreen menu aims to alleviate some of the stress caused by such bad service. This is one of the restaurant technologies that could help restaurants provide better service.

Another interesting item was the booth iPhone docks installed in some Tokyo Burger Kings.
