Tablet: No more waiters needed to order!

Nothing seems to stop the technology. In addition, it has arrived in the restaurants! Smartphones was there before, where you can take photos of the dishes, and especially immediately send it on social networks. The next revolution will come from the tablet...

The concept is simple and increasingly popular in the United States. A tablet created only for restaurant allows customers to view the menu, place the order and pay the bill ... without even having to get up or depending on a waiter.

In Quebec, the practice is less common but still being tested in some restaurants.

The young US company "E la Carte" currently is growing up quickly since the development of this concept two years ago. Present in twenty shops in San Francisco and Boston in the beginning, they hope it could now be used in more than 100,000 restaurants.

Restaurant currently using this technology have noticed a 10% increase in sales.

As customers of restaurants, would you be willing to use a tablet to send your order?
