If the concept of tipping seems like absolute nonsense, then a system like the Lightspeed Self-Order Menu is the first step toward the ideal dining experience. The tablet-based dining platform puts consumers in control of their meals, allowing them to order and pay directly through the interface (and nearly eliminating contact with service staff in the process).
The Lightspeed Self-Order Menu is a self-service app run through tablets. The system can be configured with mobile tablets placed at diners' tables at the start and end of meals, or it can be placed at a stationary point in the restaurant to allow diners to access it at their leisure. It enables consumers to order their food and drinks directly through the touch screen, which ultimately speeds up dining time and puts more control in the hands of patrons.
