Self-ordering kiosks have become a common occurrence in most restaurants, but one Ukraine-based company called Kodisoft is taking the digital technology to a new level after successfully creating a connected table that doubles as a 50-inch computer screen.
Each of these touchscreen tables come equipped with virtual menus from which diners can order from. In addition to its convenience, these tables benefit those dining with children as the easy-to-use menus enable customization for picky little ones. After food is ordered, the guests can play a variety of family friendly games which serve as the perfect distraction until the food arrives.
As an added bonus, Kodisoft's tables can connect to Facebook, so users can update their profiles while the restaurant accesses their user data, producing targeted ads.
